"[M]ost Republicans [in Congress] know exactly what’s happening... but fear of Trump’s wrath silences them more effectively than their conservative ideology ever unified them."
Call your congresscritters every day. Demand they impeach and convict him.
It should be, but I've thought that about other transgressions, and Congress is still fast asleep. Call your Congresscritters! Daily!

The DNC should appoint a Shadow Cabinet whose members give frequent statements and press conferences to counteract Republican lies and lawlessness.
Several prominent figures have called for this, including Tim Walz, Elissa Slotkin, Timothy Snyder, and Thom Hartmann.
If you live in a Republican district (as I do), call your representative today and demand that they oppose this bill, which cuts Medicaid & essential services in order to let the wealthy avoid paying their fair share. Then call them again tomorrow!
Reporters should be challenging her loudly, disrupting the presser when she continues to lie. I get that there are concerns about losing access, but surely there are some who would take one for the team.
Latest idiocy from the infantile orange clown.
Republicans Block Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Because It Doesn't Take Healthcare Away From Enough People https://twp.ai/4innmy
Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.
When shooting your dog in the face isn’t the worst thing you ever did.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants last month in its rushed effort to expel them to El Salvador in the middle of the night (which SCOTUS blocked). Alito and Thomas dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

"For the bottom 60% of U.S. households, a 'minimal quality of life' is out of reach."

Next week's cover of @newyorker.com, out this morning.
I'm tempted to be snarky and say wow, so the rich have discovered that money doesn't buy happiness? But no, the point here is that they've failed to discover it. They think they're unhappy because they don't have enough. Maybe some grounding in Buddhism is indicated, or even Christianity.
Ya think 🤔
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Case in point… they create a narrative out of thin air… and it’s easy to do.
If you do an image search for “ms13 knuckle tattoos”, this is what you’ll see.
Kilmar’s tattoo has no connection to gang affiliation, it’s just symbols meaningful to him, and it’s a very common trend at the moment.
Yes, because if they can assert Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a gang member and ship him to a concentration camp without having to prove anything in court, they can do it to you and me too. The (lack of due) process is exactly the same.
Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.
BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there.
