Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

The weather forecast for Trump's parade is 50% chance of scatter thunderstorms. Let's hope it literally "rains on his parade" - causing fewer people to show up, poor optics, and cancelling Trump's favorite part: the Army's parachute jump where they will present Trump an American flag after the jump.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

These are the Democrats of the future if we are going to survive as a democracy. These are the people trying to do something and not sitting back, letting it happen, and sending an occassional "strongly-worded letter". Get rid of Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and sadly even Hakeem Jeffries.

A huge step from HHS that is at odds with science showing significant risks for young children and pregnant women — and that directly contradicts *the FDA's own publication* from last week listing pregnancy as a high-risk condition that would qualify people for this fall's Covid vaccine

A tweet from HHS secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.:

Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it's common sense and it's good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS's promise to Make America Healthy Again.

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?

Federal judges are all rulling against Trump's executive orders. Either all these judges - appointed by Democrats, Republicans, and even Trump himself - are conducting a "judicial coup" as the Trump administration put it, or... now hear me out here... Trump is actually corrupt and violating the law.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is?

The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.
