“This president believes he’s above the law. He doesn’t believe the law applies to him. He doesn’t believe the Constitution applies to him, and if we act like that’s normal, we just encourage the continued illegal constitutional behavior," said Murphy.
maybe beg some of the more decent folks that are left on the right to join the fight.
SCOTUS created this monster.
Why are we acting like this is some new phenomenon about the GOP? They’ve been this way for years.
This is what happens when a country elects a man whose sole purpose for getting elected is to stay out of jail as his historic crimes gather around him. The danger is that, like a wounded animal, he will do anything to stay free. Even pressing the button.
I suggest arresting people for breaking the law. It's proven very effective in many countries.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social If the Senate Dems don’t take a strong stand with the Continuing Resolution, you guys are only enabling him. The vote in March set us back.
But Coney Barrett says we’re not in a constitutional crisis yet. Her bar must be very low.
Congress has surrendered and America is surrounded with troops. I fear social media posts aren’t enough.
This is the fundamental problem, practically and ideologically. Unfortunately, too many people’s response is eyes glazed over.
And the corrupt supreme court supports this. We are screwed.
Well the SCOTUS is letting him. Do we have a cabal running government right now. Maybe not so secret now, but it sure as he11 was when it was set up. Thanks ALL Republicans who were a part of this. Mitch, top of the list.
Unfortunately, SCOTUS majority agrees with the executive.
I wish I knew someone who could take care of that.
Unfortunately, a little more than half of Congress now believe the same things and will believe anything else trump tells them.
There is no doubt that the law does not apply to him especially because the Supreme Court rubber stamps every darned thing he and his administration does without any
He is above the law. Or he'd be in prison already for his multitude of crimes. Thanks Merrick Garland! You shot America in the head!
8647 as soon as possible. Electing Democratic majorities in the House and Senate is a good start toward 8647.
Democratic majorities are not enough. Not if they're like Schumer and Jeffries, spineless slugs. Elect democrats who will put themselves on the line or don't bother.
And, unfortunately, it seems the Republican appointed SCOTUS Justices are validating his lawlessness. It is beyond bizarre.
John Roberts would disagree with you on that being any problem at all. And let's be clear, his entire cabinet, over half of Congress, every GOP governor, and an untold number of CEO's also say this new normal is just fine with them. They could change it if they disagreed with it.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social please get your Senate colleagues to wake up & act ! This is not only abnormal, it’s a coup! This has got to be taken seriously & our representatives must fight back! Our country is at stake!! Get w your colleague Ron Wyden & help him follow the $$$!
When are Congressional Democrats going to act like an opposition party? Is maintaining "friends across the aisle" more important than representing their constituents?
And now SCOTUS sanctions racial profiling. How do we stop what all three branches are instigating? We need our state to step up to protect us from the federal government.
Track and follow ICE. Tow their vehicles. Arrest them when they commit crimes. Fund a state militia.
Tell that to the un supreme court
It's not just Trump. General aspect of right wing is: laws don't matter. What you can get away with is all that matters.
PLEASE!! - stop giving NY Times any exposure. They helped get Trump elected.
And the John Roberts PAC (aka #SCOTUS ) seems to agree with him. 🤨🤬🤬
Y’all are just discovering this? He is above the law right now bc NO ONE is holding him accountable!
The Supreme Court is allowing Trump & his admin to do whatever they want…what can we do?? I’ve been trying to stay informed but I get so upset that some days I stay away from the news.
People are used to politicians seeing how close to the line they can get without stepping over it. Trump intentionally crosses the line and tries to see how far over the line he can get before anyone stops him. He is uniquely dangerous
So what are you, as a senator and a part of a coequal branch of government, going to do about it?
The problem is SCOTUS agrees with him on all points.
Then don't supply one Democratic vote, not one, in either the House or the Senate to pass any continuing resolution (CR) or GOP budget to fund the government. People elected a GOP senate, House and White House. Let them try to govern. If Schumer or Jeffries cave, the Dems are worthless.
SHUT THE GOV DOWN AT THE END OF THE MONTH. SO TIRED OF SCHUMER DOING NOTHING TO FIGHT BACK.
Unfortunately SCOTUS agrees with him
Please read!!!!! This is going to blow this whole thing wide open & hopefully get this rigged election overturned. It is INSANE the layers of corruption. thiswillhold.substack.com/p/third-whis...
What laws? SCOTUS just decided our very constitution means nothing. We now have three justices and six injustices who dngaf about the Constitution.
How long will it take for a few republicans to grow spines ?

Congress must pass 1) strong protection for elections and 2) defining and supporting pre-Robert’s Bill of Rights provisions or shut down the government. These are not normal times. Business as usual enables the fascist takeover.
Fact that SCOTUS6 are as lawless & corrupt as felon isn't okay: ignoring oaths, overturning Colorado SC's lawful order, overturning settled law. The list goes on. Every person ignoring their oath should be tried for treason. (Rosenbergs' treason was reason Congress made violating oath Fed crime)
Congress and SCOTUS have abdicated their authority to override his illegal acts. Their reasons are no longer relevant. It’s a fact. The only way we can save our country is civic action on a huge scale. Take it to the streets, people. It’s our last chance.
It seems the Supreme Court agrees with him. Today is a dark day for individual rights.
He isn’t the president. He didn’t win. He wasn’t shot. He’s in the files.
He is above the law because nobody in a position to hold him accountable is. The Supreme Court gave him the authority to do whatever he wants.
SCOTUS have ruled against the Administration on multiple occasions, including in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case. www.scotusblog.com/2025/04/just...
The GOP figured out to keep a cushy, no work, high paying job. They turned their positions into title only. Utterly corrupt and deplorable.
I don't think the Supreme Court believes the law applies to him either.
His SCOTUS ruled Trump is in fact above the law. That was the day this all became irreconcilably real.
Then DO something.
He’s vile and disgusting and YOU NEED TO TRY TO GET SOME GOP TO HELP YOU GET HIM OUT!!!!!
The Supreme Court basically says Trump is above the law and the Constitution doesn’t apply to him.
