We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

It’s amazing that you have a political party that’s pretty explicitly pro-political violence, meanwhile you still have beltway media continuously speaking about political violence on “both sides”
Lisa McClain refuses to unequivocally condemn threats of violence against Democratic members of Congress who Trump said should be put to death, and says, "there are consequences. You can have freedom of speech, but freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences."

Um, what's a better time to talk about the Holocaust, lady?
BLITZER: During WW2, Nazi officers were following the chain of command, obeying illegal orders & slaughtered Jews during the Holocaust
McCLAIN: We're a long way from Nuremberg trials & the slaughtering of Jews. If you want to talk about the slaughtering the Jews we can have that convo another time

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Mandami owned the president in the Oval Office today. Nobody on here is saying Trump earns brownie points for fawning over the mayor-elect. Trump threw a bunch of Republicans’ messaging under the bus because Trump has no principles beyond himself and Mandami is a good politician with charm to burn.
No it isn't. That traitor ass was calling for executions yesterday. And today everyone is gufawwing at his smiling shit smeared mouth.
Mamdani called the bluff of a meeting, but looks like trumpy got his hail mary distraction from his behavior yesterday.
This shit isn't cute.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."
