Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.
it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary.

Crime-ing while drunk. He must have been Putin's first choice for SecDef.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Messaging while drunk? Did someone not keep his promise to stop drinking if he was confirmed as SecDef?

He didn't even do that! He had already decided he needed to leave town to go on a book tour. Too busy to stay and fight for America.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Indivisible Calls on Schumer to Step Aside
NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

Senator Murray should take Schumer's place! He's a relic of the past who seems to think that the other side is playing by the old rules and it's time for him to go. Senator Murray clearly spelled out her reasons for opposition to the CR vote. Gutsy, passionate, and not afraid to fight.

'Crook, Liar, Racist': As a Veteran Reporter, I’m Not Afraid to Call Trump What He Is
Calling Trump corrupt and a threat to America are not opinions. They are objective statements of fact.
"Can a fair-minded reporter flatly describe the president as corrupt and a threat to America itself? Are those facts?...I say, “Yes.” Calling Trump corrupt and a threat to America are not opinions. They are objective statements of fact." - blistering from veteran political correspondent John Harwood

New Democratic bill targets Elon Musk
Rep. Mark Pocan's ELON MUSK Act takes aim at the billionaire's federal contracts.
"Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban 'special' government employees like Musk from having federal contracts."

the Dems need to hold a press conference daily, as a form of shadow gov't, to keep the public informed. We know trump will gladly KILL ppl (see COVID), & dems must point out the methods he will use. Regrets later won't suffice, they must try to protect the public

Just got another e-mail this morning from Kamala Harris asking me to donate to the DNC. Why the f***would I want to give them a single penny when I don’t hear any of my Democratic reps or Senators raising the alarm about the ongoing coup with Musk taking control of the government’s systems?

Attended tonight’s large-scale “Choose to Fight” call with many organizers incl those from Indivisible. Simultaneously depressing & heartening. Immediate action: Call (or go to) US Senators offices to oppose Russ Vought’s nomination to OMB. Vought=Project 2025 architect. Senators need mega prodding!

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something:
Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain."
And just stand there.
This is how many of you are coming across.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
