Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

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

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...

Oct. 2021: Even Deborah Birx, who once praised Trump, estimated his admin could have prevented 30-40% of COVID deaths.

He knowingly downplayed Covid, & lied. Americans died. Then they voted for him❓

The choice I have made, as well.
Like others, I fear the threat of government retribution, political vengeance and an angry right-wing mob. But I know that giving into it will only strengthen Trump and undermine the future of our democracy. Trump wants us to be scared. He wants us to give up — gradually and then suddenly.
The Choices I’ve Made
From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

On a totally unrelated note, the Democrats on House Ethics are:

Ranking Member Susan Wild (PA) - (202) 225-6411
Mark DeSaulnier (CA) - (202) 225-2095
Veronica Escobar (TX) - (202) 225-4831
Glenn Ivey (MD) - (202) 225-8699
Deborah Ross (NC) - (202) 225-3032
The House ethics committee doesn't need to "leak" the Gaetz report. Nothing is stopping any member of that committee from invoking parliamentary privilege to read the full report into the Congressional Record.
