Trump Destroyed the EV Industry, Just When We Need It Most Those gas guzzlers he loves sound a lot less appealing when filling them costs $4 a gallon.

In the 1970s, American automakers lost a great deal of market share to foreign competition. This time, it's our own president throttling innovation in the American auto industry.

Opinion | The Justice Department Wants to Make It Safe for Government Lawyers to Lie

Too much to keep track of, but don't sleep on AG Bondi's new proposed rule that would let DOJ lawyers avoid key ethics checks that prohibit lying to court. Ratcheting up the assault on courts & the reality-based world at the same time. Mine in today's NYT. (Gift Link)

Again, he doesn’t follow laws or court orders, & so the solution cannot be more laws & more court orders that he will also simply not follow. Everyone is kidding themselves that there is another option aside from immediate impeachment & removal.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limit The Trump administration has detained more than 900 children — including a boy with severe autism — for longer than allowed under a decades-old legal settlement.

“One parent told us that their 5-year-old asked, ‘Are we bad people? Are they going to kill us here? That’s what these children are feeling as time goes on.”

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

This is astounding and so completely expected. Incompetence is leading this administration in every facet.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Same. I haven’t stepped foot in one for months.

Right-Wing Attacks on James Talarico Are a Reminder That Christian Extremism Is Official Republican Policy The reaction to Talarico's Christian rhetoric demonstrates the ways in which far-right theology is about underwriting misogyny and racism.

Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.

Some have even called it blasphemy.

But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

On This Day in History: March 12, 1837
Robert Southey told 20-year-old Charlotte Brontë that literature shouldn’t be a woman’s life’s work. In 1847, Brontë replied by publishing Jane Eyre. History is full of men projecting their own limits on women.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

"We had a bunch of people who bought into this bullshit line that Donald Trump would be an antiwar candidate, Donald the Dove, it was bullshit, the people who fell for it should apologize today or hang their heads in shame." - me.

Our full discussion today: zeteo.com/p/iran-epste...

The real reason for Trump's Iran bombing Trump is nothing if not self-interested. His attack against Iran helps him and his party more than meets the eye.

"Trump doesn’t care about election interference. So why would he invoke Iran meddling in our election as he bombs the country? Put simply, he is trying to validate the claim that our elections are not secure as a pretext to usurp control of our elections in the name of national security.”

"[The Republican Party] finally got their man to help them do [a regime change war in Iran]. A mentally desiccated, elderly racist game show host."

I’m starting to think that maybe TRUMP is in the Epstein Files.

Lawrence Jones said that six presidents had tried and failed to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. I've included a reminder about international agreement (JCPOA) Obama brokered to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon in 2015.

I truly hope that House Republican leadership protecting a sexual predator like Rep. Tony Gonzales for the rest of the year ends up costing them 5 more seats in Nov. They should be asked about this relentlessly every single day until he’s gone.

📌I guess it wasn't enough for the Trump regime to murder innocent Minnesota people in cold blood in their streets.
Now they want to strip their Medicaid funding so thousands can die slowly.
These Republicans are absolutely soulless and grotesque.

And pro-life, my ass.

Judge blasts ICE ‘sloppiness’ for claiming 4-year-old kid had a marijuana conviction Judges are routinely blasting government lawyers and DHS over missteps and failing to keep up with court orders

Judge blasts ICE ‘sloppiness’ for claiming 4-year-old kid had a marijuana conviction

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Beautiful work.

It is notable that Andrew has been arrested for 'misconduct in public office,' which is precisely what the US Supreme Court decided no American president can ever be charged with.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?

You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.

So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.
