It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

South Floridians from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela expecting to become U.S. citizens this week learned instead that their naturalization ceremonies had been canceled after the Trump administration issued a sweeping directive aimed at halting immigration from so-called high-risk countries.

The cancellations, confirmed by multiple immigration attorneys, came after the Trump administration paused immigration from 19 nations and froze all asylum claims.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

Russia is abducting Ukrainian children and ripping them from their families. They must be released immediately and not be used as bargaining chips in negotiations.

That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation with Senators Graham, Blumenthal and Britt to help Ukraine bring these kids home.

This is the guy who negotiated a corrupt quid pro quo with Eric Adams and forced the resignation of the lawyers who protested. He is a criminal and has demonstrably shown he has no concern for the rule of law, and will break any rule to advance Trump. Installing him to the judiciary is a crisis.
