This from the @washingtonpost.com is wild

America’s Mad King The president has grown more impulsive, more vindictive, and more anarchic.

If your great policy ideas have to be promoted with the caveat of dissing previous administrations "great" policies, you're just selling a different shade of shitty.

Watching grown folks in suits playing word games and rhetorical chess to sell the same lies of their grandparents.

How Donald Trump Throttled Big Law The President has two goals: to seek revenge and to intimidate lawyers challenging his agenda. Is a top firm’s deal with him a necessary act of survival or a damaging blow to the entire profession?

I wrote this for the New Yorker about Donald Trump’s reign of terror against Big Law. Now he has gone after WilmerHale.

This is what happens when politicians traffic in mendacity and hypocrisy.

Tell me again about those emails, Signal bros. 🙄
It's obvious this administration is complicit with leaking sensitive military secrets. Quite worse than HRC emails, imo.

Kaufmann: Through wars, recessions, and national crises, Social Security has never missed a payment and there's no reason it should.

Thank you to Mayors Nadia Mohamed and Roslyn Harmon for a beautiful evening of community at the inaugural mayors’ iftar. Being with our neighbors makes us stronger and able to face the uncertainty of the moment. We are not alone.

Vote the Bums Out Nine Democratic senators lent their imprimatur to Donald Trump’s plan to destroy the government. Voters must make them pay.

There is no substantive difference between a government shutdown and what Republicans are already doing and intend to do in the future.

The only thing that’s changed is that the GOP can now claim to have bipartisan assent for their wave of mutilation.

This administration is set on eradicating all trust and treaty responsibilities to Tribal Nations. The actions from the Trump Administration and Congress are abhorrent. We need politicians to see us and the real threat to our existence as American Indian people!
Silence only permits violence!

Greenpeace must pay at least $660m over Dakota pipeline protests, says jury Non-profit, which will appeal decision, says lawsuits like this are aimed at ‘destroying the right to peaceful protest’

This lawsuit falsely claimed that the Indigenous-led movement to stop the DAPL was actually started by Green Peace. It was brought by the same law firm that was using Native kids to try and gut tribal sovereignty.

U.S. Senator Tina Smith sitting with Tribal leaders and MIAC board members at their Sovereignty Day event at the Minnesota State Capitol.

Tribal sovereignty is inherent—it predates the United States and is enshrined in treaties, federal law, and the U.S. Constitution. We won't stop reminding the Trump administration of these facts.
 
Thank you to the Minnesota Indian Affairs Council for having me today.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

*screams into the void*
so now we have to watch this administration humiliate itself on the world stage like a petulant spoiled child. Behavior that insults the valor of WWII vets like my Grandfather.
America first?? a lie told to claim power. Land grabs of an Earth ablaze yet will endure despite us

Oliver Darcy on a cowed mainstream press "It’s highly alarming how news institutions and Big Tech are behaving in response to an autocratic wannabe."

“Whether it’s Meta or Amazon or Bezos, it’s clear that Trump runs the show. That’s incredibly worrying. The whole job of the Fourth Estate is to hold the powerful accountable — not to bend the knee.”

The audacity of fundraising emails asking for more money to "save democracy" when y'all aren't even fighting. Money shouldn't be the deciding factor of whether good defeats evil. Greed, pride, & mendacity are the traits of a politician. Politicians are inherently corrupt & trained to lie for power.

It’s difficult to get a tree to grow when the roots are diseased.

People are STILL SAYING “This isn’t who we are!”, and I really, really need yall to recognize that IT IS who this country is, and who it’s been since inception. Like c’mon now, I cannot hold y’all’s hand when I say it anymoooooore

NOTHING will change until you see it and acknowledge it. Nothing.

Sen Murkowski has introduced a Senate bill to permanently name the highest peak in North America Mt Denali after Trump re-named it Mt McKinley.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
