Blue dot in a former swing state, Ohio. Grandma to 6 boys, 1 girl. Firmly anti-Trump, the orange douchebag. Hoping things do not get any worse but aware it may need to get worse before it gets better for America.
Gavin Newsom resists discussing his showdown with Trump over L.A. in political terms, but “he did describe the episode to me as perhaps the most consequential of his career,” @markleibovich.bsky.social writes:

This devastating Substack post by Georgetown Law Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social ought to cause Samuel Alito discomfort whenever he sees the word “Justice” in front of his name. He doesn’t deserve what that honorific implies.
Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social · last yr.Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist: www.stevevladeck.com/p/145-justic...
Just incredible that a sitting Senator can say something like this with every expectation that such comments will not be grounds for bipartisan calls for his immediate resignation or removal from office.
Isaac Dovere@isaacdovere.bsky.social · last yr.Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs chair Sen. Ron Johnson says that 9/11 was a "controlled demolition" and there has been a "cover up" of massive amounts of evidence, many "questions" need to be answered:

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

#TrumpCrash hit a historic mark. It is only the fourth time in history that the DOW has lost 2,000 points in a single day - and that follows a huge drop yesterday, too. The DOW is down nearly 4,000 since the #TrumpTariffs were announced on Weds night. #Trumponomics

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.
Vandalize an insured auto, and the DOJ demands 20 years in prison! Same people PARDONED those who vandalized GOVERNMENT property AND beat police officers, leaving 5 dead! The hypocrisy is rich here!!! We see now that a car is more important to retrumplikkkans than police officers lives!!! #Tesla
This vote from Wisconsin was the "Big Kahuna" I didn't have much faith in Florida to save our country but that's why I moved away from there... Florida wouldn't save themselves if their crotch was on fire and they had a glass of water... and I really mean that... They're like a separate country...
Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏
Appalling anti-American principles being advanced by the Secretary of State.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2y agoMarco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford
Trump has created the illusion of getting a lot done because: a.) Whereas past administrations were constrained by their inclination to obey the law, he doesn't give a shit b.) He cares more about the illusion part than the actually getting stuff done part c.) The media falls for it every damn time
