When the Democrats regain control of the White House and the Congress, a first order of business must be to expand the US Supreme Court to 13 justices (one justice for every federal circuit), with all justices subject to term limits. Radical Justices are responsible for…:

Absent from the conversation about Trump’s EU tariff deal is the fact that his actions are illegal. Mainstream media is silent on the federal circuit court of appeals hearing on Friday, and the fact they will likely affirm he doesn’t have the power he claims — and beyond the SCOTUS six to help him!

Rachel Maddow is the first major media television host who I have heard report: TRUMP IS A DICTATOR and we are living in his dictatorship! It’s true and it’s going to get worse. Americans appear very confused about our government. Otherwise Trump would’ve never been elected. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

60 years ago today, the signing of the Voting Rights Act ensured representation for every community in the nation.

Trump is attempting to violate that law now to roll back our progress.

This isn't just about Texas – this is about America.

I'm proud to stand for our democracy.

The author of an excellent piece in The Atlantic summarizes how Hitler demolished German democracy. He didn’t do it by force. The GOP seems to understand how this process works and they want it to happen in the USA. This is why they are avoiding town halls!

"It's so bizarre to me how obsessed you are with the federal government," sneered the woman to the people who elected her to be their voice in the federal government.
Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.

She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.

“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”

Watch to the end…

Trump is losing. Federal judges are ruling based on law and not politics, as evidenced by case after case after case:
1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Pure Trump baloney! LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W. Bush, Obama, and Biden all used auto pens based on legal opinions from the office of legal counsel of the justice department. If Trump never used one, it would be amazing, totally inefficient!

The use of the autopen, a device that reproduces signatures and is ubiquitous in government and business, is ordinarily uncontroversial. There is no power to undo a pardon in the Constitution or case ...

It happens when Trump and Elon illegally gut all the departments and agencies and these organizations simply don’t work? Judges could impose on them to return the agency to its status before their illegal ransacking. In fact, this repair work could occupy much of the Trump presidency! FIX IT! :-)
