Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is β€œthe president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

This stone is actually at the FDR Memorial. Even so, I hope the next lawfully elected president, should we ever have another, pursuant to and in accordance with a statute duly enacted by a functioning Congress, should we ever have another, will have it permanently displayed in the Oval Office.

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media.

And yes, it is going to get much worse.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose β€œno” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Ex-January 6 prosecutors urge attorney disciplinary board to investigate Trump’s controversial pick to be DC’s top prosecutor | CNN Politics Five former prosecutors who worked on criminal cases stemming from the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol are urging the disciplinary office governing lawyers in Washington, DC, to open an inve...

This week, we filed a bar complaint against interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin.

Martin has threatened investigations against political enemies and given legal advice to at least one January 6 defendant. These actions violate his professional obligations as a lawyer.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

An β€˜Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

When "due process" doesn't exist, and in its place there's just a half-assed, lazy, racist hunt for bodies:

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.

Any lawyers at that firmβ€”partners or associatesβ€”who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.
