Abolish ICE. Bulldoze the ballroom. Jail the collaborators.

Should be the Democratic platform.

Not enough people talking about how the texts were funny!

Anyway, my main takeaway from the texting "scandal" is that it shows remarkably poor judgment from Jones that he had a Republican friend

Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution.

But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

My friend @merkley.senate.gov is holding the Senate floor all night to sound the alarm on Trump’s lawless regime.

Proud to stand with him in this fight and in the U.S. Senate. There can be no business as usual.

Senator Jeff Merkley @merkley.senate.gov · 10h

This is really what it comes down to.

I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government.

You know, fuck Bernie Sanders, this pisses me off. We’re supposed to have standards and values. The GOP is the one hiring Nazis and groypers and trash bigots. How can people stand up to that without having some kind of standards that they adhere to? Goddammit.

I think egregious violation of judgment is almost as bad as egregious lack of virtue and should also be punished

We have a large, white populace that has never been punished for anything and therefore think they can believe any lazy fantasy they want without consequence. This must be corrected

They're not going to delay their lifetime project another 50 years just because the electable fascist they've been given is borish and dumb

The correct way to think about what's going on here is that we have a lot of earnest fascists in the legal community. People who genuinely want a dictator. I think that they regret that the dictator they're getting is Donald Trump, but that's the opportunity they've been given and they are taking it

Of course they gave it to this guy. You only get a swing of the fascism ax every once in awhile, they're not going to give it to a president who would reject it.

I’ll say it again. Not only did they invent this theory. They CHOSE to deliver it to THIS guy, a dangerous raving selfish moron. They could have waited four years and given it all to President Vance or whatever. They chose to give it to Trump.

Chris Sprigman @cjsprigman.bsky.social · 15h

Unitary executive theory is not wearing well, to say the least. Soon the judges and legal scholars who hatched it (based mostly on some tiny bits and pieces of constitutional text and a tendentious historical account) are going to be lepers. And they are going to richly deserve it.

Never, ever, EVER work with the motherfuckers who destroyed the White House.

Free Kilmar Abrego Garcia @milayna.bsky.social · 14h

I don't ever want to hear "bipartisanship" out of any democrat's mouth again. More than that any signal of working with rethuglicans is disqualifying. With this and tearing down the White House and all the vile press spots, they are not a legitimate political wing and must be excised.

Trump is extorting his own Justice Department for $230 million in taxpayer funds.

He refuses to open the government or lower health care costs — but he's eager to steal YOUR money to enrich himself.

Unprecedented, unfathomable corruption.

*Trump destroys the legal and constitutional heritage of the US*

Dems: "We can't make noise about this, it's not concrete enough for voters"

*Trump destroys the literal, physical White House*

Dems: "We can't make noise about this, not when the legal and constitutional heritage is at stake"

There is a group of people currently in charge of this country who cannot be allowed to rule us under any circumstance, and who must be dealt with in ways that ensure they can never, as a class, return to power. Their enablers need to be similarly punished. Consequences FIRST, reconciliation later.

That rage you feel, as you watch the White House get leveled? That's how we beat Trump. Harness that, refine it, find ways to get other people equally enraged. Get them so mad they can't see straight. None of this kumbaya BS. White-hot, unreasoning anger, that demands the people who did this PAY.

Every single flag-waving magat who brayed about loving this country and its heritage is guilty. Don't forget it. Everything that they have ever said was a lie, and the only thing your rethuglican neighbors want to do is BURN this country to the ground and everything it has ever stood for alongside.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

I find it amazing too that Republicans’ boycott of Washington isn’t the biggest story of them all.

The shutdown can’t end if they refuse to show up for work.

The Republican Congress was vestigial - a rubber-stamp agency masking Trump's unbounded exercise of tyrannical executive power, his ruling by fiat like a king. The Democrats called the GOP's bluff. And so the GOP simply gave up the pretense and went home, unveiling the Trump dictatorship
