John Roberts and his miserable excuse for a high court of justice are presiding over a great disassembling of the United States and the rare American experiment in government by its people. It began with Citizens United and it continues relentlessly. This is a second civil war in slow motion.

Being a lawyer right now is weird because you're sitting waiting multiple years for an Appellate Court to rule on basic shit, meanwhile SCOTUS rules every ten seconds that a different precedent doesn't mean what it very clearly says

"The irreversible gravity of killing, coupled with the lack of a substantive legal justification, is bringing into sharper view a structural weakness of law as a check on the American presidency." { gift link } www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

“.. The US now doles out nearly $200 billion in direct subsidies for favored businesses each year, and the president has imposed an expansive tariff regime, which will likely invite corruption, waste tax dollars, and sap ambition.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Agree 💯 With Bernie.......

I am proud to have publicly spoken for this article, along with others like @weissmann.substack.com I am disappointed in those who think keeping quiet will save them. It will not.

The German government will cover salaries for 12,000 local workers employed by the US army in Germany amid the ongoing US government shutdown.

This is the clearest way to explain it.

He’s destroying… The Constitution Due Process Public Safety Free Speech/Press The Economy Small businesses Farms Jobs Healthcare Women’s access to safe healthcare ACA Subsidies Medicaid/Medicare SNAP/Food access programs for children/elderly Voting Rights Our military …And the actual White House

He’s going all the way Putin

🧵Please, please remember-- Even though the US is currently buying pesos, Argentina is supposed to repay the “swap line” borrowing with dollars at the current exchange rate, so US taxpayers won’t lose from a devaluation. But it's our taxpayer $$ at risk & the Argentine peso now at an all-time low.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Abolish

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

EXCLUSIVE: Senator Elizabeth Warren is now probing the United States Treasury Department over alleged United States purchases of Argentine pesos during the massive bailout. This is big news. meidasnews.com/news/warren-...

Mamdani hasn’t been elected yet and he’s already driving criminals out of New York.

He gave $40B to a foreign dictator, millions for Noem’s jets, he’s trashing the White House for a ballroom and we’re just trying to survive. There should’ve been more than 7 million in the streets on No Kings Day. Come at me but you know I’m right.

A picture is worth 1,000 words.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

as far as just messaging goes that video is probably the most embarrassing thing any president has done on the world stage in my life and the fact that the sunday shows wont even describe it? total abdication of their responsibility

For What Chump is Doing to Immigrants and American Citizens

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Clear and petty tyrant behavior on full display

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

No King's Day! Here we go!! 🗽⚖️🇺🇸

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

"God killed that fireman in Butler, PA, but He saved my life so I could trick you into sending me more money and buying even more expensive Trump-branded tacky crap I have made for pennies in China. Glory! (To me.)"

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent letters to four of the nation's largest banks demanding information related to "more than $1.5 billion in suspicious financial transactions flagged by the banks tied to sex trafficking crimes committed by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their co-conspirators."

"The most popular economic policies are bold, tangible, and grounded in fairness — and can unite voters across class and partisan lines. Across twenty-five ranked proposals, policies that reduced costs, curbed corporate abuse, and held elites accountable consistently performed best."

One thing @govpritzker.illinois.gov does here, which WE ALL need to do more often, is lead with Trump's crimes. A sex assaulted fraudster serial felon who freed HUNDREDS of cop assailants--and some terrorists--on his first day is trying to claim Democrats are criminals.
