The judge finds probable cause to hold Trump's admin in contempt. Oh, what a shockβ€”Team Chaos broke the law again. Who’d have guessed? Lock in for the legal circus! #TrumpContempt #JusticeServed

The Admin is now backed into 2 corners in 2 different courts. They've been talking a tough game,but these are the cases that likely will reveal whether they are going to drive the country over the cliff. Looking forward to discussing on @allinwithchris.bsky.social + @rhodesben.bsky.social at 8 PM ET

There should've been an entire group of Democratic Senators that joined Chris Van Hollen. He shouldn't be the only one.

Donald Trump's admin will stop at nothing to restrict access to health insurance.

Their newest effort makes it harder to enroll through state marketplaces and limits options.

That's why I'm leading my fellow governors in demanding Dir. Nelson withdraw the proposed rule.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Fighting for a Better Future

The simple truth is that we all do better when we all do better. We must fight for the promise of America for all of usβ€”for our freedoms, for our democracy, and for working folks and kids to have real agency and opportunity. www.aft.org/ae/spring202...

β€œI have no idea what Signal is. I don’t care what Signal is,” Trump said on Saturday. β€œAll I can tell you is it’s just a witch hunt, and it’s the only thing the press wants to talk about, because you have nothing else to talk about. Because it’s been the greatest 100-day presidency in the history of our country.”

🎡 How many rights, can a man take away
Before you call him a fraud?
How many lies can a President say
And still claim he's chosen by God?
Yes and how many times must the mnokey shit fly?
Before they admit he's a clod?

The answer my friend, is blowin' Putin.
The answer is blowin' Putin. 🎡

trump believes he is the boss of america and that it is our duty as his subjects to show him endless respect and deference. anything less than groveling is to be punished by the state.

Pritzker: The question I ask is: if you’re willing to hand the keys to Europe over to Putin, what’s next? How does the US retain its leadership in the world when he’s essentially retreating to our own borders? He’s even made enemies of the Canadiansβ€”I can’t imagine anything more telling than that.

His assault on the judiciary continues.

SCOTUS gave him a whiff of absolute power last year.

He wants it all.

No checks. No balances.
