it's also really important to spread the "this is illegal" message as far as you can because the majority of people are not exposed to it! most people do not even know the government is doing the illegal thing it's doing, let alone that it's illegal. when they learn about it they get mad!

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

It’s completely uncabined narcissism. Trump has spent his entire life indulging in extraordinary narcissistic fantasies about himself, but now the entire elite of the United States has convinced itself that it’s savvy to indulge those fantasies, so they metastasize into utter megalomania.

Trump: "They call me the president of Europe. Which is an honor."

Any Democrat could go after his utter derangement on foreign policy, his betrayal of Ukraine, his threats towards Canada and Greenland. Just show up I these countries and crap all over him. There is absolutely no domestic support for this stuff and their failure to attack him shows how much of 1/2

Never forget. Helping build the Illinois Holocaust Museum was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The lessons we can learn from survivors like Sam are too relevant today — and why the Satellite Campus we're opening is a reminder of our responsibility to speak up.

The left should be making Russ Vought own this 24/7 in very simple language: Vought is making it easier for scammers to target you and your grandma.

Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

Gosh, maybe that's why we're supposed to have due process.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

FORTY MILLION DOLLARS to detain 400 migrants at Gitmo. That's $100,000 a person just to hold them for a few days — when they could far more easily be held in the United States! Just a couple weeks ago it was reported to have cost $16 million. So the price tag is skyrocketing.

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin. Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end? This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.

Cut off my maga family today and even though it's a win for my peace, I never wanted it to come to this and it hurts that I lost them to a cult. They were all raised in a toxic system and stayed toxic. I've always wanted more, challenged myself and went out in the world to find my healing. ❤️‍🩹

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!
