When you hear Trump regime officials and GOP members of Congress slam the rulings of "unelected judges," please understand that is their way of saying they reject the US Constitution and want Trump as King.

Congress is reminded of its DUTY. Not option. DUTY.
They should all be found in dereliction of duty.
“Congress manifestly is not permitted to abdicate or to transfer to other the essential legislative functions with which it is thus vested,” the court writes.”
"Because everyone deserves an education to have a fighting chance against those who would take advantage of them. Because every person deserves the critical thinking skills that naturally follow reading and writing.

When they got there,the guard told him that the clinic was closed because funding was stopped.
Her seven year-old son died that night. That’s just one preventable death in an ocean of nameless faces that have or will die because of this administration‘s greed.
Why is the US Govt continuing to interfere in the domestic politics and elections of our allies, and why is the Homeland Security Secretary on a lengthy world tour?

Ashley Hinson wastes everyone's time reading a prepared statement. Crowd grows impatient and calls for her to take questions. Hinson team did everything they could to control a bad look in the media but it didn't work. Headlines across the board were "Hinson booed at town hall" #iowa

Despite the FBI Director's failure to provide a detailed budget, Patel requested a whopping $10.1B in salaries and expenses to carry out the FBI’s mission—$1B more than the current budget.
When asked for a timeline on the budget's completion, Patel said he had no timeline.

I regularly point out there are lots of good places to contribute. Anyplace associated with the Kochtopus won't be one of them.
Yeah pretty good summary.
I’m not going to pretend for one second that an executive order is a law.
I don’t serve a king.
President Trump’s illegal order to open the Pacific Island Heritage Marine Monument threatens vulnerable species and sacred Indigenous sites. This fight isn’t just about one monument—it’s about protecting communities, biodiversity, and the future of our oceans.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law.
This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.
Federal law unequivocally prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Failing to provide ASL interpreters deprives deaf people of meaningful access to the White House's press briefings. www.rawstory.com/white-house-...
Make no mistake: This is a total war on science in America. If an enemy power wished to demolish one of the pillars of American economic, military, and political strength over the past century, this might be what they would do. https://trib.al/2NIBtYq
NEW: The US government has collected DNA from over 100,000 migrant children—including a 4-year-old—and uploaded their genetic profiles into a national biometric database meant for sex offenders and violent criminals.

"It’s not clear that anyone wrote the study cited in the MAHA report."
Wow. If these were freshman, caught using ChatGPT that made up bogus studies, they'd get flunked or worse.

Draft-dodger Donald Trump wants an authoritarian-style military parade for his birthday and is pushing an annual ceremony for actual Vietnam War veterans out of DC to make it happen.
These SpaceX failures are being financed by taxpayer dollars. So far, over $7,000,000,000. So this is *actual* government waste, unlike the *alleged* waste at Social Security that DOGE was unable to find.
US Sen. Joni Ernst will hold a public town hall meeting at 7:30 a.m. Friday, May 30, at Aplington-Parkersburg High School in Parkersburg.
Are you waking up early to go?
Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.
MISSOURI SUPREME COURT RULING TEMPORARILY REVIVES STATE’S NEAR-TOTAL ABORTION BAN
On Tuesday, the Missouri Supreme Court overturned lower court rulings that blocked the state’s total abortion ban, effectively putting the ban back in place and halting abortion procedures throughout the state.
"In the broadest terms, the bill is an enormous upward transfer of wealth — perhaps the largest in history — taking from those with lower incomes and giving to the rich. And in its details there are dozens if not hundreds of blows to the economy." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Sounds like Rep. Ashley Hinson heard how people feel about Trump’s budget loud and clear 🤷
"In March, the Republican Women of Baltimore County hosted Cook and five other convicted Marylanders at a banquet where they were celebrated as heroes. Cook did not hold back.
“'I whacked these officers. I can’t lie about it,' Cook, 26, told the audience....The banquet audience wasn’t disturbed."
