Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

The Trump administration has removed a picture of Harriet Tubman from the National Park Service page on the Underground Railroad, changed the words “enslaved African Americans” to “enslaved workers” and removed a section that discussed Benjamin Franklin being a slave owner.

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

We must get rid of Schumer. It is time.
Nancy stepped aside when her time came. Joe stepped aside but made the decision too late in the game. But it seems that Schumer is stubbornly going to hang on no matter what, and what the base wants doesn’t seem to matter a whole lot.

Cory Booker on the Senate floor: “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able. Our constituents are asking us to acknowledge that this is a crisis. So I am going to stand here until I no longer can.”

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:

“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

Cory Booker just lit up the Senate floor with a marathon protest speech against Trump’s actions, vowing to speak “as long as I am physically able.”
This isn’t a filibuster—it’s a righteous stand for democracy in a time of crisis.
Keep going, Senator. 🔥🔥🔥
