The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them.
There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It's telling that Canada started protesting the incredibly dangerous and irresponsible Donald Trump by pulling American products off its shelves before one American foot hit a street in protest.
We are lagging behind in our response to fascism-by-the- stupid and need to step up our game.

Kinzinger: Zelenskyy had an opportunity to flee Ukraine when Russia attacked and he stayed. Is there anybody that has any doubt about whether Trump would flee the country if we were attacked.
