What American national interest is advanced by recognizing Crimea as part of Russia? The downsides are clear to me: reputational hit to the US in the world; Legitimizes use of force for annexation; Fosters division among our allies & within American society; alienates Ukrainians

I am still amazed they let people this dumb on television.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

In fact, the 2020 election was not "rigged and stolen," as Trump's own attorney general and other advisers told him at the time. But Trump is now indicating that to say that may be illegal and cause for a Justice Department investigation.
Trump's order to the Justice Department to investigate Chris Krebs identifies as one of his supposed offenses that he "falsely and baselessly denied that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen."

On a daily basis, I marvel at how many people in putative positions of power are willing to help obliterate American democracy. The US has faced a series of very easy moral tests in the past decade and it’s staggering how often people in once-respected positions have failed.

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.

@normeisen.bsky.social, @weissmann11.bsky.social, and @marcelias.bsky.social must be doing something right to get under Trump’s skin. I am proud to know them all. They each have more integrity and legal talent in their fingernails than all of Trump’s doj appointees put together.

In signed decisions in orally argued cases in which the US, an agency or the president were a party, Trump in his first term prevailed at the Supreme Court just 42% of the time, the lowest rate since at least FDR. Biden by contrast was on winning side 54% of the time.
Eyes are turning to Justice Barrett as she positions herself as the only Trump appointee on the high court willing to challenge some of his norm-busting moves. @adamliptak.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/u...
Justice Barrett May Have the Crucial Vote in Trump Cases
She was the only member of the court appointed by the president to vote against his emergency request to freeze foreign aid.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
