All it would take is for a bunch of these CEOs to confront Trump in front of the world and tell him he's unfit to run a hot-dog stand, and his presidency would be over. Seriously. But none of them has the balls to do it.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

This is what happens at a Mike Lawler town hall when constituents ask him questions. Truly appalling and one more reason I will wake up tomorrow more energized than ever to defeat him next November.

Congress is broken because too many people in power are comfortable doing nothing. I’m running for Congress to stand for YOU instead of the few. We need new people in office that fight for you, not just their re-election.

Boasberg gets the DOJ to confirm the 5 individual named plaintiffs, which were the subject of his first TRO, are still here. Boasberg asks "How many planes departed the US at any point on Saturday carrying any people being deported solely on the basis of the proclamation." DOJ refuses to answer!!

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

Why? a. It shows you’re not afraid of him. b. It shows everyone else they shouldn’t be afraid of him. c. It causes him to lose control and show everyone how weak (and deranged) he is.

Vermont showed up—protesting JD Vance at his vacation spot after he brought shame on this country. Vance had to be moved to an undisclosed location. Dude constantly trashes blue states but thought it was a good idea to vacation in one. Maybe next time, pick a red state—or better yet, Russia!

📌NOTE: Immediately after the vile attack on Zelensky by Putin's puppets Friday, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should have called a joint press conference and explained to the American public the significance, heinousness and danger of that sickening surrender. 📌They should STILL be talking now.
