A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Come on, @nytimes.com. There is a massive scandal brewing that Russia authored the purported American "peace" plan and *these* are your headlines on what is happening?

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits

"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

Let's blow up another country so John Q. Public won't think about Epstein for a little while!
emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget.
The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Newsom: They want to bring us back to a pre-1960s, maybe 1860s world. And you’re seeing it not just on voting rights—you’re seeing it on civil rights, on women’s rights, on LGBTQ rights. They’re censoring historic facts. They’re on a banning binge—Bud Light and Big Bird

Donald, if SNAP recipients promise to only buy bread, milk, and hamburger, will you continue their benefits?

If they promise to be miserable?

I know how it pains you to hear they sometimes eat cookies or chips, or feast on a pork chop, or splurge on raisin bread, so would this please you?

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.
