Not a lawyer, but guessing there is an inverse correlation between the credibility of a legal argument and a government's willingness to make that argument in public.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I never get tired of watching amoral assholes pander to the Right and still get fucked over by them www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito fairly and accurately represent the values and character of the people who put them there and who continue to support them.

"We can't ever let this happen again." I mean that with every fiber of my being. Democracy is not self-sustaining. It needs defenders. It needs truth-tellers. It needs people who will stand up — and stay standing — even when it’s hard, even when it's dangerous." open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

They are arresting judges now, ramping up a campaign of intimidation against the judicial branch. www.jsonline.com/story/news/b...

Reserving judgement until more information comes out, but I’ll say this: The evidence in this case better be very, very compelling. Arresting *judges* is a slippery slope and not a line that should be crossed arbitrarily.

They can't afford for him to tell his story.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Trump has damaged America forever. We're now viewed as an unreliable partner - business can never trust him and any government policy - our allies don't see us as an ally anymore - our enemies are emboldened. Trump destroyed our soft power advantage.

What a fucking idiot.

“What Vance meant is that this protected status for Haitians was itself illegitimate because he said so, and therefore it didn’t count. That’s what he means in Abrego Garcia’s case too: He “had no legal right” to be here because Trump and Vance have decreed it so.” Go read @gregsargent.bsky.social

All I can say tonight is that after two months of suffocating under these asshats it feels so good to watch a couple of us punch them in the face.

You simply lose track of their depravity at times. It's hard to keep up.

Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚

My joy is tempered by the utter devastation of NIH and CDC today at the hands of this sewer clown.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Between @booker.senate.gov's magnificent, soaring oratory and stamina plus the volunteers' effort up to the last hours in Wisconsin I have renewed faith in our fellow Americans' devotion to democracy. We can do this. But it takes all of us. Remember April 5 is coming up.

I know Cory Booker has done something great here because rightwing trolls are working overtime to downplay it.

Finally, after a relentless two-month beat down we finally can celebrate something.

Elon Musk went to Wisconsin where he said the "destiny of humanity" rested on the election. Tonight the voters agreed and rejected his and Trump's undemocratic vision for the country.

More Senator Booker. Less Senator Schumer. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov!

Magas do love their nepotism.

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

After years of intending to acquire F-35 fighter jets from the US, Turkey will now purchase 40 Typhoon jets from Britain instead. Turkey was one of the original 9 partner nations in the F-35 program and had plans to purchase 100 F-35s.

Donald Trump is a weak coward, who has never done anything difficult in his life, thinks all caps tweeting is tough, and threatens Allies because hes too scared of Iran/Russia/China And he wears MAKEUP CONSTANTLY. LOL

This post is great. I'd add that my ritual is that I try to do one thing a day to fight for democracy. And I share things you can do here: www.reddit.com/r/onethingto...

fuck all these fucking fucks

With NATO’s Secretary General sitting next to him, Trump said about annexing Greenland: “I think it will happen.” There is no bottom for this very stupid man.

HaHaHa! I grew up surrounded by these perverts and their rationalizing sheep.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

The Post Millennial published a letter that Ed Martin, the acting U.S. attorney in DC, sent to the dean of Georgetown Law. “It has come to my attention reliably that Georgetown Law School continues to teach and promote DEI. This is unacceptable. I have begun an inquiry into this…” 1/

This was always the math - it didn’t need a CBO scoring for people to realize this, but hopefully now they’ll wake up. The GOP is going after Medicaid and Medicare to give their rich friends a tax cut. Full stop.
