@chrislhayes Guy is a legend in his own mind. From a psychological analysis standpoint he’s got some major issues clearly spelled out in these social media posts.
@elonmusk FACTCHECK: Noncitizens are not permitted to vote in state and federal elections. It’s a federal crime for noncitizens to register or vote in federal elections, and it’s a crime under every state’s laws.

Read this excerpt from the devastating brief just filed by Perkins Coie, through the advocacy of Williams & Connolly, against the indefensible Trump Order punishing Perkins Coie:
“The Order is an affront to the Constitution and our adversarial system of justice. Its plain purpose is to bully those who advocate points of view that the President perceives as adverse to the views of his Administration, whether those views are presented on behalf of paying or pro bono clients.
Perkins Coie brings this case reluctantly. The firm is comprised of lawyers who advocate for clients; its attorneys and employees are not activists or partisans. But Perkins Coie’s ability to represent the interests of its clients—and its ability to operate as a legal-services business at all—are under direct and imminent threat. Perkins Coie cannot allow its clients to be bullied.
The firm is committed to a resolute defense of the rule of law, without regard to party or ideology, and therefore brings this lawsuit to declare the Order unlawful and to enjoin its implementation. [¶¶]
Because the Order in effect adjudicates and punishes alleged misconduct by Perkins Coie, it is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers. Because it does so without notice and an opportunity to be heard, and because it punishes the entire firm for the purported misconduct of a handful of lawyers who are not employees of the firm, it is an unconstitutional violation of procedural due process and of the substantive due process right to practice one’s professional livelihood.”
Amen!
BREAKING: A federal judge issued a nationwide injunction on Thursday, blocking the Trump administration from freezing federal funding without going through Congress. https://t.co/FT7TNv9HYJ
@SteveRattner@Morning_Joe Right because our vets aren’t paid enough to defend our country so let’s stick it to them even more. WTF? These two have no business being in this role
@stoolpresidente Or see it for what it is, a father pardoning his son to avoid political persecution from Trump & his cult. But what I find more problematic is your willingness to accept Trumps continuous stream of lies that have actually this country & our democracy.
BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, CNBC hosts believe that Kamala Harris will do a better job balancing the budget than Donald Trump. Retweet so all Americans see this.
.@SenJohnKennedy is an absolute disgrace and should be censured by his colleagues for the anti-Islam bigotry he displays in spewing hatred at, and rudely talking over, this Arab American witness. And he’s dumb as a rock to boot.
Talking to host Stephen Colbert on the @colbertlateshow about the upcoming election, @maddow explains how former President Donald Trump aims to "disgust us," rather than distract us; urging viewers to listen to their conscience to denounce his tactics.
@MollyJongFast More election interference & trying to steal an election — last time was a dress rehearsal & now they’re doing it out in the open! How are we here again???
BREAKING: This reporting about Trump would be entirely reminiscent of what Nixon did in the 1968 election, undermining the Paris peace talks re Vietnam. What the reporting reflects is criminal behavior, violating the Logan Act, and a true sickness of putting power and avoidance of jail over the lives of innocent people.
Note: given US surveillance capabilities, the intelligence community would undoubtedly know if Trump is doing this.
