What if a Risk Manager, two Quality Assurance Inspectors, and one Housewife decided to backpack the High Sierras? Without men. Four middle aged female city folks tackle this task, letting nothing block their goal. Not lack of

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

A retired lawyer in the U.S. was watching the news when he saw the story about the new Trump commemorative coin and something immediately didn't sit right with him.
So he did what lawyers do. He went digging...
And he found it. A federal law passed in 1866 that explicitly prohibits living people from appearing on U.S. currency. It's not a grey area. It's not open to interpretation. It's been sitting in the books for over 150 years.
The last time this actually happened was 1926 when a coin featuring Calvin Coolidge was minted while he was still alive and serving as president. The backlash was immediate. The coins were pulled. And the law was reaffirmed...
Now this retired lawyer has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Mint not because of who is on the coin, but because the law says it simply cannot be done. Full stop...
No political agenda. No protest. Just one guy, a dusty legal statute, and a federal case that nobody in Washington apparently saw coming

🚨BREAKING: Lawrence O'Donnell looked America in the eye tonight and said on live TV what many are thinking about Donald Trump's profane, perverse, filthy outburst on Easter Sunday to commit war crimes.

"The 25th Amendment was written for yesterday at 8:03am."

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.

“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”

That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.

This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.

What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.

For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.

More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Next year, Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" will hand $67 BILLION of YOUR taxpayer dollars over to corporations for a single tax break.

Why? To "incentivize" research these companies did years ago.

Let that sink in. YOUR money being used to boost Amazon's profits even more.

📸 Both of these photos were taken this weekend.

And remember: Jake Tapper and the media have spent the better part of the past year telling the country Joe Biden would be in a wheelchair by now while insisting Donald Trump was some sharp, vigorous eighty year old.

They didn’t just get it wrong. They cashed in. Biden was old, competent, and boring, and that didn’t fit their business model. Chaos did.

So they boosted Trump, fed the outrage machine, and sold out our democracy for clicks and access.

Never forget.

My God.

This @WSJ piece on Trump, Witkoff and Kushner's venality for Russian business deals from which they will personally profit at the price of selling Ukraine into Russian slavery and despair is devastating and ugly.

Actor John Lithgow on Donald Trump: “Things are getting so grave it’s getting harder and harder to make fun of the subject without feeling like you’re normalizing it. I’m very worried about America. I think it’s a critical moment for democracy on the most basic level”

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

WSJ with a devastating, intensely-sourced article demonstrating how Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff tried to sellout Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe for money. It's so bad one of our European allies shared evidence of the planned business deals. A must-read.

Kamala Harris laid it down: she voted YES on Proposition 50, because she refuses to let anyone choke off the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire — democracy depends on it. Vote YES on Prop 50 by mail or in person this Tuesday, November 4. #CAVoteYesProp50

🚨NEW: Former FBI Acting Director Brian Driscoll, who was fired by Trump after refusing to hand over the names of who worked on January 6th cases, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration.

RETWEET if you stand with Driscoll against Trump and the corrupt GOP!

BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office.
