If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Yes, businesses absolutely need to show the tariff at the checkout screen. Don't hide it into the cost of the product.

Ignore the third term talk - it’s meant to distract you, and it’s working.

Are the Dems doing anything with this incomparable scandal they've been handed, gift-wrapped on a silver platter and served by the angels themselves, besides getting slightly testy in hearings?

If I could speak to the heads of big law firms, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some clients worth betraying your oath to the rule of law?

To everyone nodding but refusing to take a stand, I say: You are ignoring Martin Niemöller’s message. It is you that Martin Luther King Jr. was condemning.

So when exactly does the $tsla board demand musk step down? The stock is down over 37% in the last month. Would ANY other board tolerate this?

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

This right here. If you’re gonna go it alone, you better have enough votes. Don’t ask the side you crapped on and made fun of to bail you out. Clowns.
GOVERNING is negotiating with the other side when you need 60 votes and you only have 53.

Refusing to negotiate when you don’t have the votes is incompetence.

That is why Republicans can’t govern.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

I’ve been using this quote related to maga for almost a decade now. Glad to see it’s out there and getting traction.

May be too late, but I’m glad it’s getting noticed.
@johnjharwood.bsky.social points out that LBJ in 1965 foreshadowed Trump/Musk in 2025:

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice that you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, he'll empty his pockets for you.”
Republican Lawmakers Are Cowards. Here's Why
The moral and intellectual collapse of the Republican Party is the gaping chest wound of America.

So what is president shoulder pads going to eat if fast food is “made healthy?” Does McDonald’s get a carve out?

Well that’s lovely.
The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

Hearing a man that hasn’t read the Bible and that can barely read spout on about religious liberty and all of this shit that is meant to mask and excuse the efforts of the Christo-fascists makes me want to vomit.

Do you know how to tell being in Congress is an amazing gig? Seeing the number of people that are voting against their long-stated beliefs AND voting against America’s best interests in favor of the world’s dumbest fascist.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social so glad you all went down, kissed the ring and told us we needed to be fair about Trump.

Well you were completely and totally wrong. Don’t come now with your “oh, this is bad” takes.

The largest prison in the US (Angola in La) houses 6300 inmates and 1800 staff. Drumpf’s Gitmo idea will house 5x that many inmates. Angola is 28 sq miles. Gitmo is 42 sq miles.

Betting this is will be another crash and burn for any number of reasons.

The Teamsters have endorsed Democrats for president since '96. And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?

It’s only been 9 days. Can’t believe we might see this for up to four years.
Trump says he ordered the military to go into CA last night to “turn on the water.” CA responds.

Hearing James Lankford say with a straight face that we are “a nation of laws” is remarkable given who he’s supporting as his boss.
