An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1.	He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15.	For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17.	For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

Supreme Court Axes Tariffs; Trump Responds With New Global Rate President Donald Trump rushed to salvage his signature tariffs after the Supreme Court struck down his global duties, pledging he would use different tools to work around the ruling and preserve import taxes he has cast as essential to his economic and foreign policy.

We are now fully into tax and grift economic policy by the GOP. apple.news/AHBFwP3vLRny...

I think we can all agree is that there must be a Constitutional Amendment to set a max age of the US Presidency.

@masnick.com on Bluesky Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

@nocoguy.bsky.social on Bluesky Let's be perfectly clear: every single Republican in Congress who allows this to continue without removing this president and prosecuting these lawless ICE murderers, is declaring their allegiance to a tyrant, and themselves enemies of the very Constitution they swore to defend.

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Jarring to see the footage of this video juxtaposed with the narration describing "rising tensions" and other milquetoast expressions. The violence in the clips is only coming from one direction: ICE.
