Repeat it out loud. Remind yourself that it's true:

"It is not illegal to criticize the President of the USA."

"It is not illegal to accuse the President of crimes."

"It is not illegal to work against the political agenda of the President."

These are true as long as we remember they are true.

Image in an excerpt from an opinion column in The Hill, which is linked to in the post. The excerpted text reads: "The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term just days after the 20th anniversary of John Roberts being sworn in as chief justice. It is not a happy anniversary. "There is little doubt that the court’s right-wing majority will use the coming term to further dismantle constitutional checks and balances and grant more power to the increasingly dictatorial President Trump. The only real question is how aggressively the Roberts-Trump Court will pursue its drive to reverse more than a century of constitutional precedent and social progress."

It's been 20 years since John Roberts became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. As @svantemyrick.bsky.social notes, it's not a happy anniversary. @peoplefor.bsky.social

Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan.

In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion...

"ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence.

Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks...

Jimmy Kimmel shares first photo since suspension — hours before his ‘JKL!’ return Jimmy Kimmel honored a TV legend on Instagram after his suspension.

We fought for Kimmel's return because censorship is UnAmerican.

And we also knew that Norman Lear loved this man and believed in him.

Norman would have his back all the way.

Be clear - they aren't even accusing Soros of doing anything illegal.

They are accusing Soros of disliking Trump.

And they want to make THAT illegal.

That should concern us all no matter your political leaning.

Trump lawyer Cleta Mitchell says Trump may try to declare a “national sovereignty” crisis in 2026 to claim “emergency powers” over elections and override the states

Truth Social post from Donald Trump: “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to “BREATHE,” and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The president who cares so much about fighting antisemitism is threatening to imprison a nonagenarian Jewish Holocaust survivor, because of an antisemitic conspiracy that attributes all liberal political movements to the hand of a cabal of wealthy Jews.

You know, fighting antisemitism.

Stop Trump’s Takeover of Washington, DC President Trump has used false claims of “rampant violent crime” to seize control of Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department – even though the federal government’s own data shows violent crime...

Join our letter to Congres. Violent crime in DC is at its lowest point in more than 30 years.

This sets a dangerous precedent for overriding local control.

Congress must stand against this abuse of power and protect local self-governance. Reject it.

Another recent study shows murder rates are much higher in “tough on crime” red states than “soft on crime” blue states. That’s been true every year since 2000.

This rhetoric continues to be weaponized against reforms that actually could save lives.

I have lived in Washington DC virtually my entire adult life. Trump is lying about the city to justify his desire to play dictator.

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

Trump often makes me think of a character from the Popeye strip — not Popeye, the spinach-eating sailor and strongman, nor his nemesis Bluto, but J. Wellington Wimpy.

according to roberts, the 2024 presidential election represented an expression of some rousseauean general will, embodied in the person of donald trump. as such, any political unit which deviates from that will is illegitimate and must be disciplined.

BREAKING: Trump judicial nominee Emil Bove just refused to say whether he would allow Trump to run for a third term, even though it is a direct violation of the Constitution.

Pam Bondi just fired the Justice Department’s top ethics adviser.

This comes as her office faces massive backlash over the Epstein files.

Excerpt from op ed: "Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress have responded to the lawlessness and brutality of the Trump-era Immigrations and Customs Enforcement by showering ICE with tens of billions of dollars to hire 10,000 new enforcement officers and create our own domestic concentration camps. Rewarding bad behavior this way will only embolden the worst impulses of the people running ICE operations. It is the opposite of accountability."

Poorest Americans Dealt Biggest Blow Under Senate Republican Tax Package

"Millions of low-income Americans could experience staggering financial losses under the domestic policy package that Republicans advanced through the Senate, which reserves its greatest benefits for the rich while threatening to strip health insurance, food stamps and other aid from the poor."

fiscal discipline and tough love and etc, etc.

THIS bill ends insurance for 11.8 million while INCREASING THE NATIONAL DEBT BY $3.3 TRILLION.

This is not a conservative bill.

This is theft.

This is corruption.

I personally think it's a shame to kick 11.8 million people off of their insurance.

But I know real rock-ribbed conservatives who would support kicking poor people off insurance if it meant reducing the national debt by $3.3 trillion.

They'd call it...

This bill raises the debt by $3.3 TRILLION while kicking 11.8 MILLION off insurance.

Long island! Will you be on Commons?
