Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

#ProudBlue MSM is normally keen to be perceived as "neutral" politically. The Trump regime punishes any perceived criticism, & has exerted pressure on major media owners. The result is they underplay the extent to which he is destroying our democracy and our economy. newrepublic.com/article/1987...

The Media’s Urge to Be “Fair” to Trump Is Killing the Republic
Seventy percent of Republicans understand that Trump’s tariffs will raise prices. Why is the press acting like they’re a huge success?

Trump admits that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young girls from him at Mar-a-Lago’s “spa” and brought them into his child sex trafficking ring. This includes Virginia Giuffre who died by suicide in April.

I realize this may seem like a distinction without a difference to a lot of people, but Bondi *can’t* fire a U.S. Attorney appointed by the district court under 28 U.S.C. § 546(d). Only President Trump can. We went through this with Geoffrey Berman and SDNY during Trump I…

To look at this and still argue the rightwing majority was seriously and justifiably concerned about universal injunctions rather than treating Democratic power completely different than the Trump regime because they are opposed to the former and very much aligned with the latter is just silly.
