"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Trump’s bigoted ban on patriotic transgender Americans serving in our military impacts all of our freedoms. If Trump can use the government to discriminate against one community he can do it to any community—unless we fight back now.

China denies any negotiations with the US. The US must drop all tariffs to initiate talks. "Any claims about the progress of China-US trade negotiations are groundless and have no factual basis." Trump claims “They had a meeting this morning, but he won't reveal who 'they' are."

French President Emmanuel Macron said today that Vladimir Putin is “lying” about his desire to peacefully end the war in Ukraine, pointing to the Kremlin’s massive attack on Kyiv earlier in the day that left at least eight people dead.
Trump should direct anger at Putin, who ‘must stop lying’ about Ukraine, Macron says
The French president’s impassioned plea came during a conversation with reporters while in Madagascar.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Domestic weapons production provides Ukraine with greater security independence during the ongoing war with Russia.

This is remarkable. I would personally rather travel to China than the US, which is a startling fact given that Australia has been a close ally of the US for decades.
Just don't risk it. Don't go.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted:

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
