Pavlovitz: "[Trump] is the vile personification of the Ugly American. [A]s long as represents and holds power over this nation, we will be a dangerous place, a fractured mess, and a global embarrassment. He will ever be lowering the bar of our legacy in the world."
Donald Trump is objectively one of the worst humans to have ever poisoned the planet.
Good people don't support him.
They simply don't.
His supporters need to be rejected by decent human beings.

They say you need a good elevator pitch to run for office.
Well, here's mine. My name is Taylor Wettach, and I'm a 7th-generation Iowan. I quit my job as a lawyer after my law firm caved to Trump. Now, I'm running for Congress to flip Iowa's 1st and take back the House.

Yes.
Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

I served as a federal prosecutor for close to 20 years. This story made me sick to my stomach.
"A canary in the coal mine of the rule of law." This is an immensely important story about the DOJ being turned into an institution that is breaking the law at the behest of the President...the kind of story that would have tanked previous administrations.

As a former federal prosecutor (for 20 years) I agree with every word in this letter. We took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to capitulate to the whims of any President --for all the reasons that are abundantly clear right now.
NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Chilling words today from Judge Wilkinson of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals: "The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph."

Good luck finding 12 jurors willing to vote for the death penalty in this case.
