Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

It's funny how many un-democratic and illegitimate features of our politics we just take for granted. "President can win with fewer votes" and "Every box gets two reps no matter the population" really set us up for "Person who won election can't take office unless opposition lawmaker says OK."

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

It’s essentially a do-over of the appeal OR just lost. And rather than waiting for OR to ask for a bigger group of judges to hear the case, a judge on the court requested it, which is a BFD

Initial decision was bad for OR, but this is good. OR lost on appeal and now they get a do-over in front of a bigger panel of judges. 2/3 of the judges that ruled against OR are Trump appointees but the 9th circuit - the court where this is going on and which has 29 judges - is generally liberal

JezebelJD @shannahd.bsky.social · 3d

Also, sua sponte means one of the judges on the court requested an en banc hearing, rather than waiting for the losing party - Oregon - to request it. It’s kinda a BFD for court to act sua sponte

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.
