It’s a disgrace that Massachusetts pays criminal defense attorneys $65 per hour when New Hampshire pays twice that much. Our state cannot claim to be serious about equal justice unless it rectify this injustice. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/24/o...

Trump wants to go back to a racist name and logo but folks have other ideas.

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

In effect, the Supreme Court ruled that only it could decide issues on a national level. And then, with thousands and thousands of people waiting in limbo for resolution of many legally disputed Trump orders, the justices went on summer vacation, not to return until October.

Indeed.

I’m sure the Trump Administration will be canceling all grants to the University of Florida because of their failure to combat anti-Semitism. Any day now. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

No Kings except Short Kings™️.

No Kings!

A brazen new form of corrupt giveaway by Trump’s DOJ: Bondi’s decision to cave in to meritless big money lawsuits by criminals pursued by the Biden administration will transfer $100M or more from us as taxpayers to those who tried to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. Ugh www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

There are times for wonky policy analysis and fun musical codas. But this isn't one of them paulkrugman.substack.com/p/this-is-no...

Trump's threat to cancel Musk's federal contracts underscored his willingness to use government power to punish enemies. In the old days, that might have been cause for a corruption investigation. In the modern era, it’s just another Thursday. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

The Supreme Court should make it clear that Presidential actions that violate a court order cannot be “official acts” and therefore a President would not be immune from prosecution for them.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Firing a DOJ lawyer for admitting a government error when the lawyer’s duty to the court requires exactly that admission is about as wrong as anything can be. Only in the lawless, topsy-turvy world of Trump and Vance is such absurdity imaginable. Yet here we are! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Supporters Praise Trump For Upholding Traditional American Value Of Supporting Murderous Dictators For Political Gain

Elon Musk fancies himself some kind of maverick technologist superhero. But he’s no Tony Stark. He’s PHONY Stark. He’s the one the Avengers defeat at the end of the movie.

So criminal public officials now get a pass from Trump’s Justice Department if they support his policies.

In the movies James Bond is sent to battle evil billionaires who want to take over the world. In real life if you donate enough to Trump he simply gives them the keys to the country.

Lawyers on here: Is there a legal challenge underway to Musk's apparent seizure of federal spending? If not, why not?

February 2, 2025

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Well said, Pete Buttigieg
