Reminder: The 22nd Amendment prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice.

"Probably not" is not an okay answer for something that is explicitly blocked by the constitution.

Trump couldn't care less about the Constitution he swore an oath to protect.

I was interviewed by the good folks at "Today, Explained" about those bizarre, AI slop videos of the founders that PragerU made for the White House's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "They've talked about these fines, they've talked about trying to expel us from office... We're not too concerned about the personal or political costs. This is a lot bigger than us. This is about whether or not we will have free and fair elections in 2026."

Tell state leaders: copy the Massachusetts Millionaires Tax States can make progress now -- taxing the rich and funding public education -- by copying Massachusetts' Millionaires Tax.

Congress and the White House can't prevent states from taxing the rich and funding public education. Tell state leaders to copy the Massachusetts Millionaires Tax! Take action with @inequality.org: action.ips-dc.org/a/inequality...

Trump administration approves sale of CBS parent company Paramount The Federal Communications Commission approved the sale of Paramount Global after the buyer made pledges to showcase a diversity of viewpoints and root out alleged bias in CBS' news coverage.

Media reporter David Folkenflik asked me why Trump wants millions of dollars from media companies, universities, and law firms. I said it's not to get the money. "It's primarily about exerting dominance and creating a chilling effect for other actors." More details (and quotes) on the NPR website.πŸ‘‡

The EPA is shamelessly abandoning its responsibility to protect the public from the threat of climate change.

Working families will bear the cost of rising energy costs, worse pollution, & more extreme weather.

This is an undeserved β€˜get out of jail free’ card for Big Oil.

"Because Texas is the origin, destination or transit point of two-thirds of binational trade, clearly, Texas will be more affected than other states that are not as integrated," says Tony Payan, director of the Center for the U.S. and Mexico at the Baker Institute urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

Three steps too many: 1) The illegally Republican-stacked Supreme Court destroys constructive politics in the U.S. by giving the wealthy unlimited access to policymaking. Full stop, no other numbers needed. The rest was inevitable. Corrupt politicians ensured it.

Let's not skip over the starting point here.

The starting point was that there was no client list, Epstein & Maxwell worked alone.

Now suddenly there's a list of 100 clients.

This is corruption to the highest degree & will only get worse.

I suspect the imprisonment of political opponents next.
