Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
From Cato colleague Brandan Buck: In no subsequent era in American history has constitutional liberty come under as much pressure as in World War I. A new book recounts the Wilson administration's vicious propaganda campaign against three anti-war groups as well as Sen. Robert LaFollette.
No religious test for holding office.
No government establishment of religion.
No government interference with the free exercise of religion.
There's a reason Jefferson coined the phrase, guys.
I know this really isn’t the point, but what is that three-horned thing floating above him?
more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out
Why would Iran relinquish control of a strait the US can’t take from it or a nuclear program the US can’t stop? Iran has INCREASED its demands from before the war, because we’ve proven we are incapable of defeating the country in the ways we care about. Maybe the greatest US humiliation in history.
Reddit has been ordered to appear before a grand jury as the Trump admin tries to unmask anonymous online critics. “We should be very, very, very concerned that they’ve now taken one of these to a grand jury,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @theintercept.com. theintercept.com/2026/04/10/...

It take four justices to vote to take a case. They never should have taken this case.
"She suggested that it was legal to prosecute an Office Depot employee for declining to print flyers for a Charlie Kirk memorial vigil. She made utterly bogus claims about hate speech.... Bondi was simply unmoored from any sort of coherent constitutional view" of free expression. Not good in an AG!
I think we all know Bondi was fired because the Dow is below 50,000.
Wow, this is frightening: 95,000 scientists and researchers, gone. Brilliant minds no longer working to protect, help, and save people and the planet.
Don't take this sitting down.

I’d really like to understand this. Does he think everyone around him is stupid? Is he stupid? Did he forget? Does he just not care? Is he playing a game? Whatever the reason, I see it as exhibit no. 1 billion that he is not a credible person.
New: The Pentagon has indicated that NYT journalists will be given press credentials tomorrow, Status has learned, after a judge ruled the department’s media restrictions unconstitutional
Men need to women up and know when to help.
This is the domestic violence hand signal.
Mark Kelly in New Hampshire … a long way from Arizona. Maybe he’s announcing 2028 run for WH soon …
I represent individuals fired by Trump Administration for words they posted on social media or said in private settings. Govt often claims statement is "disrespectful and unprofessional, and unbecoming of a federal employee.”
Trump's post is now my Exhibit #1.
No one on earth looks as happy as him and all of us are jealous he can just fly the fuck away from all this horseshit
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ) THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY, et al., Plaintiffs, V. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, et al., Defendants. Civil Action No. 25-04218 (PLF) ) OPINION A primary purpose of the First Amendment is to enable the press to publish what it will and the public to read what it chooses, free of any official proscription. Those who drafted the First Amendment believed that the nation's security requires a free press and an informed people and that such security is endangered by governmental suppression of political speech. That principle has preserved the nation's security for almost 250 years. It must not be abandoned now.
In short, the defendants have not shown that the Department is entitled to a remand without vacatur. Accordingly, the Court will vacate the challenged provisions of the Policy. IV. CONCLUSION The Court recognizes that national security must be protected, the security of our troops must be protected, and war plans must be protected. But especially in light of the country's recent incursion into Venezuela and its ongoing war with Iran, it is more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is doing so that the public can support government policies, if it wants to support them; protest, if it wants to protest; and decide based on full, complete, and open information who they are going to vote for in the next election. As Justice Brandeis correctly observed, "sunlight is the most powerful of all disinfectants." N.Y. Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 305 (1964) (Goldberg, J., concurring) (footnote omitted).
For the foregoing reasons, the Court will GRANT the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment and DENY the defendants' cross-motion for summary judgment. An Order consistent with this Opinion will issue this same day. SO ORDERED. PAUL L. FRIEDMAN United States District Judge DATE: 3120|26
BREAKING: Federal judge tosses out provisions in Pentagon’s new press policy — which most longtime reporters refuse to sign on to — as violations of the First and Fifth Amendments.
Background: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-is-bar...
Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Excellent and important win for freedom of the press!
“In sum, the undisputed evidence reflects the Policy’s true purpose and practical
effect: to weed out disfavored journalists—those who were not, in the Department’s view, ‘on
board and willing to serve,’ … —and replace them with news entities that are.
That is viewpoint discrimination, full stop.”
screenshot of executive order: "Section 1. Purpose. For over a century, the Army-Navy Game, known as “America’s Game,” has stood as a symbol of excellence and the American spirit. Now, the recent and potentially ongoing expansion of the College Football Playoffs (CFP) and other postseason college football games threatens to encroach upon the second Saturday in December — a date traditionally reserved exclusively for “America’s Game.” Such scheduling conflicts weaken the national focus on our Military Service Academies and detract from a morale-building event of vital interest to the Department of War. Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that no college football game, specifically college football’s CFP or other postseason games, be broadcast in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army‑Navy Game. "
Hey look! The Free-Speechiest-Administration-in-History! wants to ban broadcasters from airing college football games at the same time as the Army-Navy Game! www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Imagine how much good work and goodwill could have been done with $80 billion in the real world rather than an imaginary one.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr is weaponizing the “public interest” standard against viewpoints he dislikes. Such jawboning violates the First Amendment, due process, and the rule of law. 75+ civil society groups & free speech experts joined us in this coalition letter 🧵

Why don’t we get him to teleport some ships from the Strait of Hormuz?
Just a reminder that in January of this year, Trump and Hegseth decommissioned EVERY US mine sweeper. Yep. Every. Last. One.
Evidently they could never imagine a scenario in which the US needed minesweepers.
In Trump's America, we are governed by idiots.
41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours.
Betrayed and murdered by the United States government.
42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.
