‘Bring It On!’: Donald Trump’s Desire for a Third Term Backfires.

“If Trump wants to eliminate the 22nd Amendment, I am thrilled,” wrote one former Obama voter. If Trump can run for a 3rd term so can President Obama! Game f—ing on!

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and vows to keep speaking tonight as long as he is physically able.

Booker is doing it to draw attention to all the dangerous executive actions Trump has taken in the last 71 days.

What he said was so true:

This is going to hurt American consumers quite a bit. Despite the White House beliefs these costs will passed on to us the average American.

Koh: If you're going to come after the Biden administration on jobs, Biden created 15 million jobs more than many presidents in modern history with the IRA, with the infrastructure bill, including the bridge in Kentucky, which Mitch McConnell signed off on and was at the groundbreaking.

Eliminating Sesame Street? Good luck with that—Oscar the Grouch has squatters’ rights, and Elmo’s got a legal team.

Booker is one of a few senators who have really been stepping up. Team democracy has been sadly short on heroes lately. We need more of this.

When creepy MAGA insurrectionist Mike Johnson cheers on the dismantling of the Department of Education, just remember that’s he’s from Louisiana better known as “Louisnana” according to the poorly educated.

The MAGA regime is revoking the legal status of 530,000 Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Cubans and Haitians.

Well done to every person of color who voted for the orange felon, the known racist and career white supremacist has played you like fools yet again. FAFO.

I’ll repeat it for the people in the back, the orange felon and MAGA regime are actively trying to hide the Epstein files as well as block public release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings in the Mar-a-Lago classified docs case.

In short, he’s a criminal and guilty AF.

The GOP’s silence on Trump’s unlawful actions isn’t just deafening—it’s complicity.

As a co-equal branch of government, they have a duty to hold him accountable. Instead, their inaction enables his abuse of power.

Republicans haven’t just been enablers—they’ve now Trump’s accomplices!

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Trump called them criminals

And shipped them to prison in El Salvador-without any regard for their Constitutional rights

But some family members say their deported relatives have no criminal records

Now-because of a lawless president

They’ll be doing hard labor for G-d knows how long

Despicable

I don’t know of anything more free than a bison calf born on National Park land.

That kind of freedom is worth fighting for and protecting.

If only all people could enjoy that same freedom.
It can't be all doom and gloom
There is still some good in this world
And it's worth fighting for.

Chicago crowd tonight was *incredible*. Important for everyone to be spending time with each other right how. It may not feel like it right now, but we’re gonna win.
Went with my son to @chrislhayes.bsky.social book event tonight (Chicago). It felt like a social movement was born, and he led it. People just stood up and clapped forever. When he said, "Don't give up," I falsely denied having tears in my eyes. Thank you. Can't wait to read THE SIRENS' CALL.

Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

In no other industry — business, sports, medicine, aviation — do people "screw up big time" and remain in their roles. CEOs get fired, players get benched, coaches get fired, doctors and pilots lose their licenses.

Replace Schumer and move on.
