A federal judge issued a stark warning about what he called an β€œexistential threat to democracy” in a forceful first-person essay published Sunday. He revealed that he resigned from the bench to freely speak out against Trump,

Why I Am Resigning A federal judge explains his reasoning for leaving the bench.

accusing him of weaponizing the legal system, using it to pursue political enemies while shielding allies and major donors from investigation or accountability. Read what he wrote here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

When a Conservative Judge Declares the Republic Dead J. Michael Luttig’s words β€” in print and on camera β€” mark the moment when America’s rule of law gave way to rule by one man.

We have the ability and means to correct this. The big question is do we have the will power?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Trumpollini the Pompous P T Barnum of a man, a subhuman remorseless merchant of malarkey, loudly proclaiming his malice and depravity as a virtue has a special place in hell for his kind.

Democrats would do well to remember that trusting a party defined by deceit and bad faith isn’t just naΓ―ve, it’s dangerous to democracy itself.

I used to administer the oath of office to folks reenlisting in the Army. I never once had someone fail to actually state their own name. Oh, and release the files.

Iranian officials have told him that missile factories are working 24 hours a day, he said, and if there is another war, β€œthey hope to fire 2,000 at once to overwhelm Israeli defenses, not 500 over 12 days” as they did in June.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files),

isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do?

I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

Will This Photo Define the Trump Years? A Saturday Prompt

β€œIn this single moment, we got more visual evidence of Trump’s absence of compassion, indeed the indifference to the suffering of another human…What a tragedy that at a time of grave and great challenges a man like this occupies our White House.”

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Socialism doesn’t believe the government can do a better job than private industry.

Socialism believes that a government given a mandate can do the job with equity to all, and without a view toward making a profit.

Profiteering in healthcare, education, and the prison system is killing all of us.

It would be nice if polls or pundits credited the Democrat gains last Tuesday on something other than the shutdown or kitchen table issues - how about the president is nuts, I miss empathy, I don't like seeing pedophiles protected, or my fellow Trumpers are starting to creep me out - ?
