I respectfully disagree. The American people who
Prioritize the 2d amendment above our right to life need to face the effects of their gun obsession.

I wish that other legal officials would file complaints against the members of the DOJ who are abusing the system!

This.
This is why you don’t cut cancer research.
Idiots. All of them.

Good riddance to all of them.

The U.S. Court of International Trade incredibly ruled against the United States of America on desperately needed Tariffs but, fortunately, the full 11 Judge Panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Court has just stayed the order by the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade. Where do these initial three Judges come from? How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of “TRUMP?” What other reason could it be? I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real “sleazebag” named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own “thing.” I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten! With all of that being said, I am very proud of many of our picks, but very disappointed in others. They always must do what’s right for the Country! In this case, it is only because of my successful use of Tariffs that many Trillions of Dollars have already begun pouring into the U.S.A. from other Countries, money that, without these Tariffs, we would not be able to get. It is the difference between having a rich, prosperous, and successful United States of America, and quite the opposite. The ruling by the U.S. Court of International Trade is so wrong, and so political! Hopefully, the Supreme Court will reverse this horrible, Country threatening decision, QUICKLY and DECISIVELY. Backroom “hustlers” must not be allowed to destroy our Nation! The horrific decisio…

Trump turns heel on the Federalist Society

“Decades of political science research show that societies that are open & pluralistic, w/ high levels of both individual & political rights, are more prosperous, more peaceful & more effective than autocracies that are closed and stagnant.”

“An analysis found that the claim that 1.4 million undocumented migrants were on Medicaid was false. People living in the US without immigration papers are not eligible for the federal program other than to receive emergency medical treatment.”

Texas bill requiring Ten Commandments in public schools headed to governor's desk Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to sign the legislation. The state's requirement of a Ten Commandments display follows similar laws in Louisiana and Arkansas.

NEW:

All Texas public elementary or secondary schools “must display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments.”

Bring on the lawsuits!!

Future historians -- if there are any -- will just be shaking their damn heads that Tapper sucked up all the oxygen as the current president was criming in plain sight while drooling and his henchmen were dismantling even more of the country.

Today, on the U.S. Foreign Service's 101st birthday, I thank Foreign Service Officers for their work promoting human rights and U.S. national security interests around the world—and I stand with them against reckless, mass cuts that will make Americans and the world less safe.

🔥🔥🔥 @raskin.house.gov is on fire! Powerful speech about the Jan 6th insurrection, & the unconstitutional charges brought by F47's DOJ's Alina Habba against Congresswoman @replamonica.bsky.social. Thank you Congressman. It helps to know & hear you fighting for us. 🙏🔵💪

Trump had a really bad day at the Supreme Court as his argument against universal injunctions fell flat. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had the 🎤 moment of the hearing when she called out Trump’s argument as a “catch me if you can regime.” @meidastouch.com

Ed Martin’s defeat Is a sign Donald Trump’s power Is waning Republican Senators balked—this time—at the president's effort to force through an unqualified extremist.

Spot-on obit for Ed Martin’s short and thoroughly disgraceful career as a US attorney under Trump www.motherjones.com/politics/202... From @motherjones.com’s @dfriedman.bsky.social (whose reporting led the way on how Martin tried to gloss over his ties to a repugnant far-right extremist, etc.)

I find this offensive at a time when our country is burning. I just have to say it.

This might be my favorite clip ever

The ~700k people of DC:

—Pay more fed tax per capita than people of any state;
—Are more numerous than pop of WY or VT;
—Have zero votes in US House or Senate;
—Now being told by House GOP that we can't spend *OUR OWN* tax money, which we've already paid

Cut the BS Thanks @vanhollen.senate.gov

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
