"When I was in that internment camp in the Everglades, I didn't see any Europeans who overstayed their visa. I saw nothing but Latino men and Haitian men. And as we look at these operations..., they are targeting specific types of people. And it's the type of people that look like me."

"Rosie O’Donnell made a powerful moral critique of Trump, and as that critique was bearing out, he responded to it by asserting to have power over her, power he doesn’t have."

But did you hear anything about that? All the press fixated on was Trump's distraction.

Orbán tried to ban Pride in Budapest.

The Project 2025 playbook has been field tested. And, now, so has the way to resist it.

Turning deception into defections. We can try to punish Trump voters. But we'll never be as good at it as Donald Trump.

If the Republicans on the Supreme Court have you feeling a little hopeless, here's some inspiration. There are millions of us. But we need millions more.

Meta will pocket $15 billion from one new tax break in Trump's budget.

"By the way, that is more than the federal government spends annually on childcare."

One of the most frequently misrepresented federal statutes—often falsely used to justify unconstitutional presidential war powers—is the War Powers Resolution (or Act) (50 U.S.C. §§ 1541-1550). If only more people would read it. Contrary to what you may have heard about the War Powers Resolution, it does not allow the president to take military action for any reason for 60-90 days without congressional approval so long as the president notifies Congress within 48 hours. Section 1541(c) of the War Powers Resolution states clearly: "The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces." Of the three cited authorities, not one indicates a presidential power to take unilateral (without Congress's approval) offensive military action. The first two authorities allow the president to take offensive military action but only with Congress's express approval (Article I of the Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war). The third authority allows the president to take defensive military action without Congress's approval in the event of a specific type of national emergency, a sudden unforeseen attack on the United States (happening too quickly for Congress to meet) necessitating immediate action to protect Americans. It's for this last situation (or for situations in which the president introduces forces into hostilities unlawfully) that the War Powers Resolution provides for the oft-mentioned 48-hour report to Congress (§ 1543) and 60-day (up to 90-day) timeline (§ 1544). If there's an attack in progress on the United States (i.e., currently happening), we expec…

Has Elon eaten your brain? Let's see.

Ask yourself a simple question:
Who won the 2020 election?

If your analysis of politics ignores that Democrats won when the "left" was at its Twitter peak, & we saw the most protests in US history, stuff huffing Elon's fumes.

We don’t want him on Bluesky. But Josh Barro should get his ass off Twitter. He should do it, even though it would hurt his business of selling “sensible” advice for Democrats to people who want Democrats to lose. Earlier this week, Josh got the bi-monthly memo that it’s time to attack the microblogging platform where tens of millions have flocked to avoid Elon Musk. He says it’s good for the Democratic Party that Democratic politicians are now spared the opinions of “most neurotic and censorious liberal influencers.” (It’s me. Hi!) And then he makes the classic error that indicates Elon has broken your brain: Josh forgets who won the 2020 election by seven million votes. He does this when he asks, “But was that actually ever good for liberal causes?”
