1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

The Democratic Senators who voted to pass the CR are living in the past, in a world where Republicans were moderates, and willing to compromise. MAGA Republicans are the extreme right, and can only be countered by Democrats willing to be extreme. Elect Democrats who will fight.

$top the $teal! Trump is trashing government programs to line billionaires’ pockets. The deficit will be much higher at the end of Trump’s rule than it is now. But the kleptocrats will be richer.

Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
