Think of what had to be eroded to make this tolerable to the public

This is unconscionable. Where are the members of Congress speaking about this? Esp the ones who call themselves Christian (yeah, I mean Speaker Mike Johnson). Does the media even ask about it?

Senator Tammy Baldwin's @baldwin.senate.gov statement on the arrest of Judge Dugan (posted elsewhere):

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth:

Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone.

Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

It is now completely undeniable that America will be safer if Pete Hegseth is fired. He’s got to go. Keep the pressure.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.

She has been on a govt salary for years.

Something aint right

I think Hegseth has what it takes for a third war chat

It can be true that both tariffs are bad and denying due process is also bad

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

LOUDER FOR THE POLITICIANS HIDING IN THE BACK

The House & Senate majorities have immense responsibility for enabling this administration.

Every day. Every decision. They permit it. They enable it. They own it.

Then came the purges. And the news keeps coming. On Sunday night, The New York Times reported that Hegseth shared details about the Yemen strike in another Signal chat that included his wife and brother. There are very likely more shoes to drop in short order, with even bigger bombshell stories coming this week, key Pentagon reporters

This is a Pentagon comms chief (just resigned) telling readers what reporters are telling him about the Pentagon

Alito: The Supreme Court. made a horrible mistake. Technically, the law does say rights and due process, but that results in less of the overt cruelty I was enjoying on my television, which means the Court should’ve found delays and loopholes for the govt to deny those rights in practice. I dissent.

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.

This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Turns out people want their dems to fight for their values and protect due process

Pretty good turnout at the Huntington Beach Hands Off rally so far, lots of protect the library signs as well

We are witnessing our government institutions — whose independence is vital for the fair functioning of our legal system — being compromised and their integrity undercut in real time. This is how tyrants undermine democracy.

The Lies About Josh Shapiro Have Consequences An attack on the Pennsylvania governor shows the dangers of tendentious misrepresentations.

I wrote about the attempted murder of Josh Shapiro, and how deceptions and double standards about Jewish politicians have consequences. Gift link:

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Just landed in El Salvador to discuss release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.
