so fucking disgusted by @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov
How utterly depressing they lack the ability to stand up to this administration time and time again
![Trump has repeatedly said Republicans would “never lose a race. For 50 years, we won’t lose a race.” The fact that he would try to unilaterally (and unconstitutionally) put policies in place which he has explicitly stated would benefit his party is a clear sign to all Americans (including judges) that any EO including such a policy is not about election integrity at all but instead about election manipulation.
His last attempt to take over elections in 2025 failed when a federal judge said, “Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States—not the President—with the authority to regulate federal elections,” and “[N]o statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.”
No judge is going to side with him on this. Elections carried on without presidential intervention during the Civil War, both world wars, and all of the more recent military action in the Middle East. Even in 2020 when we were under a real national emergency of COVID, states still carried out elections unimpeded.
And on top of that, any attempt by Trump or the executive branch to rewrite election administration and voting laws (for more than 10,000 election jurisdictions across the country) in response to alleged foreign interference would be unprecedented, illegal, and a clear attempt to create chaos and prevent American citizens from exercising their constitutional right to vote.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kjiakoy625524iwzmhtycqih/bafkreic7n4k2wk2tw6ta6vsvsmsc4pntpqcqfhta2ygysrkklimfi5yh7y)

Folks are terrified yam tits will "cancel the elections". And while he IS actively doing everything in his power to do that, he simply has no way to accomplish it. He can declare all the wars he wants, but we had elections through the Civil War, the Revolution, 2 World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, etc.

We’re gonna need a bigger bus.
The @SecRubio @StateDept urges Americans to DEPART NOW from the countries below using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks.

They issue this on the THIRD day of the war...????
Absolute Charlie Fox.
So they lied.
People died.
Also apparently the elementary girls school where approx 150 people were massacred was targeted because the Pentagon was using, 'old maps.'
I shit you not.
People should hang for this.
🤬
Federal judge: I've been at this for 44 years. I have never encountered the hostility toward the judiciary that has existed in this country in the last year.
Um
While Republicans parade around Hillary Clinton, they should remember that it was Ghislaine Maxwell who wrote to Melania Trump calling her “sweet pea.”
While Democrats are content with having accountability for everyone, Republicans seem to be using the Epstein files as a political football.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
Can We Leave Hillary Clinton the Fuck Alone?

Winston sleeping in as usual!
Get into the bed with rabid dogs - wake up with fleas man.
Arrest them.
A photo of Aliya Rahman as she was being detained by ICE in January.
Aliya Rahman, a US citizen w/ a disability who had been dragged from her car by ICE & tearing both her shoulders was Ilhan Omar's guest at the State of the Union, where she was arrested for STANDING QUIETLY, detained, & INJURED by Mike Johnson's officers. Police charged HER with unlawful conduct.
Judge Bryan in Minnesota has scheduled a combined contempt hearing in morethan two dozen immigration cases for what he says has been widespread defiance of his orders to ensure released detainees are given their confiscated property. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
stanley tucci with members of the gold medal winning USA women's hockey team
crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey
absolutely right as usual Sherrilyn. Evil has no race, creed, or religion and can appear in any of those. Evil is Evil.
what the actual hell. 🤦🏽♀️
RIGHT?!
JUST IN: Columbia student Ellie Aghayeva has been released after agents allegedly used false pretenses to enter her dorm.
Mamdani says he raised her case with Trump today.
Agents reportedly claimed they were searching for a missing person, without a judicial warrant.
The USA Hockey team visited Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada & he showed WAY more respect for these champion Olympians than Trump did.
That says everything.
Pic of Hillary Clinton: Courage is facing your accusers for 11 hours and not flinching once. Pic of DJT: Cowardice is not showing up at all.
Hillary Clinton is spot on. 🎯
“If this committee is serious about learning the truth, it would ask Trump directly *under oath* about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein Files.”
Make him testify. He is accused of raping a young girl and the DOJ is clearly covering it up!
This isn’t how ANY HUMAN should speak. full stop 🛑
🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”
