If Trump ends the contempt power of judges with his “big, beautiful bill,” no one will be able to stop him.

A future Congress would need the power of the courts to enforce their investigations, subpoenas, and laws.

It would be the end of American democracy.

For starters, Democrats need to actually field a candidate against Mike Johnson, unlike the 2022 and 2024 campaigns when they let him run unopposed.

The odds of unseating him will be long, but use the campaign to put him on defense and make our version of Pierre Poilievre sweat a little.
I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

The Trump administration released a report last week that it billed as a “clear, evidence-based foundation” for action on a range of children’s health issues. But the report, from the Make America Healthy Again Commission, cited studies that did not exist. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

"It is important to understand that there is no—none, *zero*—practical reason to imprison an American citizen abroad....The only reason America would need to use foreign prisons would be to get around the American legal system." And Trump has expressed interest in doing just that.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

This weekend, Elon Musk (and 6 kids under 24) have seized by force the computer mechanism for distribution of ALL US FUNDS and penetrated a secret, high-security system of the Department of State. He has NO legal authority for any of this.
