talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

it is the worst of all worlds. a "unitary *presidency*" insulated from judicial or congressional power and a weak president unable to do the job of governing

thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties

The Supreme Court is making an all-powerful president—but the one we have isn’t all that interested in the job The unitary executive theory is premised on vigorous and vigilant leadership that the country doesn’t always get.

Yes! UET recreates not Roberts' vigorous and democratically responsive president but the hapless monarch whose aides rule the kingdom: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

i like that this administration is committed to inflicting as much pain on as many americans as possible.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

I'm mostly trying to stay out of US politics rn but the whole Sec of War doing the example of an illegal order to bomb drug dealers and start a war for oil whilst the Prez pardons a drug dealer is a pretty impressive shitstorm

Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits Contact Congress today!

Loser Mike Johnson is pissed that we’re gaining ground in forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits.

So let’s get even louder:

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

BREAKING: We won! 3rd Circuit affirms illegality of Habba appointment

"… in the present instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware …."

Thank you to all the volunteers! Rep. Aftyn Behn reported that more than 600 volunteers turned out and knocked on 13,000 doors. Let’s flip TN’s 7th District! And if you’ve got time, they still need help!

Bodycam video shows feds’ aggressive tactics in vivid detail: ‘Deploy f---ing gas’

A federal judge has released footage from nearly four dozen body cameras showing immigration agents’ ‘unprecedented’ use of force during their months-long deportation blitz in the Chicago area.

You don’t get to pick. That’s the whole damn point of the rule of law.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

I happily donate to Wikipedia, incredible resource in this day and age especially.

Federal agents engaged in widespread misrepresentations to justify use of force: Judge The ABC7 I-Team is taking a closer look at a trove of videos ordered released by a federal judge in her explanation of the preliminary injunction she issued earlier this month restricting use of force...

“In nearly all of the examples Judge Ellis cited in her 200-plus page opinion, she says the Department of Homeland Security narrative contradicts the reality of what can be seen on agents' body-worn cameras.”

Go Chuck!

Someone needs to say it. Trump 2028 isn’t happening.

We know the presidency ages you, and we’re witnessing his rapid decline. His approval is buried in the 30s, and his stamina is gone. He won’t be able to vigorously campaign.

He can pretend 2028 is inevitable, but everyone can see the truth.

The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine

Trump continually overturns the decisions of American citizen juries.

A rare moment of a Republican genuinely giving a damn.

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.

To call this despicable is an understatement.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not
