The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

Republicans snuck a provision into the rule for the CR that would preemptively surrender congressional authority to block tariffs.

When House Republicans vote for this rule today, they will also be voting to support Trump's tariffs and all the resulting damage to the US economy

Here's the thread from yesterday. bsky.app/profile/josh...

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier:

“The scene at the White House yesterday took my breath away. I would never have believed that we would ever have to defend Ukraine from the United States.”

Making sure folks realize that Alex Spiro is both Musk’s attorney and Eric Adams’ attorney.

A long time ago, I respected Jim Tressel. www.rooster.info/p/jim-tresse...

While planes crashing over DC sky.

🔥NEVER FORGET: Senators Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee and Rand Paul have wanted for over a decade to RAISE the age of qualifying for Social Security to 70.

🔥This = CUTTING Social Security by 21%!

🔥Social Security is OUR money!

🔥We are being ROBBED & RAIDED! We paid for EVERY single penny!

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

If Fani Willis had a conflict of interest because a man might have paid for a meal, imagine how serious it would be if Supreme Court justices heard cases related to an election their wives had tried to overturn.

Sound about right.

An academic study found that on July 13, 2024 — the day Musk endorsed Trump — there was a systemic change across Twitter resulting in massive increases in reach for Musk and other accounts supporting Trump.

This should be a scandal.

"These cases should go on until the plug is pulled by Trump so he has to take the hit of stopping the prosecutions against him. To cave in advance because of some policy, when these cases against anybody else would proceed to judgment, is abdication of the worst kind," @tribelaw.bsky.social told me.

So the GOP is just currently covering up potential sex crimes against children by one of their members and instead of releasing the report, they are trying to make that person the Attorney General of the United States? Do we have that right?

We’ve been explaining this for a long time now but it appears some folks need it repeated at them: when people have assessed trump is a threat to democracy, they generally do not mean “no election ever again,” they mean he clearly is openly intending to shred the democratic order as we know it…

Trump’s failed Veteran’s program and you know Biden will be blamed.
