US: We want to wait, let economic damage accumulate. Iran: Sounds good! Iran (turning to others): So, anyone want to talk about a post-US regional security arrangement? Pakistan: Sure. Turkey: Okay. Oman: We were a no, but now a yes. Qatar: Sure. Saudi Arabia: Ugh, fine. Dammit. Iran: Cool.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I don’t want to hear another word from establishment Dems about cooperating with Republicans. Don’t want to see another stupid bipartisan photo about “seersucker suit day” on the Hill. Nine people who protested ICE at a detention camp were just sentenced to 50-100 years in prison. WAKE TF UP.

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.

Unreal. Now that Trump dropped IRS lawsuit, DOJ just announced a new slush fund for alleged victims of "weaponization." Two Qs: *Will there be *any* congressional oversight? Most reporting suggests not. *Would payments to J6ers violate 14A? Raskin explains here: newrepublic.com/article/2105...

"Democratic governors and state legislators need to realize that this is no longer about fairness; it’s about fighting back so that they are not engineered out of the House forever. And I get that Dems don’t have the stomach for this kind of warfare--- find it."

Trans people may be feeling their country has abandoned them. We need to normalize them and soon. How do we do that?it's not hard at all: all you have to do is accept them in your life wherever and whenever you find them. If you will join me in this please repost thank you

Days like Friday are a testament not only to the lawyers I work with but also to our clients. The voters who are standing up and the institutions that are fighting back play no small role in protecting democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/one-...

One day in the fight for democracy

The Trump administration badly wants these records from all 50 states and has sued 30 states that refused its demands. My law firm is fighting the DOJ in all of them.

Trump posted he would invade Venezuela. He invaded Venezuela. Trump posted he would preemptively attack Iran. He attacked Iran. He has now posted that Democrats are the biggest threat to the U.S. Listen. Pay attention.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
