We need all our Congressional representatives to carry ICE whistles and blow them every time an Administration official or Republican colleague lies. Imagine the cacophony!

Where are Republican Congressional leaders during this insanity??? Are they okay with Trump destroying NATO over Greenland??? Are they okay with ICE killing innocent citizens??? The press needs to put them on the record because they own all this too.

If the President were to deploy the 11th Airborne Division to Minnesota to quell ICE protests, it would be an illegal order that they should refuse to obey. When American citizens peacefully protest the lawless actions of the federal government, it is NOT an insurrection.

Trump doesn’t want to release the Epstein files, not only because they document his abuse of children, but because he wants control of information that can be used to blackmail other wealthy and powerful people. When the files are released, he loses his power of extortion.

Just a reminder: the Supreme Court (this one!) has made it clear: impeachment removes ANY “Presidential Immunity “. He may yet rot in jail. Let your congressional representatives know that you DEMAND support of impeachment as the price of your support in the elections this year and in the future.

No one believes that there is an insurrection in Minnesota. There is a process for removing a corrupt and unpopular administration, but it is slow and requires steadfastness. Our efforts and advocacy for the removal of Trump and all empowered Republicans is not an insurrection. It’s a movement!

Legitimate law enforcement officials don’t wear masks (except during pandemics).

Activist citizen groups may terrify the Trump Administration, but that doesn’t make them terrorists; it makes them patriots. The law isn’t what they say it is; it’s what we’ve enacted it to be and it’ll be what we enact it to be in response to their lawlessness. Remove and build back better!

Is there ANYONE who is fooled by the trumped-up investigation into Jerome Powell and the Fed renovation???

Ask google: Which Republicans have called for Noem to resign? That’s the entire list of Republicans who deserve your vote. Remember, a politician who lies to you cannot be trusted with our democracy.

ICE agents should have neither masks nor guns … nor a place in our society. This is not the immigration system overhaul we need. Homeland Security has always been a fascist concept. What we need is improvements to our society not protections for a homeland that excludes people deemed “others”.

This is John Roberts’ fault. It was he, in the presidential immunity decision, who asserted that a President must be empowered to take “bold and unhesitating action” to break the law lest he feel “chilled”. Imagine: a Republican President feeling “chilled”! What a quaint notion!

“The President IN EVERY POSSIBLE INSTANCE shall consult with Congress BEFORE introducing the United States Armed Forces into hostilities…” (USC 50 33.1542). This was a long planned operation, not an emergency situation, and Congress was NOT CONSULTED IN ADVANCE. More Republican lawlessness.

No, the arrest and kidnapping of Maduro was not an act of law - it was an act of war. The act of law for this situation would be extradition (as was achieved with Hernandez - the conviction and now pardoned ex/president of Honduras). The tell: acts of law don’t involve violence.

It’s nice to know that supreme leaders (and even their wives) DON’T have Presidential immunity after all. Noted.

The law protects all property by indicting and prosecuting criminals after the fact. The military is not there to protect domestic property and the existence of vandalism does not justify domestic mobilization of the military unless and until normal law enforcement is unable to prosecute crime.

While I like the Shadow Docket Sunlight Act of 2025, I’d like it to mandate that any decision on the shadow docket which does not include a fulsome explanation must be unanimous. Too many of the decisions this year have been anonymous (perhaps 6-3, perhaps 5-4). We deserve accountability!

Is SCOTUS overrules Humphrey’s Executor, it is saying that the creation of apolitical entities designed to be above partisan rancor is so anathema to the core of our governmental ethos that it should not have happened and that we were wrong to want them. We aren’t free to have such things.

The THIRD failed indictment of Tish James is precisely why the Department of Justice had been so scrupulously apolitical before Trump. When the public begins to believe that prosecutions are selective or vindictive, the fabric of the law is irreparably damaged. @weissmann.substack.com

Mike Johnson asserts that small boat passengers struck with a laser-guided bomb we’re “not injured” (based on his independent medical assessment as the viewer of footage taken from an airplane high above) could be a hypothesis we could test. Would he volunteer to recreate this situation?

When the administration does STRATEGICALLY lawless things (like ‘pardoning’ Tina Peters of STATE crimes) the remedy needs to be more punitive than merely preventing them from working. Too often this is excused as a ‘no harm, no foul’ situation without consequences rather than as a calculated attack.

The Caribbean boat strikes have almost nothing to do about drugs. They are about setting a precedent for Presidential use of the military without legal constraint. They are an assertion that the President may use the military in any way they want. It’s an outgrowth of the Presidential Immunity case.

So, it sounds like the Supreme Court is going to say that if we want non-partisan board of experts insulted from politics that we are not free to create such things. We used to have the power to create them, but now they must all be destroyed because the Presidency needs to be all-powerful.

Alina Habba - the latest mole-victim in Trump’s arcade game: Whack-a-US Attorney. I’m sure there’ll be more pathetically unqualified and incompetent Trump lickspittles popping up soon… Personally, I don’t recall this being a feature in the presidencies of any of the other Presidents in our history.
