Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

I know some might be tired of me repeating this, but it bears mentioning again and again....

Trump is not leaving office.

They are going to go for martial law if it looks likely that the GOP will lose the House.

You just have to listen to them.

All of the Clinton-era conservative pearl clutching about the sanctity of the White House and the Democrats’ disrespect seems like it’s from another world now.

There was a whole scandal because Al Gore made fundraising calls from inside the building. They investigated the Clintons’ cat!
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans claimed to believe that the White House was such sacred space that getting a blow job in the Oval Office was grounds to remove a president from office.
Exactly. He's blowing up the Constitution, too.
If Donald Trump just kept going and razed the entire White House to the ground, you realize there is absolutely no one who would stop him, right?
Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold?
Weird inclusion on music choice. I love metal, but I'm not a fascist. Nor have I ever loved Thatcher. Metal isn't specific to ultra conservatism. We all aren't Disturbed.

Highest credit card delinquency since the financial crisis 14 years ago.

Add that to home sellers outnumbering homebuyers, consumer confiance plummeting, consumer spending plummeting, inflation increasing, growth decreasing unemployment increasing… a brewing storm.

Good economic news all around👍👍

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

people voted for a guy who in the last couple of days posted a video fantasy of himself shitting on americans, torn down the fucking east wing, and declared that the treasury has to pay him $230 million for reasons.

And Lemon, it's Tuesday.

DHS is at it again. They’re mad that I correctly pointed out that their claim of 515,000 “illegal migrants deported” was wrong so called me a “chronically online troll,” which is particularly ironic coming from an account which actively trolls people all the time.

I too find myself wondering about this
I wanna fucking know how many people circling the wagons for Platner right now adamantly refused to vote for Harris last year because a tactical alliance with Liz Cheney was morally beyond the pale. I’ll bet that Venn diagram’s bigger than zero.

I agree with this. There are a lot of people out there who think both parties are the same and if Democrats put a show of pushing out people with Nazi tattoos and shitty text messages and abused employees then all of a sudden you're making inroads.
Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

NEW — I'm suing DC Metro Police for the full body cam footage from the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace back in March.

The public deserves to know why MPD chose to sell out the people they’re tasked with protecting in order to bend to Trump's will. I'm repped pro bono by @rcfp.org.
