Seeing OLC’s “Murder Memo” would be interesting in the context of the debate over lawful orders.
The Trump Admin has conducted 21 unauthorized military strikes in the Caribbean & East Pacific—killing 83 people—without giving Americans a full explanation. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding the declassification & public release of documents justifying these airstrikes.

Unpopular opinion: Yes, it's bullshit that Ghislane Maxwell is getting better treatment in prison than everyone else because she praised Trump. But it's much bigger bullshit that incarcerated people are treated so horrifically that toilet paper is considered a privilege.

Apropos of nothing in particular, today I'm thinking about the article of impeachment that the House of Representatives contemplated in 1868.

The rule of law is a precious gift. And it is slipping away.
“One thing that stuck out to me was [Bondi’s] insistence that we served at the pleasure of the president and that we were enforcing the president’s priorities. We swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.”

This is what is so funny to me about people insisting that impeachment is a completely insurmountable task that can never be done.
We are talking about four GOP votes. Two of which I might add, already voted to impeach the guy!

4 Republicans were just willing to break ranks on the discharge petition, I don't think an impeachment vote is much more to ask, under the circumstances.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

For what it's worth, I do basically agree that even pretty good Dem Senators (e.g. Booker) should face a strong primary challenge
Some of them may end up deserving to win those primaries! But they should still have to face them

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

Nothing. It means nothing. Schumer needs to go.
What does a "promise for a vote on something that Republicans won't agree to include in a must-pass bill" even mean? I'm charting the various scenarios, and they all lead to destination fuck-all.
