What a POS

Mark Zaid, Esq@markzaidesq.bsky.social

This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.

Absurd and outrageous map would lead to a 7-1 GOP margin in a state that is often split about 60-40 GOP by creating an absurd district 5 that spans about two thirds of the way across the state, 200 miles from West to East Oppose this.

This is an unconstitutional and authoritarian power grab. The constitution grants power over federal elections to the states and Congress - not the president.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections, a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws, which he has long attacked and falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.

The Trump plan for Gaza includes the relocation of the entire population - 2 million people - a US “trusteeship” and the creation of a tourism and tech hub. Landowners get digital tokens worth $5,000 and rent subsidies. Investors are promised 4x return on $100 billion.

washingtonpost.comGaza postwar plan envisions ‘voluntary’ relocation of entire populationPresident Donald Trump and international partners are discussing plans to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza. One would establish U.S. control and pay Palestinians to leave.

This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.

Trump declares intention to issue an Executive Order mandating Voter ID for all votes, restricts mail-in voting to exceptions, and insists on paper ballots only.

His Mea Culpa: "It’s all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I’ve always said, life is first come, first served,” he claimed." If you have any business dealings with this slime ball, keep this in mind. HE comes first; HE gets served first.

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

The Trump administration is undertaking an unprecedented strategy to try to undermine our elections. They are doing so by rewriting election rules, targeting election officials, supporting election deniers, and retreating from protecting voting rights. bit.ly/4l1lUPP

Trump has not made any public appearances in the last several days. His public schedule shows no public events or appearances scheduled on August 29 and 30. Makes you wonder…

Alan Dershowitz has become a querulous, lawless buffoon and serial abuser of the legal system. This lawsuit was indefensible and a contemptible example of the sentiment “I am famous and important, you can’t disrespect me.”

He rose to power through crying about censorship from the medical establishment. And now Vinay Prasad is spending his time as an FDA official censoring his critics.

Our client, Mohsen Mahdawi, just finished his citizenship interview when ICE arrested him in retaliation for his pro-Palestinian activism. Now, the government is asking an appeals court to re-detain him for no other reason than his speech. We won’t back down from protecting our right to dissent.

Prolly pocketed some of that after he lied about the costs.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

Every sick, evil, thing Republicans claim Democrats will do to citizens becomes a horrible reality under Republicans. Guns, health care, the economy or our environment... the GOP has proven time and time again that they are a Death Cult.
