What legal justification are they relying on? I don’t think this administration is even trying to justify its murders in international war or these acts of aggression.

Give a listen! Reminding blue voters in rural northern Michigan that there are more of us than you think is essential work for 2026 and beyond @heidiheitkamp.bsky.social

Essential reading every month. I love this month’s focus on the founding of our precious republic.

Senate rejects Trump's global tariffs, the final vote in a series of rebukes Once again, four Republicans joined with Democrats to approve a resolution condemning a signature part of the president's agenda.

In three votes over the last three days the US Senate has voted to repeal Trump's tariffs on Brazil and Canada, and on his global "reciprocal" tariffs levied on most countries.

It's an extraordinary rebuke of Trump. 1/

Are you trying to say that 27 million tons exported in 2024 is better than the export of 12 million tons outlined in this β€œ art of the deal” arrangement?

Jeanine Pirro Covers Up Donald Trump's Doxing Conspiracy - emptywheel Among the things Trump's DOJ excised from the sentencing memo of Tayler Taranto yesterday is Trump's own role, by doxing Barack Obama, in getting Taranto to stalk Obama's neighborhood.

Donald Trump's DOJ has recently started treating doxing as a crime, charging at least 4 people in SoCal with it.

Which makes it all the more corrupt that Juicebox Janine memory holed Trump's own doxing that led to dangerous stalking of Barack Obama.

It is a crime to dox people that Trump approves of. It is an act of patriotism to dox those opposing him.

Perhaps a more nuanced response is in order. I wear shoes but I’d prefer not to walk in urine puddles.

I will not because these outlets are Trump propagandists.

Under the unitary executive theory, it is a national emergency of the utmost importance when a foreign power hurts the feelings of the POTUS.

I don’t think it is crashing but we were poised for the proverbial soft landing but for the economic illiteracy of this administration.

At least the last time this happened it wasn’t a self inflicted wound.

As a long time member of the Democratic Party, I was disturbed by how few of my compatriots at our local β€œNo Kings Day” gathering saw the party as their ally in this fight.

β€œThis is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

The Bukele scam really enrages me. I particularly looking forward to that piece. Our alliance with a Salvadoran dictator, again as Forrest Gump would say, is nauseating.
