Neither is Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife, who posted, β€œIt’s a real treat to see all these Liberals condemn political violence now. You called us Hitler. You called us Nazis. You called us Racists. You have blood on your hands.”

An hour is enough. I wonder if there was concern about how the assassination would be covered? They're professionals. MSNBC pulled #MorningJoe following the Trump shooting in July 2024. Did the same thing happen tonight????

We protest in many different ways. What's important is that we do something consistently.

I'm so proud to be among the 1000+ #NorthwesternUniversity alumni who sent a "Standing Up to Bullies" letter to the university President and Board of Trustees. Alumni must not be silent. We must take a stand for what we believe in, especially when it's difficult.

'Move Fast': Inside Team Trump's Furious Defiance of the Courts Donald Trump's advisers are attacking judges for daring to β€œcontrol” him. Trump wants the one objecting to his deportation plans to be β€œIMPEACHED!!!”

Today's task
Put out, on your personal Social Media, that the Republican regime is arguing that they don't have to obey judge's orders. It's surprising how many people don't know that.

Timeline of Trump’s Deportation Flights, From Alien Enemies Act to Judge’s Order A New York Times review of flight data showed that at the time of a federal judge’s order, two flights were in the air, and one had not yet taken off.

β€œA New York Times review of the flight data showed that none of the planes in question landed in El Salvador before the judge’s order and that one of them did not even leave American soil until after the judge’s written order was posted online.”

Telling the federal judiciary to β€œf*ck off” Will Trump defy the Supreme Court?

Today the Trump administration upped the ante by overtly treating federal judicial orders as optional. Once these thugs apply the same approach to the United States Supreme Court, expect the political shit to hit the fan.

Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will they say now?

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias.

This cause was once championed by *Republicans.*

Trump’s halt on refugees leaves Pa. families fearful for loved ones overseas: β€˜There is no hope’ Mohibullah Hasrat, of West Philadelphia, knows only this: If the Taliban takes his parents and three sisters, he’ll return to Afghanistan and surrender. That way, at least, they will all die together.

This incompetence has far-ranging dire consequences.
