No "assurance" or "promise" any Republican makes on anything is worth a single thing, at all. It has exactly zero value. Why would any Democrat agree to anything that's not a piece of legislative text, when even legislative text is ignored by the wannabe dictators of the Trump regime?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

The lawlessness of this administration is stunning.

Ignoring budgets passed by Congress.

Going after opponents.

Political purges at the Pentagon.

Federal agents abusing Americans.

If Republicans think I’m going to fund that, they’re out of their god damn minds.

Trump is now 57 minutes late for his speech but at least we're getting an emo version of Hulk Hogan's theme song

God, I wish

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud:

“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!

We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

Trump is creating a Civil War. He needs to be stopped but whatever means necessary.

His actions require an appropriate response to end his treason.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

They're unaccountable hacks

exigency or any other pru dent threshold limitation on the exercise of our discretion— and wordlessly override the considered judgments of our colleagues. We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible.

Justice Jackson's sharp dissent accuses her Republican-appointed colleagues of abusing the court's shadow docket "to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible." She also takes a dig at their refusal to write opinions explaining their actions.

"🩺 Zoom in: Some Democrats openly acknowledge that, while health care is extremely important to them, it's not the only thing at stake. 🛑 "People want this to be a sort of reckoning, where people finally said, 'No,'" Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) told us. "We're going to start with these ACA subsidies because it's the most urgent," Landsman told us. "But ... you're creating a really important moment where sh*t didn't fly." The bottom line: "I marvel at the naivete of any Democrat who thinks we should give them Dem votes so they can just turn around and ignore us, crash the health care system, and dismantle what's left of our democracy," Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) told us. "The filibuster is toast anyway," he added, effectively daring Republicans to ignore the Senate's requirement for 60 votes and pass a party-line funding bill. "So let them proceed with GOP votes and let the country see with perfect clarity who owns all the damage and destruction they're fomenting.""

Good to see resolve/resilience from rank and file and House Democrats. Good on @rephuffman.bsky.social daring the republicans to abolish the filibuster ▶️ "[L]et them proceed with GOP votes and let the country see with perfect clarity who owns all the damage and destruction they're fomenting." (1/2)

It is fundamental to reactionary psychology to reject responsibility for anything negative. It's always someone else forced them, someone else's fault.

Consequently, pretty much every fascist has a story about how the left-- the professors, the queers, the academics, the kids --"radicalized" them.

"if Black people are getting federal contracts we will kill the project"

FUCK THE GOP SCOTUS. They are ruining our democracy one shadow docket ruling at a time, absolutely ruining people's lives in the process

Our lower court colleagues have already chosen the obvi-ous—i.e., least disruptive and most humane-answer to that question.? So, this stay application presents us with an antecedent decision: whether the Government's interest in terminating TPS right now is so urgent that this Court, rather than the able judges currently exercising jurisdiction over the matter, should be the one to decide those individuals' interim fate. See Noem v. Doe, 605 U.S. . (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting from grant of application for stay) (slip op., at 7-8); see also Magnum Import Co. v. Coty, 262 U. S. 159, 164 (1923) (explaining that "this Court requires an extraordinary showing" before it will override the stay decision of a lower court, rendered "with a much fuller knowledge [of the case] than we can have"). Only if the Government demonstrates such a time-sensitive need should we even consider vetoing the lower courts' unanimous judgment about the most equitable interim status. The Government has made no such showing. Yet, for the second time in this same case, the Court grants it the

JACKSON, J., dissenting extraordinary relief it seeks. We once again eschew re-straint—ignoring the need for exigency or any other prudent threshold limitation on the exercise of our discretion— and wordlessly override the considered judgments of our colleagues. We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible. I view today's decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. This Court should have stayed its hand. Having opted instead to join the fray, the Court plainly misjudges the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors by privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families' pleas for the stability our Government has promised them. Because, re-spectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.

Sotomayor and Kagan would deny the application.

Jackson, alone, writes, accusing the majority of "privileging the bald assertion of unconstrained executive power over countless families’ pleas for the stability our Government has promised them."

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Republicans want undocumented people to die of minor diseases and injuries rather than be treated bc Republicans are horrible human beings and they believe those people are sub-human and certainly don't deserve healthcare in any form

How many Americans know that Taylor Swift put out a new album

vs.

know that the president just told the military that he was going to unleash it on "the enemy within" shortly after his SecDef told it that it was going to become more brutal & lethal, with fewer restraints?

What's the ratio? 10/1?
