For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

Reminder that nonconsensual sex is a crime. A 15-year-old is not an adult. Megan Kelly should be shunned.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Our enemies are definitely laughing.
Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Where the hell is Democratic Leadership? What an absolute disgrace that performance was.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Catching up on a few things I haven’t had a chance to clip yet — did you know Poilievre, speaking in French, called UNWRA terrorists and said he’d stop giving any funding to them????

Absolutely horrifying position given UNWRA’s integral role in providing humanitarian aid to the region.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Donald Trump thought Canada was an easy mark.
But we come from a long line of fascist fighters.
Canada will not break. We will not bend. We will not kiss the gangster ring.

Since Jan 6 our world has turned upside down.
Canada is under threat like never before.
There are still 8 months left in this parliament.
We can put aside our fights and come together for Canada.
These are my thoughts on how normal politics is no more.

Perplexed is an understatement to describe how Canadians are feeling right now. Dual citizen living in Canada. As a Canadian, it feels like a deep & irrevocable betrayal, a reckoning that we can no longer trust our closest allies. As an American, I feel nothing but sadness & shame.
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.
