Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Powerful example of checks and balances working as federal judges (including one appointed by Trump) effectively ended Lindsay Halligan's unlawful tenure as purported US Attorney. She was Trump's preferred hatchet-person for vindictive prosecutions and is out. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Lindsey Halligan out as U.S. attorney following pressure from judges
Halligan’s departure followed a pair of orders by federal judges in Virginia that sought to replace her and accused her of “masquerading” as U.S. attorney.

If Trump keeps pissing people off, they’re *all* going to dump their bonds and tank our economy.

Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully pretending to be a U.S. attorney from day one. Yet another embarrassment for the Trump DOJ. Good riddance.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.

We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”

And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

What a fucking embarrassment.

Trump says part of the reason he’s pushing for Greenland is that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he doesn’t think “purely of peace”

Looking forward to Mike Johnson not seeing this letter until 2050.

79-year-old felon, Donald Trump, began his press conference by reading aloud to himself from a ‘picture book’.

And then proceeded to give a fully incoherent speech.

Republicans need to stop this crazy old man.

🚨 We need just 23 Republicans to stop this madman from starting a World War. Three in the House and 20 in the Senate to join Democrats and impeach, convict, and remove Donald Trump.

Here are their names. Call them if you are a constituent.

These numbers are a shitshow.

The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it.

That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
