There are ample professional disincentives to spilling the inner workings of a court; even misconduct is rarely disclosed.
Only reason to demand NDAs is if the Justices are engaging in conduct so egregious that the legal profession would recognize the need for court employees to disclose it.

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s plans to interfere in the midterms are becoming more dangerous
The seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia follows the DOJ’s demands for voter data in Minnesota.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

FYI this is part of the assault on Minnesota. FinCEN has issued a Geographic Targeting Order for Hennepin & Ramsey counties imposing additional reporting orders on banks and financial services.
Federal outlays in 2025 exceeded those in 2024. This, like DOGE, is all pretext. Negative savings.

When Democratic Senators repeatedly vote to confirm Trump’s Cabinet picks, they are telling you that they do not care about our democracy or their constituents.
They are on the side of the wealthy corporations & the pedophiles who are destroying our country.
Vote accordingly.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.
He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
