ADDERZ

This is the correct attitude. I wish more Dems would join Raskin. www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Like Lindsey Graham before him, Marco Rubio is currently defining what it means to abandon absolutely every principle one used to hold dear. Today he shrugged at the idea that we might need to “move on” from supporting Ukraine. But here’s how he used to sound:

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

🚨NEW: Soldiers prevent Senator Chris van Hollen from visiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Hollen & the Garcia family attorney were pulled over, after the military were ordered to stop them, 3km from CECOT. NO-ONE is able to verify if Garcia is still alive and, if he is, what condition he is in.

The ones who support dictatorship abroad support dictatorship here. The ones who lie for Putin lie for Trump.

Genuinely, Rolling Stone is doing some of the best and accurate reporting right now.👏 They put much of the mainstream press to shame.

Is this administration so weak that Donald Trump and JD Vance can’t ask El Salvador to return someone they deported in error & have confidence El Salvador will honor their request? That would be a shocking fall in status for the United States.

Antisemitism is real - which is one reason why the administration's cynical invocations of antisemitism to attack universities and higher education is so gross.

I know some of you might be getting sick of the dark clouds of morally degraded, culturally impoverished authoritarian decay descending on the entire country and its territories but at least everything is more expensive and shittier than it materially was previously

LOL

Serious question: why are legitimate news outlets still attending these things?

I'm guessing this is implicit and deliberate comment by whoever does the web layout?

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

On the other site, Conor Lamb had this great idea. Just do it!

WE DID IT, GUYS. We brought manufacturing back to America in just a few days! Yippee! 🥰

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

grannies out there telling the regime to fuck off while the cowardly billionaires and law firms grovel. just pathetic.

Incredible shit.

the Trans Pacific Partnership was good and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

"The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This is an unbelievable graph. Americans are more worried about job losses now, under Trump, than they were during the global financial collapse of 2007/08. Public opinion on US Government economic policy now has the LOWEST ratings since records began. (📸 FT)

Booker still at it. "I will yield for a question while retaining the floor." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tQn...

For all the talk of Trump having his pulse on the sentiments of American people, I think this is the kind of thing that reveals that, in fact, he doesn’t.

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

"It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies" wrote Dr Marks.

In-house counsel at companies across the country won't soon forget which firms fought and which firms folded. So much for being zealous advocates, Skadden!

Good for them. And good for us.

NEW: When President Biden issued an executive order to expand voter registration, Republicans called it an illegal Washington power grab. Now, the GOP is lauding President Trump's move to transform election laws by coercing states and bypassing Congress.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

So...they lied.

JFC the chutzpah of this guy. He's STILL trying to brazen it out. Sounds like maybe he got a little too used to performing for an audience that believes whatever it's told. The idea that the info in that thread wouldn't have been classified is laughable. It's not just false; it's absurd.

Witkoff was a fool for joining that chat from Moscow. But the entire charlatan national security team also chose to put him on that chat when they knew (or should have known) that he was in Moscow. A spy novel based on this level of cretinous behavior would be unbelievable.

The breadth of these executive orders makes me wonder if Republicans (or GOP leaning law firms, conservative colleges, GOP states with certain voting laws) can't imagine a future in which Dems regain the White House and just do their version of this stuff. Or maybe they assume no more elections?

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

OSSOFF: Director Ratcliffe, this was a huge mistake, correct? RATLIFFE: No OSSOFF: This is an embarrassment

A fantastically important postscript to this piece: David Graham asks Jeffrey Goldberg about possible retaliation, and Goldberg gives a perfect answer — with perfect swipes. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.
