Either it was a lie then or it’s a lie now. Worst part, you can insert the topic from a laundry list of offenses and it still applies…

Raskin on Trump's corruption: "Whatever kind of varnish they had from the first administration is completely off now. They're not even pretending to do anything else ... it's a gangster state."

"Violence is never the solution"

Our Marines are the best lethal fighting force in the world. They generally have not been trained in non-lethal weapons or crowd control. Sending them into a domestic situation against civilians is dangerous and threatens the very apolitical nature of our Armed Forces.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

Fight the Empire.

They don’t have the right to dictate my life.

"It's a Yes or No Question"

Pat Bagley (@bagleycartoons.bsky.social) on the non-vexing mystery of why people don't want to visit the U.S. any longer.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

“I think it is shameful that you won’t even request to see if this young man is alive. His family has no idea, has no access to lawyers. I would hope that we would have that humanity. The humanity to just check if this young man is okay.” - @robertgarcia.bsky.social

The Republicans tax bill is here. It does NOT ban taxing tips. It does NOT ban taxing overtime. It does NOT ban taxing Social Security. Trump LIED to you — y’all got PLAYED.

The foreign emoluments clause was written to prevent exactly this. Blatantly unconstitutional

Those 3 silent K's........🤔

Tariff exemptions aren’t trade deals, they’re shakedowns.

Powell: "If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they are likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment."

I wish I knew my tribe. I wish I spoke their language. Let’s not repeat this by vilifying groups of people who are just trying to live and care for their families. Especially while letting a criminal break even more laws to enact that hatred. A plea from a man cut off from his own history.

Your School House Rock moment......

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

The Economy Only Works For One Group Of Individuals And Not The Rest Of Us….

Just say it.

I bet it’d be a bestseller.

Jeffries: "Healthcare is under assault by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and rubber-stamp Republicans in the House and Senate ... they know that their constituents aren't here for it, which is why Republicans have been on the run."

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

What would encourage you to add to the baby supply?

WTF?!?!!!!!!!!

It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.

🤔

The biggest reason that EVERY argument about how it was "legal" to deport him is wrong is he wasn't deported. He was renditioned. He was sent to prison in El Salvador. Immigration courts do not have the power to imprison people.

Mass deportations, no due process, suppressing the media and bulldozing Congress and the Judiciary. Fascism isn’t coming, it’s here. New Episode of The Breakdown tonight at 7 PM EST: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_JB...

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

Kaitlan Collins to Homan: "You say everything was done right here and I heard Stephen Miller in the Oval Office also argue he was lawfully deported. But this administration has admitted in court that he was mistakenly deported, that he should not have been deported."

Even LITERAL Nazis trying to sabotage America during World War II were given 30 days' notice before being deported under the Alien Enemies Act -- so they could get lawyers and have their day in court. Trump is giving people 24 hours. Or zero.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

Fun fact: the International Criminal Court at The Hague does NOT recognize any immunity based on official title or diplomatic status.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Trump and Bukele claim they can't release anyone from CECOT BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE: at least 9 detainees El Salvador released back to the US in the last 3 months NINE other people freed. Why not Abrego Garcia, who's there on an "administrative error"? DEMAND HIS FREEDOM NOW

Khanna: "This is not something the president will be able to spin. Either we're gonna see new factories come, or we're not. And tariffs just aren't going to do that."
