This is not a thorny issue. This is not fraught. It is extrajudicial killing. It is the killing of civilians under any standard of law. He killed them on the basis of his-say so that they are drug smugglers, mere criminals. It was premeditated. And he's saying he's going to do it again and again.
Americans don’t wear this helmet.
... Her final words seem to be a gutsy challenge to SCOTUS itself: “Now it is the job of courts to ... step up, to ... safeguard academic freedom and freedom of speech as required by the Constitution ... .” /7-end
This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...
Totally insane and wildly dangerous. Children will die, and Florida will export communicable diseases to the rest of the country and the world.
Unprecedented corruption - 1500x what Hunter Biden made from his paintings and going directly to the president.
Authoritarians who unwind democracy are similar in one respect. They seek to take control of centers of power and dissent in society. Call it the authoritarian checklist. Trump’s second term is best understood by his systemic checking off of this checklist. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...
Shuler: This is the choice working Americans have been given: chaos, or the same broken status quo. We wanted cheaper groceries—and we got tanks in our streets. We wanted affordable health care—and instead, 16 million Americans are about to be kicked off their coverage
Felon convicted on 34 counts says what?
Trump: “They say, ‘We don't need him, freedom freedom. He's a dictator. He's a dictator.’ A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we like a dictator’…You send in troops, and instead of being praised they're saying you're trying to take over the republic. These people are sick.”
Under DC MR 3.1, any lawyer signing such a lawsuit shall be fired into the sun.
Yeah, glad we negotiated with the Nazis, Imperial Japan and the Confederacy. Oh, wait......
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
Mike Fanone: " I worked alongside federal partners as a D.C. Metropolitan Police officer. There is a place for that. That place is not having roving bands of officers in tactical gear aimlessly walking around Georgetown creating the optics of an occupying force."
Then again, Giuliani’s face melted on live TV. Maybe it’s the same maga makeup clown.

Invite every news crew and Congressperson in CA to join you for the second visit.
Refuse to leave. Get caught trying.
That Dems have not already held a massive protest in DC against this occupation and for #DCStatehood is how you know they suck at politics
It’s “pro rege.” For the king.
Ah, yes. The famous Chinese cultural exception to bribery of a public official. Get wrecked.
Disbar this asshat yesterday.
This sort of admission—the VP is involved in prosecutorial decisions, the "concerns" arise from political actors, and the administration knows they don't have probable cause—would have prompted the Founders to impeach everyone involved.
How many flag burners equals one pardoned #J6 insurrectionist?
What Danielle said. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2% Let me put that another way. President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%
OMG! Maybe he will discover evidence of a child sex trafficking ring led by his best friend
It doesn’t have to be martial law to be deeply fucked up.
Oh, brother.
Remarkable open letter from Bill Burns. "If intelligence analysts at the CIA saw our rivals engage in this kind of great-power suicide, we would break out the bourbon. Instead, the sound we hear is of champagne glasses clinking in the Kremlin and Zhongnanhai." theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
Every American has a connection to the nations capitol. It’s kind of the whole point of having one in a democracy.
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --“ Decl. Of Independence. #dcstatehood now
People are STILL minimizing b/c the worst hasn't happened. Sure, DC now has military checkpoints, but isn't crime bad there? Sure, people are being dragged away by goon squads, but aren't they mostly illegal? Sure, universities and the media are being strong-armed, but aren't they too liberal?

California Deputy AG Strong says the proper standard is with a "bad purpose." She notes law enforcement was instructed to substitute "security" — barred under the PCA — with "protection," an undefined word. "It simply shows they knew it was unlawful."

Abuses of power require impeachment. We would like to change your position to 'for impeachment' in our tracker, Rep. Scanlon @scanlon.house.gov. citizensimpeachment.com/tracker/
No law gives potus this power. #impeachment is the only remedy for a lawless president.

