Translation I’m very busy cutting Medicaid over here. 👈 I cannot be bothered with Congressional oversight of an unconstitutional emolument over there👉🏾 .⚖️
The high life of Kristi Noem: Louis Vuitton bags, $50,000 solid gold Rolex, and now a second Gulfstream 5. Wow.
A national school voucher program got a step closer to becoming law Wednesday. The proposal in the U.S. House would allocate $5 billion a year in tax credits for people donating to organizations that provide private and religious school scholarships.
It's ok the AG signed off on the legality of the trade
And then there’s this. This isn’t an intellectual game. This is how republics end.
Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.
Yes, now!
NEW: All 17 Elias Law Group partners have signed the @democracyforward.org letter urging the Attorney General to oppose attacks on the legal profession, calling the ongoing attacks "inconsistent with our nation’s values."
This is fucking appalling and inhuman. Fuck this regime.
She’s an absolute POS.
I had legit completely forgotten this.
Project 2025 is being implemented in real time right in front of our eyes. We should be pointing this out daily until the people who didn't believe it can't deny it any longer.
Thank you for resisting & setting an example to others, Marc!
🙏 👍 ❤️
Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.
I think it’s wrong to couch this as a political, D vs. R battle. This is the time, in the words of Rev. Barber, to raise a MORAL DISSENT, not one base on party, but in clear understanding of right and wrong.
The Republican CR to fund the government just passed the procedural hurdle in the Senate because of these Democrats:
Chuck Schumer
Catherine Cortez Masto
Dick Durbin
Brian Schatz
Angus King
Maggie Hassan
John Fetterman
Gary Peters
Kirsten Gillibrand
Jeanne Shaheen
Shame on you all.
This photo is a masterclass in the malevolence of unresolved emotional trauma.
For anyone who, like me, refuses to watch the speech, “Saving Private Ryan” is on AMC and provides a useful nudge to our collective memory and national conscience of what it looks like to stand up to fascism.
Slight edit: Nazi porn bar
The fact that there might be a conclave so close to a movie about one has really motivated me to finish my screenplay "The Tech CEO Who Died of Diarrhea So Explosive The Coroner Said He Had No Lower Back to Speak Of"
Donald Trump has made Richard Nixon a choirboy. JD Vance is making Spiro Agnew a respectable vice president.
I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.
🤔
Regime. Trump-Vance Regime. Put it all in there.
At what point does “against all enemies, foreign and domestic” compel action? If we’re not there yet (which I believe we are) we’ve gotta be pretty freaking close.
Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.
Don’t doubt for a moment that our democracy is in genuine peril.
