IF YOU ARE READING THIS: House Republicans are set to take the next step toward passage of their sprawling reconciliation bill at a Wednesday hearing scheduled to begin while most Americans are fast asleep. via @commondreams.org

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Have a great week!

Bravo ‪Steve Schmidt! This should be blaring across the country. @thewarningses.bsky.social

In a fiery moment on the House floor, Rep. Tom Suozzi just tore into the GOP’s reconciliation package—exposing contradiction after contradiction. If you watch one clip today, make it this. 🎯🔥

"An outgoing Colorado sheriff is frustrated that Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking which departments are getting involved with 287g to help with immigration—Sheriff Bill Masters saying the Trump administration is attempting to federalize offices “by intimidation.”" from Ali Bradly on Twitter

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights: “Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

A @reuters.com investigation identified 11 judges whose families faced threats after they ruled against President Trump. Many have come after billionaire Elon Musk attacked them on his social media platform. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Fox News' Jesse Watters met with "the DOGE boys" for their "nightly meeting," including... Big Balls. The meeting was led by Elon Musk, who the DOJ has insisted in court does not lead DOGE. I did not see Amy Gleason at the meeting. cc: @annabower.bsky.social

This is the story of a pathological liar who was immunized by the Supreme Court, is drunk on power and thinks a journalist should not confront his obvious lies. It’s all there in a two-minute exchange about an obviously fabricated photo. www.americaamerica.news/p/trumps-ris...

NEW: These judges ruled against Trump. Then their families came under attack. My latest with @nedmparker1.bsky.social @bypetereisler.bsky.social @lindasoreports.bsky.social @nateraymond.bsky.social www.reuters.com/investigatio...

At a time when we are all hurting, the GOP budget cuts everything that helps us and supports our infrastructure m, to pay for MORE tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s the bad news. They are simultaneously making it impossible for us to vote them out. That’s the catastrophic news.

NEW: Judge Xinis DENIES an additional request by the government to further stay discovery in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case.

Huge! The first ruling ordering ICE to release a green card holder put in immigration court because Marco Rubio declared his advocacy a "threat to foreign policy." Mr. Mahdawi is a Buddhist who went on 60 Minutes in 2023, where he condemned antisemitism and Hamas and called for peace.

The President is attacking me because I filed Articles of Impeachment, asking “What the hell did I do?” It's all in my seven articles of impeachment: 1. Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. 2. Dismantling federal agencies.

Yesterday, @sddfund.bsky.social joined a coalition of labor orgs, non-profits & cities to file the biggest lawsuit yet against the Trump admin His executive overreach is unconstitutional & un-American—we’ll keep meeting him with rule-of-law shock & awe I’ll discuss @ 10am @anacabrera.bsky.social

The estimable @annabower.bsky.social with a very important #DOGE story for all you people who care about the Appointments Clause and who's actually running your federal government agencies: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

It’s important to understand that this is the Trump administration’s plan. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Judge Hannah Dugan, two-year-old V.L.M. They are not outliers, exceptions, or aberrations. This is their plan. New, at Law Dork —>

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

Trump promised to be a dictator on day 1 & he kept going No wonder he's been slammed almost 100 times by the courts—incl 6 injunctions today! I'll discuss @ 8:15pm Et @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Trump is "soft-launching" his third term. Forget that he's trampling the Constitution. Once his MAGA defenders start wearing these hats around, it begins the process of normalizing the idea. That's the goal. That's the tactic. It's authoritarian marketing.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

This is just a stellar paragraph, and captures the baseline problem I’ve long hard with conservative arguments against affirmative action as well as anything I’ve read in a long time. The playing field was never level.

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Some arroyo lupine to start the week! This plant is a favorite of bumblebees in my yard. calscape.org/Lupinus-succ...

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has handed over control of the Department of the Interior to Tyler Hassen, a former oil executive and Musk staffer. Hassen, who came to the agency through the so-called DOGE, now has broad authority to cut costs and consolidate operations across the department,

Thinking of our military members & intel officers who have to serve under the reckless & incompetent Pete Hegseth. They deserve better. Sharing war plans in a Signal chat w/ his brother & wife? This is a nat’l security crisis not just a headline. As I’ve said before—how many more chats are there?

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

Corporate sponsors for the usually apolitical event held on the White House South Lawn include tech giants Meta, YouTube and Amazon.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

We need to talk about impeachment EVERY DAY until it becomes a foregone conclusion. Everybody needs to start saying it. The more you proclaim it the more it will take hold. Congress needs to get a clue and we're going to help them out here.

The cruelty is the point. The banal, vicious, performative cruelty. Turns out ‘anti-woke’ just meant anti-decency, anti-humanity & anti-rule of law.

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

I have so much adrenaline and anxiety after reading this that I feel like I need to go run a half marathon or something Whew, what an opinion

And many are outright geniuses, and engage in more productive activity in an hour than RFK Jr. will in his entire life.

Just to be clear, I'm advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia

📌

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Bondi grotesquely claims that Abrego Garcia's wife and child are better off with him gone
