Cory Booker Condemns Trump’s Policies in Longest Senate Speech on Record

The New Jersey senator spent much of his speech, which ended after more than 25 hours, assailing the Trump administration. He eclipsed Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of a civil rights bill in 1957.

The #Trump admin acknowledges that it grabbed a Maryland father with withholding of removal protected legal status & mistakenly deported him to #ElSalvador on March 15.

The US govt told a court on Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back.

"What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told Nick Miroff.

Secret #Pentagon memo on #China, #HomelandSecurity has #HeritageFoundation fingerprints

An internal guidance memo from #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth focuses on deterring China’s seizure of #Taiwan & shoring up homeland defense. In some instances, the document is nearly a word-for-word facsimile of a report from the conservative think tank behind #Project2025.

When #Trump Talks About #Greenland, He’s Talking About #ClimateChange

Trump has made his fixation on Greenland abundantly clear—enough so to unnerve many of the people who live there.…. #JDVance is traveling there today…. As part of the trip, *#NationalSecurity* Adviser #MikeWaltz [#signalgate] & #Energy Secy #ChrisWright were scheduled to visit a US military base; Greenland’s PM, Mute B. Egede, called the visit a “provocation.”…

It’s not the #hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the #stupidity. We’re all shocked—shocked!—that Pres Trump & his team don’t actually care about protecting #classified info or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already. What’s much worse is that top #Trump admin ofcls put our troops in jeopardy by sharing #military plans on a commercial messaging app & unwittingly invited a journalist….That’s dangerous. And it’s just dumb.

Unbelievably believable. The Musk / Trump administration is a bunch of fascist clowns. Our only hope is their incompentency gets them removed before they destroy the world.

"On Tuesday, March 11, I received a connection request on Signal from a user identified as Michael Waltz. Signal is an open-source encrypted messaging service popular with journalists and others who seek more privacy than other text-messaging services are capable of delivering. I assumed that the Michael Waltz in question was President Donald Trump’s national security adviser. I did not assume, however, that the request was from the actual Michael Waltz. I have met him in the past, and though I didn’t find it particularly strange that he might be reaching out to me, I did think it somewhat unusual, given the Trump administration’s contentious relationship with journalists—and Trump’s periodic fixation on me specifically. It immediately crossed my mind that someone could be masquerading as Waltz in order to somehow entrap me. It is not at all uncommon these days for nefarious actors to try to induce journalists to share information that could be used against them.

I accepted the connection request, hoping that this was the actual national security adviser, and that he wanted to chat about Ukraine, or Iran, or some other important matter.

Two days later—Thursday—at 4:28 p.m., I received a notice that I was to be included in a Signal chat group. It was called the “Houthi PC small group.”"

#America Is Watching the Rise of a #DualState
For most people, the #courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.

On Sept 20, 1938, a man who had witnessed the rise of #fascism packed his suitcases & fled his home in Berlin. He arranged to have smuggled separately a manuscript that he had drafted in secret over the previous 2 yrs. This book was a remarkable one. It clarified what was unfolding in Berlin…, the catalyst for its author’s flight.

The #US is home to the best collection of #research #universities in the world. Those universities have contributed tremendously to America’s prosperity, health, & security. They are magnets for outstanding talent from throughout the country & around the world.
The #Trump admin’s recent attack on #ColumbiaUniversity puts all of that at risk, presenting the greatest threat to American universities since the Red Scare of the 1950s.

Obscured by the absurd theatricality of this #Trump presidency is a dangerous erosion of the principle upon which the nation was founded: the rule of #law.

The genius of the #Constitution is its system of #ChecksAndBalances, w/ #ThreeEqualBranches of the federal government sharing #power. Trump is claiming the authority to rule as he pleases, arrogantly daring #Congress & the #judiciary to stop him.

Over the weekend, the #Trump admin ignored a federal judge’s order not to deport a group of Venezuelan men, violating an instruction that could not have been plainer or more direct.

#DOJ attys later justified the…actions w/contentions that many #legal experts said bordered on frivolous.…again raising the question of whether the latest clash between Trump & the #judiciary amounts to a #ConstitutionalCrisis.

The Trump administration’s defiance of a federal judge’s order has once again raised the question of whether the latest clash between President Trump and the judiciary amounts to a constitutional crisis.
