It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

It’s almost like Republicans simply don’t care. They are inhumanely cruel.
Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

I think we must admit that Silicon Valley wasn’t taking as a threat seriously enough ,only a tool for financial donations disregarding that these companies fundamentally have only their best interests in mind. Even if they know it facilitates violence and the destruction of political Institutions.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.
So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.
So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

NEW STATEMENT FROM CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS:
"For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose."

to me the most disturbing fact about DOGE’s raid on the US Institute of Peace is that the local cops helped them.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse.
Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

I think this idea has been incredibly harmful in recognizing the efficiency of harms perpetuated by social media, writing something on this atm.
I think the years of people saying and believing the internet “isn’t real life” have contributed to why people are so clueless about things happening outside their immediate observable vicinity. Because their primary way of finding out about it is online but they don’t navigate it like a reality

UPDATE: A federal judge broadened the scope of an earlier temporary restraining order, blocking Trump from deporting anyone under the Alien Enemies Act while the case proceeds.
Flights carrying Venezuelan immigrants the DHS attempted to deport were ordered to turn around and return to the U.S.

If you saw video from the Edwards (R) town hall in North Carolina, you’re wondering as I am how much longer this can go on without devolving into general chaos.
This fascistic, sociopathic administration is not going to stop running America into the ground—but Americans won’t put up with much more.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

It is another to hand it to him.
