If this is not an impeachable abuse of power by Trump et al the Constitution is meaningless! www.justsecurity.org/146665/court...

It is striking how Republicans are more interested in cultural issues than economic issues. They’d rather go broke than allow transgenders to exist, or God forbid participate in sports of the opposite sex. They also love conspiracy theories of any sort. Pathetic.

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

It’s here. Barbara McQuade was the first person I heard refer to Trump’s running the government like a mafia boss. She truly knows because she’s prosecuted a lot of of them. When I learned she was writing a book I could only wait. Now that it’s in my hands, it will be devoured quickly. More soon.

Reading one of the most important books I will read this year. Got it yesterday will finish it today. I want to encourage all to read it to better understand how we can deal with political liars. Andrew has answers!

Ignorance is bliss in the Trump White House.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

Powerful statements pulling no punches regarding the murders on the high seas by American fighters following illegal orders apparently with a faux justification by DOJ lawyers who should be disbarred. Ambassador Eisen is raising the key issue: can Americans now get away with murder under Trump?

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Amazing Epstein email from George Conway gtconway3 ® on Threads: If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath. @realdonaldtrump

Great Speaker and great lady — the personification of a public servant.

BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/10.09.25...

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Wonderful analysis addressing what to watch at the High Court in the coming months…. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you missed Trump‘s speech to the military leadership, or have been snoozing since he resumed Office, it appears that he and roughly 30% of the voting population that support him, want the 70% that does not to give up our liberties and freedom. If we don’t, he will take them using our military.

Important work in progress….

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

More on TRUMP TARIFFS: I have 6 AI platforms on my iPhone. Perplexity & ChatGPT5 do a decent job with legal analysis. AI’s bottom line is the Supreme Court (with CJ Roberts the swing vote) will strike down Trump‘s tariffs in a 5/4 decision. A good test for political/legal prognostication by AI.

Big ruling against Trump's blatantly illegal imposition of tariffs, which are taxes on every American. Working my way through the 127 pages of opinion, so more later. THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL, WITH NO LESS THAN THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AT ISSUE! See: share.google/0v8nPm966u0H...

Donald wins: SMALLEST MAN EVER PRESIDENT! www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/p...

When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that the politicized US Supreme Court under CJ John Roberts is just another political body appended to the executive branch. The six conservatives on that court are in fact radicals.

This is not a false alarm! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Bj4QGJ/

ICYMI -- DON'T! California plans to end Donald's attack on American democracy!

Elon makes clear everyday that he doesn’t want a level playing field so he pouts & shouts when he doesn’t get his way. This is not a lawsuit he can win. The case will get tossed for it can’t survive a motion to dismiss IF HE FILES IT! (BTW a really stupid headline!) stocks.apple.com/A-ZRORopiRrq...

The mainstream media is way too silent on Trump‘s enablers, his staff that is cooking up all these weird and radical schemes. For Pete’s sake, Trump doesn’t even know what he might be doing, let alone how to execute these absurd authoritarian ploys. EXPOSE THEM. Some are soluble in sunlight. :-)

I always thought export taxes were unconstitutional. With Trump, the constitution is irrelevant. Trump-Nvidia Chip Deal Is ‘Far Beyond Uncharted Waters.’ Expect Legal Scrutiny. www.barrons.com/articles/nvi...

Bill Webster was a true American public servant. He gave his life for others, and making America a better place. Nice to see the NYT give him the front page and above the fold today. RIP, Bill. William H. Webster, Who Ran Both the F.B.I. and the C.I.A., Dies at 101 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...
