With this ruling, the Supreme Court is giving the green light for this Administration to literally #decountrify people. I did not read the arguments, but besides the due process argument, I sure as hell hope the 8th Amendment was brought up.

#AmazingGrace was written by a slaver who eventually realized the error of his ways and became a passionate abolitionist. We can only hope for such a turnaround with this lot.
Otherwise, yeah - it's just more performative BS not unlike wearing a cross necklace at pressers.

A head of state literally fucking Photoshopped images documenting a humanitarian visit by @vanhollen.senate.gov to make it seem like they were having Happy hour.

Heartbroken. Hearing this was not a good end to the night. I will remember these roles the most - Jim Morrison, Chris, Iceman, and my personal favorite Doc Holliday. Nobody who has ever watched Tombstone can deny that he stole every single scene he was in.
You're my huckleberry, Val. Always. 😢😢😢

This is how a sitting US Rep. responded to a foreign journalist trying to ask a valid question.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is truly ugly and venomous. The only thing I feel she actually represents is the worst elements of American bluster that get far too much airplay nowadays.

This new #ExecutiveOrder is not just about disenfranchisement - it threatens birthright citizenship. The order does NOT indicate that birth certificates are among accepted documents to prove citizenship.

Donald, come get your boy Pete. He be drunk-texting again......
But seriously, this level of recklessness is asinine. Have those guys never heard of a SCIF? This definitely merits an investigation.

We face a Constitutional crisis. That's not an overstatement given how this Administration callously disregards basic rights and protections. It happened to #MahmoudKhalil, it happened to #FabianSchmidt, it happened to those accused of involvement with #TrenDeAragua. Who's next?

I'll take "Stuff that didn't happen but I'll make it up to try and score political points" for $200.
Also, who refers to taking a walk with their children to "I was walking my daughter"?
#Vance is an opportunistic liar, and still just plain weird.

Tommy #Tuberville is not only one of the least-intelligent members of Congress, he's also an extraordinarily outlandish liar. What utter BS here. And it's so rooted in paranoia and bigotry.

Hey, if everyone else gets to post their amateur takes on that meeting between #Zelenskyy, Donald, and Vance yesterday, I get to do the same, right?

Besides the condescendingly arrogant tone, consider the body language as well.
1. If you want to openly show disdain towards someone, you don't maintain eye contact. Look at how Donald addresses Zelenskyy.
2. The finger-wagging by both Donald and Vance. Definitely not how to address an ally.

In just a few sentences, we got a clear window into the exact type of toxicity that J.D. #Vance oozes. Listen to the way he addressed #Zelenskyy, and the sheer arrogance behind "You should be thankful" (multiple times). Pretty certain this was orchestrated but he relished the role too much.

The bullshit about Ukraine being the aggressor needs to STOP. This is going to go down as an historically-bad diplomatic moment. And it happened right in the Oval, too.
