Since SCOTUS never truly defined what constitutes an official act regarding presidential immunity, what will John Roberts legacy be as these cases reach the highest court? Will he choose to uphold the Constitution, or will he green light the consolidation of powers to the executive branch?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Senate Democrats— A vote AGAINST the Republican CR isn’t a vote to shut down the government—they’re in charge and need your votes. But a vote FOR the Republican CR is a vote to allow Elon Musk to continue shutting down the government and nullifying the role of Congress.

Vote NO!! It doesn't put pressure on the Democrats,it forces the Republicans to negotiate in good faith. Why vote for funding we oppose?

The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023.   Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k.  Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?

Seems like the republicans are good with peace at any cost when dealing with Russia. Maybe they don't remember how Trump negotiated with the Taliban in Afghanistan and how that all worked out.

Image says: We remain committed to non-violence. 50501: The People’s Movement, Official Statement on Violence and Weapons

50501 is a peaceful movement dedicated to positive change through nonviolent action. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, threats of violence, or the suggestion of using weapons in connection with our movement. There is absolutely no place for such rhetoric in our spaces.

To be completely clear: Weapons are not permitted at any of our events. Our mission is rooted in peaceful advocacy, and we will not allow any actions that could endanger our supporters, the public, or law enforcement.

Furthermore, we have a zero-tolerance policy regarding discussions of firearms, violence, or any form of incitement on our channels and platforms. Anyone who violates this policy will be immediately banned. There will be no warnings, no second chances.
In all of our events, we have worked in accordance with local law as it pertains to local gatherings and protesting, including pulling permits. We expect all of our supporters to conduct themselves lawfully and responsibly, and disavow anything advocating for disruption or violence.
We urge everyone to remain peaceful, lawful, and committed to the principles of nonviolent action. 50501 stands for justice, progress, and the power of the people—peacefully. Let’s keep it that way.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

It would appear Trump is wresting the power of the purse away from Congress so that he can distribute funds as he sees fit, and use them as leverage to have states comply with his orders. We're in a full blown kleptocracy.

This also includes *veterans*, including, I am told, at least some fully qualified wildland firefighters with actual fire experience. Per a source with knowledge: “I want everyone to know that they are firing veterans, fully qualified and trying to serve their country again in civil service.”

I have confidence the courts will uphold the Constitution and put the power of the purse firmly back in Congress where it belongs. Not so confident that Trump and Elon will obey the courts decisions.
