Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

The president is using the power of his office to line his own pockets, and doing it in broad daylight too.
This is a five-alarm fire.

This is a personal payday for the President, correct? Based on concerns he might use his official powers to block a business deal. How is this different from extortion?

This is extraordinary. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t know what the right of habeas corpus is (the ancient right to go to court to challenge government detention) and offers an incoherent definition which suggests she thinks it’s a presidential power to deport people?
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect

The US has backed off its war with the Houthis in Yemen after losing two planes (they fell off a ship) and a number of reaper drones, the operation against the Houthis cost US tax payers more than $1 billion, gave little to no results.

For fuck's sake.
This program has been remarkably successful, reducing the incidence of SIDS by 70% since 1990.
Anyway, the US is not a democracy. Nor will it be a functioning first world nation in the next couple of years as the effects of things like this are felt.

Just before 1 a.m., #SCOTUS stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation with a (remarkable) ruling that suggests, among other things, that a majority of the justices is tiring of the Trump administration’s Calvinball.

144. The Supreme Court's Late-Night Alien Enemy Act Intervention
Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

The corruption show keeps adding episodes....
1. Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, announced an audacious scheme yesterday to profit from Trump's tariffs
Truth Social will offer actively-managed INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS composed of stocks in companies who benefit from Trump's policies
It's a jaw-dropping conflict of interest

yall we can’t collectively screech that “no one’s doing anything!” and then say “no not like that” when someone actually does something.
is Booker’s filibuster gonna save the world? of course not. but since courage begets courage it could lead to more. I’m fucking cynical as hell but come on.

As people of faith, we must defend migrants and refugees at a time when the state is increasingly moving to dehumanize them.

I went to public school in a economically poor district. Many of my classmates only reliable meals were furnished in school. But the billionaires need their tax cuts.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.
