Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump). • Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges. • Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side. • A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush. • The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

The Democratic Senators who voted to pass the CR are living in the past, in a world where Republicans were moderates, and willing to compromise. MAGA Republicans are the extreme right, and can only be countered by Democrats willing to be extreme. Elect Democrats who will fight.

Don’t let the Orange Man rewrite history!

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.

Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters

Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

If you’re in the neighborhood…

How fucking embarrassing, Dick Durbin.

$top the $teal! Trump is trashing government programs to line billionaires’ pockets. The deficit will be much higher at the end of Trump’s rule than it is now. But the kleptocrats will be richer.

A tweet from Ron Filipkowski ( @RonFilipko ...) posted 6 hours ago. The tweet reads: "It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?"

Musk is full of shit as always.

A tweet from Isaiah Martin ( @isialahrmartin ) features a meme with a background of a brightly lit arena filled with people. The text on the meme reads: "OH HI THERE" at the top, and "ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE PERSON WHO LITERALLY TOLD YOU ALL OF THIS WOULD HAPPEN?" at the bottom. In the foreground, Kamala Harris is sitting in a chair with a water bottle and some electronic devices on a table in front of her.

It gives me no pleasure to say she was right.

Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

We’re done here. Right?

Thousands of Danes sign petition to buy California from U.S. In response to President Donald Trump’s continued musing about the U.S. acquiring Greenland from Denmark, Danish citizens have launched their own effort to purchase America’s most econo…

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

We’re supposed to just take Elon’s word that he’s found “massive” fraud in federal systems he took over? The same guy they found committing fraud on his fellow gamers?

Great point.

Perfectly captured.

Kudos to whoever figured this out

What now?

Illegal, but nice try morons.

Thanks!

I’m sending a strongly worded letter.

I’m curious how much federal funding he thinks the ACLU receives (it’s none).

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
