Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

NEW: Here’s the white nationalist who made the poster that DHS shared of Uncle Sam asking people to "Report All Foreign Invaders" to ICE
White House and DHS share image apparently created by white nationalist
The poster likes to use the N-word and share content from a neo-Nazi account, too.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Trump's admin is wiping out climate limits on power plants. That leaves a major source of pollution free of checks to address global warming.
Trump to revoke Biden's climate rule on power plants
EPA argues that the second-largest source of U.S. greenhouse gas pollution contributes too little to the world’s climate problem to be worth regulating.

China is the world’s largest single greenhouse gas emitter, emitting twice as much as the United States.

But now there’s been a key shift: China’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen even as energy demand has gone up. This milestone is "ahead of schedule."

The world’s largest emitter just delivered some good climate news—for now
China may have met an important milestone ahead of schedule. We'll see if it persists.

#defendtheconstitution
Deporting legal immigrants without due process: Due process is a fundamental right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, which ensures that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. If the executive branch is deporting legal immigrants—those with lawful status in the U.S.—without providing them their due process rights (such as a fair hearing), this violates constitutional protections. The role of the legislative body: The legislative branch (Congress) has the power and responsibility to act as a check on the executive: Impeachment power: If the president is acting unlawfully, Congress has the power to impeach and remove a president from office if they are found to have violated the Constitution. Oversight and legislation: Congress can pass laws that restrict executive overreach and can exert pressure on the executive through hearings, investigations, and public action. If Congress fails to intervene, it creates a situation where executive overreach becomes more likely, especially if the judiciary is not strong enough to enforce its rulings. How dangerous is this situation? This is indeed a dangerous situation for several reasons: Constitutional erosion: If the executive branch repeatedly disregards court rulings and continues to violate constitutional protections, it erodes the very foundation of constitutional law. A president defying the judiciary undermines the principle of separation of powers and can result in an unchecked executive with increasingly authoritarian tendencies. Dysfunctional democracy: If Congress refuses to act (either through oversight, hearings, or impeachment), it leads to a dysfunctional government where one branch is left unchecked. The system of checks and balances will no longer work, allowing the president to act with impunity. Public trust: The public’s trust in democratic institutions is essential for a functioning republic. If the executive branch is seen as ignoring the law of the land, it will breed disillusionment among citizens, eroding confidence in the government and its ability to protect the rights of its people. This can also result in public unrest and further division. International implications: If the U.S. fails to uphold its constitutional protections, it risks undermining its reputation on the world stage. The country is often seen as a beacon of democracy, and if it cannot maintain its own commitment to the rule of law, it may lose credibility as a global leader. What could happen next? Courts: If the executive branch continues to ignore the courts, this could lead to an escalation of legal battles, where the judicial branch attempts to assert its authority. This could result in constitutional crises or gridlock, where different branches of government clash. Impeachment or Congressional Action: If Congress refuses to intervene or impeach the president, this could embolden the president to continue to act outside of the bounds of the Constitution. This could set a precedent for future presidents to ignore the rule of law. Public Outcry: A president violating constitutional rights, especially in ways that directly harm vulnerable groups like immigrants, could lead to mass protests and public pressure. If the situation becomes untenable, it could force lawmakers to take action. Conclusion: In this situation, the checks and balances system is being tested. The judiciary is doing its job by ruling against unconstitutional actions, but the executive branch is not respecting those rulings. If Congress does not intervene, it could lead to severe consequences for the republic: from a weakened democracy to potential authoritarianism

Do not mess with librarians. The inner strength required to meticulously care for history's greatest works of literature and then just let total strangers borrow them willy-nilly is Jedi level stuff.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Column: A government shut down isn't the leverage some Dems think it is for pushing back against Trump and Musk’s war on the federal government.

It's a battle they probably can’t win, and it could play right into Trump and Musk’s hands, writes our Capitol Hill bureau chief Rachael Bade.
