The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

It’s especially galling that AG Pam Bondi personally wrote the memo approving the gift of the Qatari airplane. Her last job was as a lobbyist for Qatar! efile.fara.gov/docs/6415-Ex...

Why do so many Americans not have empathy for anyone?

Do they think this makes them look cool?

It makes them look weak.

Trump knows his scheme to lower drug prices by executive order will likely be overturned in court again like it was in his first term.

Why doesn’t he make it a legislative priority?

So far, zero judges have agreed we are in a "state of war."
Rep. Michael McCaul on Stephen Miller threatening to suspend habeas corpus: "The courts are gonna decide this one as to whether this invasion in fact constitutes what would be a state of war. Some would say it would."

This from Rubio is misleading in important ways.

1. These children are constitutionally entitled to remain in the country if someone wants to assume their care.

2. The families' lawyers are claiming that no meaningful opportunity was given to determine that.

3. That's a due process problem.

Sullivan: This has been an unadulterated disaster. And it’s because it’s not just about the policy—it’s that President Trump and his team have gone at the core American advantages in the world and systematically tried to dismantle them.

The Supreme Court's first and only opinion today is a technical but important 5–4 win for immigrants. Gorsuch holds that a voluntary departure deadline which falls on a weekend or holiday extends to the next business day. Roberts and the three liberals join. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Update!

Over 1750 people have signed up for the Resistance Summer School pilot course!

This is the seed to a new movement and parallel education structure.

It won't put participants in lifelong student debt. Or be subject to attacks on diversity.

I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process.

I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.

Raskin: The president derives his powers only either from the Constitution explicitly or from an act of Congress and Congress certainly has never given the president the power to relocate prisoners to foreign countries and there's nothing in the constitution that remotely vests that power…
