Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

Guessing that Iran strike just got more imminent. But certainly going to be a lot of ketchup flung. #Resist #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

We know exactly why. It is clear.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

"I don't see any reason why we can't do what we did with opiates, what we did with tobacco. We need to regulate Big Tech," Scott Galloway tells Tim Miller. "All the problems you're talking about are fixable, and the illusion of complexity is what Big Tech wants you to be overrun with."

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

What PM Støre says would be obvious to anyone, but not to Trump.

A woman in Lakewood, Colorado, suffered a heart attack after witnessing her husband’s kidnapping by ICE. The incident occurred on 2/14/26, at 1:00 p.m. MST.

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION DID A STUDY TO FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTED IN A FEDERAL ELECTION THAT WERE UNDOCUMENTED. THEY FOUND A WHOPPING 77 VOTERS...IN 24 YEARS OF VOTING. IN 24 YEARS, 1,008,643,528 PEOPLE HAVE VOTED, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE UNCOVERED AN ASTOUNDING .00000764% OF VOTERS THAT VOTED ILLEGALLY. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING THE HUGE PROBLEM WITH VOTER FRAUD.

Judge bars 'warrantless' immigration enforcement raids at churches It hardly requires mentioning that freedom of religion is both a core American value and a basic liberty protected by the First Amendment and laws of the United States

The Trump administration has been barred from carrying out "warrantless" immigration enforcement operations in or "within 100 feet of the entrance" to various churches across the country.

Fascist regimes toast as if time belongs to them. Mussolini hung upside down. Ceaușescu faced the wall. Hitler took himself out with a bullet. Power swears it is eternal even when the rot begins to surface. The party always ends. It always ends. Do not kneel. This too shall pass.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.

Sen. Schiff leads probe into Freedom250, the America birthday group offering access to Trump for donations The Democratic senators raise concern about alleged "pay-to-play" access.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before:

Trump’s White House is offering million-dollar donors special access to the President and official events — this time America’s 250th birthday.

This latest pay-to-play arrangement undercuts already crumbling public trust.
