This is just nuts.

Article I, Section 4 is about as clear as the Constitution gets: states run their elections Nowhere in that clause is there a role for Trump’s DOJ to play in California @democracydefendersfund.org & partners will keep defending a free & fair vote @ms.now👇 -TN

Sure, but whether he was officially onboarded is a footnote to the real crime of dismantling USAID: USAID was/is a statutorily mandated agency, and the executive branch cannot dismantle a statutorily mandated agency without an act of Congress

They wear their (performative) ignorance as a badge of honor In reality, they should be ashamed of themselves

Insane and ridiculous. They are public documents!

Democracy cannot flourish if the leader of one of the two parties insists on a "heads I win, tails you lose" approach to elections. As @mcopelov.bsky.social often quotes @adamprz.bsky.social: Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections bsky.app/profile/mcop...

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh

I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves with these lies in service of an unconstitutional war that Congressional Republicans have let happen by abdicating their Article I powers.

Not that long ago, three major lower-court rulings against the executive branch on three unrelated topics would’ve been a busy *month,* and outlets would’ve rushed to write up such a run of adverse rulings. Now, it doesn’t feel unusual when we get three on the same *day.* It’s all … exhausting.

And we know Trump is a stickler about proper handling of national security information…

Administration led by man who falsely claims "government weaponization" was used against him continues to ACTUALLY weaponize the government against his political opponents

"Guys like Obama don't see it. They don't see dirt, they don't see filth. He doesn't see broken ornaments...The White House, President Obama is a symbol of America. It has to be clean." Feels like the focus on hygiene and cleanliness might be standing in for something here!

This shit is so pitiful because you know Bessent would never normally enter a chain restaurant

This is really getting out of hand. Not just the ethnic cleansing but the fact the federal govt talks like this to the entire world x.com/ICEgov/statu...

We have a lot of other, more important issues at the moment, but one thing I hope we as a society can remedy once Trump exits the stage is the normalization of our leaders cursing in public Sure, we all swear time and again (or more), but there's a time and place

Which is why we should move as much of our energy structure to renewables (that are largely independent from shocks in global fossil fuels markets) as possible, right? Right?

The truest thing JD Vance has said in a long, long time.

What’s remarkable here isn’t just the sentiment, which is obviously weird and depressing, but that a media trained executive who has been doing interviews for decades thought this was an anecdote that would land well.

My second essay on how under Trump we’ve already gotten used to a level of fascism, authoritarianism, and corruption that would be unthinkable to us just years ago. Today: The corruption of the Justice Dept and *EIGHT* scandals on par with Watergate: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-s-ty...

The Article I branch should act to curb lawless behavior and abuses of executive branch authority

From the same article. HOW IS THIS A VICTORY?

Watch this with Trump at his side, remember the dissents in the birthright citizenship case — www.lawdork.com/p/six-opinio... — and understand there are no limits, no places they wouldn’t go.

Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while.

Ok now a lot of Brazilian mayors need to go to jail

Would be good if shirking your constitutional responsibility is an electoral liability.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

A rickety democracy isn’t going to keep me from a good Revolutionary War reenactment.

And they don’t know that it’s spelled with a “b.”

The Justice Department represents the United States of America, not the president. That’s what White House counsel is for. 

We all knew who Blanche was— he covered up the Epstein files. Republican Senators confirmed him anyway. The corruption of our Justice Department is on them.

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Heaven forbid we talk in earnestness about one of the darkest days in America's history and denounce efforts to once again interfere with the peaceful transfer of power Heaven forbid
