When’s the publication date of the sequel, @jaketapper.bsky.social?

A Reagan judge. This administration’s corruption and lawlessness is not a partisan issue. It’s a democracy and rule of law issue.

Why George Washington’s Worries About America's Fate Are Coming True George Washington’s Farewell Address warned against partisanship and ambitious leaders. His 229-year-old message feels uncannily relevant today.

A photo of selling your soul for ambition.

Please give me a Chris Murphy/Jamie Raskin ‘28 ticket. Serious ass people who care about democracy and America. I’d throw Cory Booker and AOC into that mix but for the fact that most of the Trump ‘24 voters are racist as hell and would never vote for a person of color.

If Trump's idiocy reverses the global rightward trend in national elections, it will be the greatest thing he has ever done. By far.

Exactly. If you think you have the proof of the basis for deportation, then present it and win. The lack of due process speaks volumes about the lack of evidence and confidence in the merits.

INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

I’m watching Top Secret with Val Kilmer for the first time. It came out in 1984. I’m dying. Slap stick comedy is the best.

Can we now deport Elon without due process as a national security threat like we did the brown people with funny tattoos?

Cory Booker is a boss. The symbolism of him breaking a record held by a racist who opposed civil rights at a time when Americans’ civil rights are again under assault is breathtaking.

The guy who allowed his court to pave the way for the behavior he now derides has thoughts. Respectfully, John, fuck off.

This is why Kamala Harris really lost Turnout among young people and immigrants was too high for the party’s own good, according to Democratic data analyst David Shor.

Judge Beryl Howell’s court order granting @jasonleopold.bsky.social’s FOIA request for Mar a lago documents is pure legal poetry (or porn, if you’re a total legal nerd like me). Be sure to read the footnotes. Those hold the biggest mic drops ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

These dipshits are going to get disbarred just like Rudy and Eastman.

To be fair, the GOP has been doing this for 50 years.

At the time, everyone, including Republicans, understood how bad it was. Then, brick by brick, they built a foundation of lies to justify doing what they know, deep down, to be wrong. Trump betrayed the country. And so do they.

What changed? And why? Trump was just as much of a threat to democracy in 2024. Shameful voter behavior.

How many unused timeouts will TJ have tonight? Will we give up 85?

The party that accuses everyone of being a pedophile has thoughts

Then / Now.

Just despicable.

As insane as you thought the next four years might be, today’s appointments ratcheted it to a whole another level. We’re about to find out whether America has gone bat shit fucking crazy.
