Ignorance is bliss in the Trump White House.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

Powerful statements pulling no punches regarding the murders on the high seas by American fighters following illegal orders apparently with a faux justification by DOJ lawyers who should be disbarred. Ambassador Eisen is raising the key issue: can Americans now get away with murder under Trump?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Amazing Epstein email from George Conway gtconway3 ® on Threads: If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath. @realdonaldtrump

Great Speaker and great lady — the personification of a public servant.

Not my account!

BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/10.09.25...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Wonderful analysis addressing what to watch at the High Court in the coming months…. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you missed Trump‘s speech to the military leadership, or have been snoozing since he resumed Office, it appears that he and roughly 30% of the voting population that support him, want the 70% that does not to give up our liberties and freedom. If we don’t, he will take them using our military.

Important work in progress….

Certainly understand this attorney’s frustration but it’s going to take some creative legal work to ever be able to executed: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMRJJ8L2/

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

More on TRUMP TARIFFS: I have 6 AI platforms on my iPhone. Perplexity & ChatGPT5 do a decent job with legal analysis. AI’s bottom line is the Supreme Court (with CJ Roberts the swing vote) will strike down Trump‘s tariffs in a 5/4 decision. A good test for political/legal prognostication by AI.

Big ruling against Trump's blatantly illegal imposition of tariffs, which are taxes on every American. Working my way through the 127 pages of opinion, so more later. THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL, WITH NO LESS THAN THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AT ISSUE! See: share.google/0v8nPm966u0H...

Donald wins: SMALLEST MAN EVER PRESIDENT! www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.

This is not a false alarm! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Bj4QGJ/

ICYMI -- DON'T! California plans to end Donald's attack on American democracy!

youtu.be/SYyDsJdEk7E Governor Gavin Newsom and California leaders made a major announcement in response to Trump’s gerrymandering attempts in Texas. Newsom indicated that he plans to redistrict in California, a plan he says will “end the Trump presidency.”

Elon makes clear everyday that he doesn’t want a level playing field so he pouts & shouts when he doesn’t get his way. This is not a lawsuit he can win. The case will get tossed for it can’t survive a motion to dismiss IF HE FILES IT! (BTW a really stupid headline!) stocks.apple.com/A-ZRORopiRrq...

The mainstream media is way too silent on Trump‘s enablers, his staff that is cooking up all these weird and radical schemes. For Pete’s sake, Trump doesn’t even know what he might be doing, let alone how to execute these absurd authoritarian ploys. EXPOSE THEM. Some are soluble in sunlight. :-)

Bill Webster was a true American public servant. He gave his life for others, and making America a better place. Nice to see the NYT give him the front page and above the fold today. RIP, Bill. William H. Webster, Who Ran Both the F.B.I. and the C.I.A., Dies at 101 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...

Trump’s use of emergency powers for policy and governing priorities rather than truly unexpected and serious crises is the short road to American autocracy. The GOP Congress will not stop him. Has the US Supreme Court realized that if they don’t, he will likely eliminate their significance as well?

Texas Republicans seek to remove Congressional representation from about half of the state's population. University of Texas / Texas Tribune Poll (April 2023): — 48% of Texans identified as Republican, 43% as Democrats, and 9% as Independents.

Rachel Maddow is the first major media television host who I have heard report: TRUMP IS A DICTATOR and we are living in his dictatorship! It’s true and it’s going to get worse. Americans appear very confused about our government. Otherwise Trump would’ve never been elected. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Absent from the conversation about Trump’s EU tariff deal is the fact that his actions are illegal. Mainstream media is silent on the federal circuit court of appeals hearing on Friday, and the fact they will likely affirm he doesn’t have the power he claims — and beyond the SCOTUS six to help him!

When the Democrats regain control of the White House and the Congress, a first order of business must be to expand the US Supreme Court to 13 justices (one justice for every federal circuit), with all justices subject to term limits. Radical Justices are responsible for…: slate.com/news-and-pol...
