Correct Bernie! RepubliKKKans Haven't believed in Science FOREVER......
šØ How much more will ~130,000 #NEBRASKA residents have to pay if Republicans let the improved ACA subsidies expire? Up to 4.5x as much for the same plan. No, seriously. acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...
The 9th Circuit seems to have decided extremely poorly and illogically. How did they manage to ignore the fact that the president was clearly NOT āunable to executeā ICE raids? Was this a panel or en banc decision, and was the vote split?
Itās clear that we are on the path to a Trump pardon for Maxwell. I wrote on Substack why NewYork can (and should) pick up the baton open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

S27 E1 Also did a good job exposing the hypocrisy of the anti-woke propaganda and defending freedom of (and especially FROM) religion.
Every day, the horrors in Gaza reach new, unimaginable depths. And as starvation spreads, Netanyahu and Trump remain complicit in a scheme to use US taxpayer dollars to replace humanitarian aid orgs with mercenaries ā leading to more death and devastation. This cannot continue.
Heās really going after that supervillain checklist, isnāt he?
ā They are doing what they always do, lying, twisting the truth to fit their narrative, cherrypicking tidbits of fact and concocting a story that not only contradicts the truth, but is the exact opposite.

Donāt be fooled by Tulsi Gabbard/Kash Patelās attempts to resuscitate claims about the Steele Dossier. Hard facts about how it was used, endorsed by Senate Republicans, in this excellent thread šš¼

The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...
It was exactly 6 months ago that this administration issued blanket pardons to everyone involved in the January 6 insurrection.
ICE just prevented me from entering an immigration detention facility in my districtāa clear violation of federal law. Members of Congress have the right to immediately access these facilities. Listen here š
You can read all the retrospectives about Epstein running now. But to really understand the case, go right to the @jkbjournalist.bsky.social series in the @miamiherald.com that ran 7 years ago (and for completely inexplicable reasons, never won a Pulitzer). www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...
A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.
Trump is directing his DoJ to investigate people involved in the Mueller probe from 8 years ago but wants us to move on from Epstein.
CBS canceled Colbertās show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump ā a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
Yeah, extortion and bribery between Trump and the owners of Paramount are āfinancial decisions.ā
This comes courtesy of OHCHR, which is a really interesting example of how UN bodies continue to accomplish things just fine without the United States - including holding the U.S. to account in meaningful ways. No time to be pessimists about multilateralism where weāre going, folks.
www.dailykos.com/stories/2025... Long overdue. A worse person for US AG is hard to imagine.
The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'
Last year SCOTUS got rid of Chevron deference because courts, not the executive, get to interpret the law. But itās totally fine for a Republican president to pretend civil rights laws mean the opposite of what they say, and SCOTUSā main concern is getting pesky judges out of the His MAGAstyās way.
A lot more people are saying Trump is a corrupt self-serving convicted felon, liar, fraud, draft-dodging coward, traitor, and should be in prison, not the White House.
Decent time to remember that Trump got run out of New York where he always want to be a star and be loved because everyone decided he was a huge bitch and hated him.
RFKJ is an ill-informed ignoramus who doesnāt understand medical science at all, yet arrogantly thinks he knows better than the medical and scientific communities. Heās too irrational to even grasp how irrational he is.
Big Tech managed to bungle its way into a fight with Rs and Ds in the Senate in an amazingly small way. They have refused to add C-SPAN to their streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu, etc. āPolicymakers will not take kindly to unchecked selfishness.ā www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Sheās totally right. The whole concept of DOGE and how it operated (or still operates?) is blatantly unconstitutional, not to mention inefficient, destructive, and practically insane.
This CBO score shows how grim the impacts of the Republican budget bill will be: $2.4 trillion will be added to the debt, 16 million Americans will lose access to healthcare, and costs for hardworking families will only continue to skyrocket.
You forgot hypocrite.
My big takeaway from tonightās DC Bar president candidates Q&A is that Pam Bondiās brother is exactly who you think he is, and itās very important that DC lawyers cast our votes for @whatajlp.bsky.social by the 6/4 deadline. Search your email for āVote Today in the D.C. Bar Electionā and do it now.

