Judge Boasberg finds there is probable cause to pursue criminal contempt charges against the Trump administration officials who disobeyed his order to stop the deportation of immigrants to El Salvador If the Supreme Court covers for them now, it will be a severe blow to democracy for years to come

JUDGE BOASBERG: “.. The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders. .. To permit such officials to freely ‘annul the judgments of the courts ..’ would make ‘a solemn mockery’ of ‘the constitution itself.’” 🇺🇸 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Cory Booker is 100% with us: “What other Americans are doing, they’re not waiting for us in Congress to lead. They’ve decided to take matters into their own hands and do something different. Those people were demanding that I catch up—to try and do like they’re doing.” He gets it, folks.

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

“In his nearly twenty years as Chief Justice, Roberts has espoused a sweeping vision of Presidential authority—sometimes with language so broad as to make Congress and the courts appear small by comparison.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

newyorker.comHow John Roberts Has Empowered a Lawless PresidencyThe Chief Justice’s rebuke of Donald Trump over his calls to impeach judges obscures Roberts’s own role in fostering the destruction in Washington.

Myself, I have NEVER DOUBTED that Trump is a Russian asset ... for well over 15 years. The evidence over here and in Russia has been overwhelming. Everytime I hear about people "considering the possibility" I can only shake my head in disbelief.

If Trump was really concerned about stopping the flow of Fentanyl & undocumented migrants into US He could have passed the bipartisan border bill instead of starting a trade war which will cost consumers & taxpayers unnecessary billions

By some reports, Trump spent $46,000,000,000 bailing out farmers in 2020 as a result of his #TrumpTariffs For perspective, that's the equivalent of what was spent on Legislative & Judicial Branches + Commerce + EPA + TANF + NSF + Ag Research + Food Safety + Forestry www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

In 2023, I was able to welcome Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to the U.S. Capitol and say “America stands strong with you and your people.” I meant it then and I mean it now. What happened at the White House yesterday was an absolute embarrassment. 🧵1/4

Sen. Chris Murphy: What you watched was American power being destroyed in the world as everybody watches President Trump become a lapdog for a brutal dictator in Moscow.

It took just one month for the orange felon and MAGA to turn the United States into a shithole fascist country and it’ll only get worse from here on out. This month has felt like a year.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Schiff: This is not who we are. We don’t bully an ally. We don’t take the side of a dictator. We’re just not what we saw displayed by the President of the United States today. I would say to our allies around the world that what they witnessed today might be Donald Trump, but it is not America.

We need to remember what happened in the Oval Office today. We need to remember Helsinki. We need to remember Jan. 6. We need to remember family separation. We need to remember the classified documents in the Mar-a-Lago bathroom. They want us to forget. So we must remember – and stay angry.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
