If you think assassination is a crime no matter who commits it, and that dogs should be treated humanely, I’ve got a political party for you: the Democrats.
From my years of studying philosophy, which always involves consideration of human nature and the question of governing these "nasty ,brutish..." beings, I've studied "government". The framers of the US Constitution were scholars with classical educations. They borrowed from…
SCOTUS: The president does not have the power to forgive student loans under this particular law. TRUMP: OK, but he could order someone killed, though, right?
The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.

Every dictator who ever seized power justified his coup as an official act for the good of the state.
@kylegriffin1 Vote for the party who wants everyone to vote Better With BIDEN 💙💙
@davidaxelrod As always, it’s on us the voters to make sure that man never touches power again.
Nothing matters more than stopping Trump this November. Every progressive cause, every progressive conviction, every progressive goal you have will fare many, many times worse under Trump. Our definitive purpose right now should be reelecting President Biden.
MCCONNELL: "Here's the political reality: if you think the fall of Afghanistan was bad, the fall of a European capital like Kyiv to Russian troops will be unimaginably worse, and if stalled American assistance makes that outcome possible, there's no question...where the blame…
There's a bit too much of this at the moment on more than one issue: "We have a noble cause so we can do whatever the hell we want, and if our tactics infringe on the rights and safety of others, and we get consequences for that, then those people are "anti-free speech."
If you're a news organization trying to serve everyone, facing a political movement powered in large part by its attacks on the media, you can't defend yourself by insisting your people are fair, your routines sound. You must try to show everyone how this movement is misguided.
Overheard from a GOP in hallway after eligibility for free school meals fails - "Not my kids, not my problem" And there you go, NHGOP in a nutshell. #NHPolitics #FeedTheDamnKids
It’s not so complicated: Donald Trump terminated the right to choose in America. And given the chance, he’ll keep going.
This is who Donald Trump is
There is no middle ground on the basic right to abortion care. Either you believe women should control their own bodies, or you believe the government should control women's bodies. That's it. Anti-choice hypocrites want us to believe it's murky, but it's not. It's that simple.

No, Donald—it’s about women’s rights.
No, Donald—it’s about women’s rights.
Don't be mistaken: Reproductive freedom is on the ballot here in North Carolina. What just happened in Arizona could happen here if my opponent, @markrobinsonNC, is elected. He's said he wants to enact a TOTAL ban on abortion — and it’s on us to stop him. apnews.com/article/arizon…
Last year, Michigan repealed an abortion ban to ensure women and their doctors are able to make decisions about their bodies without politicians and judges getting in the way. Watching what we worked so hard to repeal in our state come to fruition in Arizona is horrifying.
Absolutely incredible optics here. Play this on repeat.

@nickconfessore @axios THE OTHER CANDIDATE IS SLEEPING THROUGH HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL
@nickconfessore @axios It's a response to a political press sector more obsessed (disproportionately so) with reporting on traits and things less relevant to executive public governance outcomes — to the detriment of not putting proportionate attention on things most relevant to public governance
@ChristianM_74 RFK’s biggest achievement is convincing parents not to vaccinate against measles and now we have the largest outbreak since we created the vaccine. Go away.

@tribelaw This is an easier question than Bush v. Gore, which was settled in days. Is the president above the law? When acting in the national interest, in the context of war, the answer is “no“ - still not above the law! Trump, acting in his own interests? The answer is “no”.

@joma_gc @alexbruesewitz It’s a criminal trial. He doesn’t get to pick & choose which days he shows up.
Trump immunity Supreme Court argument showed this today.
There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors. In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.
The more time I have to think about how SCOTUS handled the immunity argument today, the more furious I get
This was a truly bonkers Supreme Court argument. About half the court seemed like it was in denial that the U.S. just went through an insurrection, at times.
The refusal of the GOP Justices (sans ACB) to address the Trump indictment before them as they rushed to explore in arguments how to immunize him was appalling. They should address the case before them and deny immunity for it was never part of the Constitution and totally…
Today’s SCOTUS argument was more like a hearing in Congress to design an immunity law for future presidents, with Justice Kavanaugh saying “We’re not taking about the present case” and Justice Gorsuch saying “We’re writing rules for the ages” and Justice Alito joining in (cont’d)…
@GenoVeno73 @mylittlecorne11 Not true at all. SCOTUS could let DC Circuit Ct of Appeals decision stand. They routinely reject 90%+ of constitutiinal cases
Is it totally lost on the American people, that the very same Supreme Court who ruled that 172 million women should no longer have the freedom to decide to their own pregnancy choices, is now, all of sudden, struggling with the idea of whether ONE MAN should have the freedom to…
Annnnnd there you have it.
On last night's livestream, Christian nationalist organizers of today's 'United for Israel' march at Columbia explained that they're actually excited about rising antisemitism: it's a sign the End Times is near & Jews will convert to Christianity. Rally leader Sean Feucht:
@ryanbeckwith Why have a supreme or any court bc the president has the ability to decide what he wants according to their logic. Get rid of the courts altogether bc laws are meaningless. This is so un-American
SCOTUS: The president does not have the power to forgive student loans under this particular law. TRUMP: OK, but he could order someone killed, though, right?
The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.
Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity? "That could well be an official act," Trump lawyer John Sauer says
Still can't quite digest that a former and possible future American president is telling the supreme court that he should have immunity to kill political rivals. Utterly surreal.