Bonginoās a moron with an extreme right-wing agenda.
Corporate media horribly frames Trump's attacks on Harvard as a "Fight" between the two. It's not. It's called FASCISM. And What Trump is doing is what other fascist and autocrats have done to universities to silence dissent:
Unprecedented blatant grifting by the most corrupt POTUS ever.
As House Republicans pass a budget bill that takes from the poor to finance tax cuts predominantly for the rich, Trump is hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who spent a total of $394 million to gain access to him. It's clear who they really serve.
Yesterday my hometown was hit with massive tornadoes. We weren't expecting them in places that have never been hit before and have no idea who will help us. FEMA is all but dead and our state is run by Republicans that hate the city. This is the canary in the coal mine. My latest.
The Republican budget bill includes a 10-year federal moratorium preventing states from enacting any laws regulating artificial intelligence. States would not be able to stop AI from denying health insurance or firing employees or protect kids from addictive algorithms.
This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025ās puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.
"They could have talked to career public employees or nonpartisan government experts. But they didnāt, because they did not want to know."
The 80-year recipe stoking Americaās Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideasā¦ 2) enabled by Engineering Innovationsā¦ 3) based on Science Research in Universitiesā¦ 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. Itās time more people understood this.
Itās astounding how often Alito makes flagrantly false statements of fact to support his emotional, angry arguments.
There are ample grounds for it, right? Heās a convicted felon, and incited an insurrection. Much worse than many of the people heās trying to deport.
What a reprehensible performance by Noem, refusing to answer a plain, simple question. She acts like sheās on Fix News instead of being questioned at a congressional hearing.
I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.
RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA
Time to really secure the border while heās away, and not let him back in.
Geier is a fraud and a quack, and Jr is a lunatic.
Sickening.
Beyond offensive that American officials are trying to boost the AfD and undermine the German constitutional order. Itās a concerted effort now to boost fascism globally.
"What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who, along with Howard Lutnick ā he is self-dealing on crypto ... instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar." Rep. Jake Auchincloss
Five former National Weather Service directors have taken the unusual step of signing onto an open letter warning that cuts to the organization by the Trump administration may soon endanger lives.
Here comes the arrests of journalists now.
Virtually all of Trumpās picks were chosen for two reasons: loyalty to him personally, and the capacity and willingness to perform on Fox āNewsā regularly.
In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...
Of course he did.
I'm not sure many people, especially those outside of Texas, realize how diabolical Abbott really was about the vouchers. State congress had managed to push off the vouchers multiple times until Abbott helped get his own party members voted out who were protecting their districts from the vouchers.
Yes, letās help all our rich friends drain funds from public schools and pay for their kids to go to private schools (that theyāre already attending!) And letās call it School Choice! Hahaha! Thatās a good one!!
"Trump Pardons Republican Who Spent Police Officer Memorial Fund on Plastic Surgery" This comes after Trump pardoned Jan 6 terrorists who brutally beat up police officers. Trump hates the police yet the police love him. www.newsweek.com/trump-pardon...
His entire life is an endless grift.
I love this, and would like to print a black text on white background version, but have only been able to find it on sites that include banners, ads, etc., that make it absurdly unwieldy and at least 9 pages. A printable 4-page version or pdf, black text on white, would be extremely helpful.
Iāll see your āwildly inaccurateā and raise you ā a damn lie.ā
Direct File gave people an easy-to-use, free way to file their taxes. Now, Donald Trump wants to end that program. It's a massive giveaway to the giant tax prep companies that rip Americans off.
As Judge Wilkinson wrote: āIf today the Executive claims the right to deport without due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home?ā
Heās right, but it took him several years to wake up to whatās going on with Trump and the so-called GOP
Trump administration: āHow DARE they use the judicial system to stop our illegal, unconstitutional attempt at an end run around the judicial system?ā

"Party of the working class."
Well said!
Trump is stupid enough to believe any BS fed to him by Stephen Wormtongue Miller or any extreme rw nutcase. But it doesnāt matter whether he believes it, because heās willing to repeat the lie if he likes it.
The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade
The layers of lies and circular reasoning they use put Catch-22 to shame.
3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.
Donāt you just love autoācorrectā?
2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.
8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0. If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.
Whatās important to note is the glove in his left rear pocket and notebook in his right, creating the precise counterbalance differential for putting accuracy at such a crucial moment.
Follow earned.
At Law Dork, I wrote about that Oval Office visit ā and what it means:
Weird thing about that: the enforcement arm of the federal judiciary is the US Marshalls Service. But they are under the direction of the US Attorney General. See a problem?
BREAKING: the heroes at Susman Godfrey sue the Trump administration over the illegal retaliation against them They have more integrity in their pinky finger than these other firms that have been capitulating have in their entire partnerships And kudos to the team at Munger for representing them
There are not very many violent criminals here on visas. Even those without a visa are less likely to commit crimes than MAGA morons. Xenophobia is a heckofa drug.
Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.
