This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

A win! A federal judge has expanded a ruling that stops the Trump administration from cutting off federal money to cities that limit cooperation with immigration enforcement.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Epstein’s monstrous crimes were no “hoax.” The survivors, some whose identities have been revealed (unlike the men who abused them), will carry unimaginable suffering to their graves. govt's argument—“There’s nothing here" is preposterous and unacceptable. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Has anyone confirmed what deal Maxwell got to agree to be interviewed? Hard to believe she is doing this without any legal assurances or protections.

You know how broken our political system is when a man who’s clearly deranged holds the highest office and the people who could remove him from that office continue to support him with gusto.

This is a smart move by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. By proactively requesting an independent review of the D.C. headquarters renovation, Powell is doing exactly what leaders should do when under politically motivated fire: call for transparency and let the facts speak louder than spin.

Kristi Noem cut off call center contracts leaving Texas' thousands of flood victims stranded with no one to call. She did it because they are running a massive 125 billion dollar budget increase over their immigration bullshit.

Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.

It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.

Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.