If Dems had gotten #statehood done under Obama, MAGA would not control the Senate. The fuck are we waiting for?
You spelled #impeachment wrong.
Vichy Democrats need to resign or get the fuck out of the way
Has any democrat leader called for #statehood this week?
Quite right. We deserve to know why Acosta gave Epstein such a sweetheart deal.
Live video of #potus violating the #duecare clause. #impeachconvictremove
The crime is that King Trump has deployed his red coats into the capital at all, not that he’s being stupid about it. #stayontarget
Donald Trump complaining about violent crime in DC is rich.
No law gives POTUS authority do this. #impeachment is the only remedy for a lawless president.
Adams also denounces RFK Jr. for cutting off research on mRNA. "If we did not have mRNA vaccines" during Covid, "it would have taken at least 18 to 24 additional months to get a vaccine." "At least 2 million lives were saved," and maybe "up to 20 million lives were saved, because of the vaccines."
You misspelled #impeachment
You spelled #impeachment wrong.
His goal is dealing a fatal blow to #ruleoflaw by not being #impeached So far, it’s working.
Any “concessions” will violate U.N. Charter. Also, Ukraine is not part of this negotiation, so it is meaningless.
You spelled #impeachment wrong.
#impeachment is the only remedy for a lawless president.
So @democrats.org are all in on #singlepayer? Or are we still pretending to “reform” what can’t be fixed?
Thankfully, Ed Martin is incompetent and will cock this up in no time.
President has no authority to impose such conditions on grants. Another reason to #impeach.
#Watergate
In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this. Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
“Defend your culture” is the laziest dogwhistle I’ve ever seen.
Why the FUQ isn’t #dcstatehood mentioned every day by elected dems?
a) The president can't unilaterally federalize DC; Congress would need to repeal the Home Rule Act. Have fun trying to convince the parliamentarian that this doesn't actually require 60 votes in the Senate b) Statehood please
#Bondi should be #impeached for directing a prosecutor to present a non-crime conspiracy theory where all relevant conduct is beyond SoL.
How many Elons is $4.1 Trillion?
This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back. If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism. apnews.com/article/ap-p...
Republican voters really are dumb enough to fall for any old bullshit.
Marc Elias, one of the Democratic Party’s most prominent lawyers, welcomed any converts to his brand of brass-knuckle politics. “I do not believe, when it comes to elections, that Democrats should ever engage in any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith,” Mr. Elias said.
Dear @schiff.senate.gov - today is a good day to call for #impeachment as your oath demands.
And we’re allowed to impeach you.
With each accommodation this administration makes for Ghislaine Maxwell, it retraumatizes the victims and minimizes the harm she caused. And we're supposed to believe that these are the people who are super concerned with pedophelia and sex trafficking? Are MAGA supporters still buying this shit?
I'll vote for a Democrat who vows to investigate any Trump nominee who lied under oath during a confirmation hearing. If a judge, to seek impeachment
Worth remembering: The Constitution explicitly gives the power to set tariffs to Congress. They could stop this nonsense by the end of the day.
🤮
Not impeaching = bending the knee.
Who are the 2 cowards that did not recommend disbarment?
Great. Also, WTF took so long????
Big picture: This has significant implications for US government attorneys who risk their bar licenses by engaging in clearly illegal and unethical conduct. D.C. Bar Board of Professional Responsibility recommends DISBARMENT for Jeffrey Clark s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26... Read this line:
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.
Anti Impoundment Act has been violated even if the funds are being disbursed (as required by law and Article 1).
“There is no investigation because an investigation requires a criminal predicate, some actual reason to think someone has violated the law…” Benjamin Wittes on DOJ’s purported “investigation” of former President Obama and others over 2016 Russia probe: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...
But Abbott and Trump don’t hold all the cards. There are 15 Democratic trifecta states, many with large congressional delegations like New York, California, Illinois, and New Jersey. We call on every Democratic trifecta state to move forward with their own plans for a mid-decade redistricting plan.
It’s really too bad that it was illegal for Democrats or the media to take notice of Donald Trump’s extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein until 16 days ago.
Are Bivens Actions against ICE still a thing? Or did SCOTUS amend the 4th Amendment there too?

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.
