Art. I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to make rules and regulations for the armed forces — including codes of discipline and strictures against following illegal orders. You can’t punish members of Congress for articulating those rules. Also protected by Speech and Debate Clause.

They’re not going after criminals. “Criminals don’t get up and go to work and pay their bills.”
These are not criminals; they’re hard-working people.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.
But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

This isn’t about accuracy. It’s about erasure.
The census isn’t just about political representation. It decides who gets funded and who gets ignored.
This move will starve communities of color of federal money for healthcare, education, disaster relief, and emergency response.

Screaming into the void here: found my neighbor dead (gun suicide) in his front yard this morning. Horrifying, traumatizing of course. But more importantly, I hate that this person felt so bad that this became his choice.

If you want to know why white conservative men are always pointing at others and accusing them of crimes, it’s because white conservative men are trying to take attention off of themselves.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage.
Just do it.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis.
Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.
