Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit.

ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

@ngertner.bsky.social, a retired federal judge, criticizes Republican attacks on the judiciary and attempts by the Trump administration to ignore legal orders: "Courts are supposed to say what is constitutional and what the law is, and the executive is to follow."

UPDATE: We have now sent over 20,000 emails to Senate Democrats considering voting for Trump's CR.

We're telling them to vote NO on both cloture and final passage.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.

Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.
Full Stop
Democrats must do everything they can to end this coup

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass
