For the record, the judges and staff of our federal courts are working without pay,

but Congress is being paid without working.

I am infuriated by the preposterousness of these ridiculous times.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal.

There is no rational justification for such a deployment.

It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

It makes Trump feel like a big man to let people out, that's the only reason he does it. Subverting justice for a momentary thrill to his ego without any deeper conviction - completely exemplifies him.

George Santos was sentenced to 87 months in prison. He served 85 days. Here's Anderson Cooper recapping some of his biggest lies.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint.

They are all terrified of King Donald.

Hasan: Let me say to every Republican and conservative watching. Aren't you the ones that said no more big government? No tyranny in America? If you believe that, what are you doing defending masked federal agents in unmarked cars bundling people off the streets

Couldn’t agree more.

Standing up for democracy, inclusion, and accountability isn’t hating America, it’s the most patriotic thing we can do.

No kings, no theocracy, no fascism.

See you, tomorrow.πŸ‘‡

The Fascist Trump regime on Friday asked the corrupt right-wing Supreme Court to allow him to do whatever the fuck he wants by illegally deploying National Guard troops in Chicago, in opposition to a Federal judge's orders.

"Whether most of the Supreme Court justices are too cowardly to stand up to a president showing a complete disregard for the law, or the court plans to rubber-stamp this administration’s authority to racially profile citizens, every American’s civil rights are on the line. "

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

Donald Trump announces he has commuted George Santos’ sentence in his federal fraud case:

Trump’s threats succeed in halting global plan to clean up shipping emissions A surprising about-face on an international climate effort followed increased threats by Trump to retaliate against nations supporting the compact.

A plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions in shipping supported by much of the maritime industry was shelved Friday following threats from President Trump that he would punish countries backing the measure.
