No cooperation with T or the GOP. It's their shutdown. Make them own it and defend it www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/repu...

SCOTUS's only analysis of the law: "T wins." SCOTUS "allowed the Trump administration to withhold $4 billion in foreign aid that had been appropriated by Congress in a...test of [T's] efforts to wrest the power of the purse from the legislature." www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/repu...

Somehow, according to the SCOTUS majority, perceived, possible, might-happen, could-be harms to the Trump Admin are always worse than actual harms experienced by people who lack resources or recourse.

Today’s shameful shadow docket decision from the Supreme Court—allowing Trump to unilaterally cancel $4 billion in aid—is not behavior that any healthy democracy tolerates of its judiciary. It is a sign of constitutional rot that precedes the rule of law’s collapse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

OUTRAGEOUS behavior from the Department of Justice; a seasoned prosecutor was fired for reminding a Stephen Miller ally that he was required to obey the Constitution and the valid orders of a federal court.

Down-to-the-wire race between the administration and the Supreme Court to see who can most completely reject the concept of "laws" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

Resistance works

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

It’s fine that armed men are waving guns at civilians in the name of national security. I’m sure we are all somehow safer for having guns pointed at our faces. The collective trauma this nation is being put through is immeasurable.

The way this lady flips her hair aside as she blithely insists there was an "overemphasis on slavery" at the Smithsonian is a perfect little touch. But more important -- museums aren't there to make you feel good. You're thinking of an "amusement park." The words look a little alike, I guess.

Holocaust Museums are next. Can't have people reminded of what fascist governance ultimately results in.

"Maybe a few more abusive prosecutions...will encourage the others to wake up from their endless reverie, in which politics is just an amusing game, and the consequences of collaborating with right wing authoritarianism are for other people" www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/step...

Low IQ Trump is 79 years and 104 days old today, Sept. 26, 2025. In addition to being morally bankrupt, he is deteriorating both mentally and physically before our eyes. His unfitness for office is more apparent every day

Today, Sept. 26, 2025, is the 250th day that T, a convicted criminal, has been in the WH. 1,211 days until Jan. 20, 2029. 402 days until the midterms. >75 million of us voted for Kamala. We are not afraid of TACO & his goons. We will never sit down. We will never shut up. We will never stop fighting

Here's the thing: The mere possibility of investigations and prosecutions is itself designed to achieve Trump/Stephen Miller's goals. “The threat to do it is itself a form of intimidation. It’s intended to chill lawful political expression.” 6/6 newrepublic.com/article/2009...

The Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress so there's a "way out" of a government shutdown if they can only get their shit together. This isn't on Democrats, at all.

"And not one Republican will say a thing."

There must be consequences for this brownshirt behavior. This was not America, and in the future it will also not be — but to make that future happen many people must go to prison.

People who think we can ride this out in a normal fashion are falling into the same collective action failure we have seen again and again. Pushback on every level needs to happen right now. Before midterms are irrelevant and markets are cooked.

ICE agents are criminals. Lock them up.

"What we are seeing now is extreme, but it is the result of Trump’s failure to win over people to his plans for the nation." America to Trump: go to hell

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

"you can’t sell your soul to Trump and keep your spine.... In many cases, those folding have had ample resources to resist Trump’s shakedowns but haven’t been brave enough to do so. They are, in a word, chickenshit." (Quoting Adam Serwer) www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/cowa...

"it’s hard not to feel a touch of schadenfreude about the guy who gave us Trump.... But nothing good comes from this — it’s a grotesque abuse of power that would be immediately impeachable in any remotely functioning constitutional order." www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/jame...

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

If they're still with him, they're beyond reach. Put your time and energy into people who still have working empathy and critical thinking skills. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-may-nee...

Trump says "hate-filled rhetoric" fuels violence and must end. Maybe he should talk to the guy who calls his political opponents "sick, sinister, and evil people" who are "trying to destroy our country" because they are "communists," "Marxists," "lunatics," "vermin," and "the enemy from within."

Low IQ Trump is 79 years and 103 days old today, Sept. 25, 2025. In addition to being morally bankrupt, he is deteriorating both mentally and physically before our eyes. His unfitness for office is more apparent every day

Today, Sept. 25, 2025, is the 249th day that T, a convicted criminal, has been in the WH. 1,212 days until Jan. 20, 2029. 403 days until the midterms. >75 million of us voted for Kamala.

The time is Now! Whoever has thought about getting involved Must do everything he/she can NOW! Whoever HAS gotten involved MUST double their efforts! It will take more than we thought possible to save our country. Everything we thought we’d do if we were living in Germany then, must be done NOW! NOW

Why does it feel like the sense of urgency is blending in with complacency and the Opposition/Resistance that started off fierce is stalling and wavering? I bet there were hundreds of thousands of German citizens who hated Hitler, but thought his time would pass and waited to act. The time is NOW!

BREAKING via @aclunm.bsky.social — ALBUQUERQUE, NM – A federal judge today ordered the immediate release of Paulo Cesar Gamez Lira, a 27-year-old DACA recipient and father of four U.S. citizen children who was unlawfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for 42 days.

Mockler: Hunter Biden was being investigated during Biden's term. Do you think Don Jr. Would ever be investigated by Pam Bondi? Where’s the investigation into Tom Homan?

Good. Now do this for every university nationwide. And then for all the other illegally cancelled grants.

In the spirit of Christianity, we forgive our spouses for driving us to adultery even as we forgive Mexicans for forcing us to become fascists. by Corey Lewandowski and Kristi Noem

“Survivors consistently report that fear of deportation keeps them from calling the police and the perpetrators know it,” Gylnn said. “Abusers use immigration status as a weapon. Survivors disappear in the shadows, and serious crimes go unreported. It makes all of us less safe.”

the first admin certainly had some of this, but this time around, it’s just this fucking whiny crybaby bitch shit from every member of the cabinet all goddamned day long. fucking loser ass presidency.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

So there's good reason why senior people at DOJ miight like prefer EDVA grand jury no bill Lindsey the Insurance Lawyer. If they don't, Comey will have a superb vindictive prosecution claim, with evidence INCLUDING Todd Blanche and Trump himself. And Blanche is already in some trouble ethically.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Wondering why grocery prices are high? Little-to-no competition across the entire food supply chain allows for a price gouging free-for-all. Corporate monopolies get rich, and we pay the tab. What is Trump doing about it? Nothing.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Hamilton said that the Electoral College “affords a moral certainty that the [Presidency] will never fall to ... any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications." The EC has outlived its usefulness by several decades www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/worl...

"Civilians in the U.S. as a group still have more than enough power to keep authoritarianism from solidifying... Though we are careening dangerously down that path, there are not yet enough law enforcement officers to crack down on the whole country... But that window won’t stay open indefinitely."

Yeah, Kimmel is back. And Trump made him much stronger. This was excellent. 410K views on YouTube in the first 30 minutes. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY

I look forward to seeing Trump’s lawsuit, in which he, the president of the United States and the most public figure in the world, attempts to sue a comedy show for being too critical of him.
