THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! she shouts into the void

Do you realize that "Gaza Riviera" Trump has completely lost his shit and is probably now legally insane, right?

The Justice Department treated the seditious coup plotters like J6 was a fraternity prank, and here we are.

Even drunk-out-of-his-mind Boris Yeltsin would have grabbed a small army of supporters, the entire press corps, and blocked the entrance to USAID to prevent Musk's summer interns from their incipient coup This is a "Car 54, Where Are You?" moment for the Democrats

It's time for democrats & America-loving elected officials to stop the ridiculous circus act & tell people the reality of what is happening. Stop pretending like these nominees are serious enough to give them time to speak - lie - about what their true purpose will be. /4

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Would love to understand why every Democrat is not out there every second of the day explaining in plain English that Donald Trump has declared war on cancer patients.

Six days into Trump's monarchical reign of terror, the Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board refuses to cower or bend its knee Today, a powerful condemnation of Trump's pardon of violent Jan. 6 domestic terrorists as a gross abuse of presidential power www.inquirer.com/opinion/edit...

Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons make a mockery of American democracy and the rule of law | Editorial

Faced with choosing between the president and the Constitution, many elected officials, judges, business leaders, conservative media moguls, and MAGA supporters are cheering Trump on.

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

The entire federal government should be sued for violating the civil rights act and employment discrimination laws for firing any black person they can get their hands on by calling them all “DEI” hires.

This is good, but people who care about human rights should be protesting outside the offices of Democrats who vote for this terrible bill and let them know they'll be primaried out of their job in 2026 if they continue to collaborate

I have all of the same 'feels,' especially the second part. But I can't check out. I don't want to go to my grave thinking that when fascism, or whatever this is, came to America that I said nothing, did nothing. I know I might be totally marginalized soon but I don't really care

A great piece from @imillhiser.bsky.social explaining that Supreme Court's made up presidential immunity could apply to the New York case. The immunity is based on the whims of justices who are pro-Trump, so they can absolutely make up some new shit to help him again. www.vox.com/scotus/39405...

vox.com

Trump asks the Supreme Court to place him even further above the law

Trump is appealing to the same six Republicans who already ruled that he has broad immunity from the law. So he’s probably going to win.
