"The journalists aboard AF1 had no idea they were being used as decoys amid an assassination threat. If something happened to them, Trump's response would be as unfeeling as his response to the deaths of service members in his pointless Iran war— which is why this threat existed in the first place."
Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US
Trump crashes out and says he no longer wants to control Kennedy Center as Judge orders his name taken down.
Judge probes whether Trump committed fraud on the court.

NEW: Federal judge ends Kennedy Center name change, bars two-year closure plans for now.
“Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.” Trump responded ... as one would expect.
This evening, at Law Dork:
🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸
BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
NEW: In a brief filed with SCOTUS, civil rights groups contend that under the court’s own history of applying “the Purcell principle,” it is too late into the election season to suspend it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Happy May Day to the people who keep this country going. Today, workers took to the streets demanding that this country put workers over billionaires. Workers are the backbone of this country — and this economy doesn’t work without them.
If trump now needs a ballroom because of a shooting incident, then do we now build ballroom bunkers for our kids in schools?
Or… i know this sounds crazy … maybe we could focus on getting rid of guns.

David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.

In the first moments of his State of the Union, Trump said "our enemies are scared" -- does he mean the American people who are enduring a lawless and violent ICE force brutalizing us in the streets of our cities?
Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."
When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come. Not only is she supporting the SAVE Act, but during the Biden administration she opposed the For the People Act and the Joe Manchin compromise bill — the Freedom to Vote Act.
About to go to lunch in New York City. I will be enjoying a tall glass of GOP tears.
Proud of the great work by the lawyers at my firm handling this crucial case. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...
Trump recently suggested that he is getting ready to issue a new anti-voting executive order. Last time he issued one, we sued and won. If he does it again, we will sue and win. Trump knows this. It is why he and his allies hate and attack me.
I will never back down or stop fighting for democracy.
@barackobama.bsky.social praises those who protest ICE "with the truth and with cameras and with peaceful protest and with shining a light on the behavior that, in the past, we've seen in authoritarian countries and dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."
After just a few short weeks, our effort to impeach Kristi Noem is already close to success. You did that.
Now let’s keep up the pressure. Tell loser Mike Johnson and the rest of the cowards in Congress we’re not stopping until they finish the job:
Ilhan Omar was attacked because Donald Trump relentlessly spewed vile, racist invectives about her and Somalia
And the feckless MAGA sycophants in Congress constantly amplified his bigotry
Yes, we must dismantle ICE, firing Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in the process
But MAGA must go with them
REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”
Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela.
We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.
Bondi: "What happened in Minnesota -- we had 6 prosecutors who suddenly decided they didn't want to support the men and women in ICE. One of them was busy doing a photo shoot with the New York Times while ICE was out there risking their lives ... breaking news tonight: I fired them all."
You can introduce articles of impeachment at any time, Zoe.
You can also work to convince your Republican colleagues that illegal wars aren't good for their electoral prospects. Stop acting like you have no agency here.
Trump illegally attacked Venezuela without constitutionally required approval. Trump says it's to take their oil and that his cabinet members will run the country.
Will any Republican members of the Senate or House finally stand up for the Constitution? Have they no shame?
Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

No tears shed for Maduro, an illegitimate authoritarian ruler. But what comes next? Trump unilaterally sent American servicemembers to remove a foreign ruler and his plan is that the U.S. will run Venezuela?
There are serious concerns about the risk this poses to American lives + national security.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.
