At this point if Trump doesn’t blame the coming recession on Obama I’ll be actually disappointed.
The human rights abuses need to be talked about more than Trump’s wardrobe.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

All this talk about “reclassifying” what counts as a profession is a distraction from the real trend..women-dominated fields like nursing, teaching, social work, counseling, PA programs, physical therapy, are losing funding, while male-dominated sectors keep the capital flowing. This is Project 2025

The law is especially difficult to navigate when you don’t know how to follow the rules.
HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

While the legacy media ignored our case, Democracy Docket covered it from gavel to gavel. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This will happen in others as well.
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If Trump uses a legal technicality to continue withholding the Epstein files it might be the biggest political miscalculation in a very, very long time.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

If your city is next, mutual aid and neighborhood watch networks are the most important things to scale up, but whistles are a great tool to get people taking the first step.

Dems negotiated, which was not the best move, but overall this is not bad. For the Senate Dems that’s a win. In 6 months the polling will still show people blame R for shutdown. MTG is going to be up in Johnson’s face for the next 12 months.
Okay, now is the time.

Dems - release the filibuster on the CR, make the GOP pass it (they said they will…) and own the cuts. You stood up, they refused to negotiate.

Cite air traffic as the reason to reopen the government, avoiding chaos in the skies because chaos in Congress is bad enough.

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Wait… is Marjorie Taylor Greene about to become the SPEAKER?

That would be interesting.

She can spare with Trump, and she’s already flipped that switch. She’s completely in revolt.

It would certainly make for a far more interesting midterm.

You’d think at some point, maybe, the Democrats would point out that Trump is hoping to kill Obamacare. The ACA is legacy, it’s the biggest middle finger to Obama he can give.

Barack is gonna put Trump into his grave if he keeps popping up like this. There is only one personality that can compete with Trump in American politics at the moment, and it’s him. And if there is one thing Trump REALLY hates, it’s Barack.
Obama: When he was asked to give the trump administration a grade, he said they deserved an A. These are the same folks who put secret war plans in a group chat. You don't think there's anything they could be doing better? No room for improvement?

The racist/classist language isn’t coded anymore. Just laying it out.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Strategically the Dems should shut down the government. When you’re in a competition you have to maximize your leverage - and use it when you can.

Like the Eagles using the Tush Push, the Dems should use what they have to win.

When they do this after blaming Dems with their full voice for weeks, I will drink a toast.
Trump: it is now time for republicans to eliminate filibuster
