This is the American that embodies our best values and ideals. Not the man in the White House. I am grateful that the world can see a very different side of the American people through his faithful witness.

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

This is beyond bizarre. A sitting VP of the USA attacking our close allies in Europe (you know, those bureaucrats in Brussels!) in a stump speech for a self-described illiberal politician that has the support of Putin. The Republican Party I grew up with would cringe at any American politician doing this, let alone a Republican!

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.

An absolute insane person. My god.

Federal judge's decision on the lawlessness of the administration has to be read to be believed. Democrats cannot continue to fund this.

Respondents do not contest either of these claims—or, indeed, any of Petitioner’s other claims. Respondents’ Answer to the Petition consists of three sentences, two of which recite the procedural history of this case. (Ans. 2.) The remaining sentence reads, in full, “[a]t this time, Respondents do not have an opposition argument to present.” (Id.) They have not denied or contested any of the factual allegations in the Petition. They have not offered any additional facts or defenses. They have not argued that different statutes or regulations should govern this case. They have not lodged any relevant documents, despite being ordered to do so. (ECF No. 4.)

Thus, it appears that Respondents arrested a chronically ill, 70-year-old woman, who came to this country to avoid religious persecution and applied for asylum, who has lived here peacefully for 26 years and complied with all check-in requirements and other conditions of release, who has no known criminal record and poses no threat to anyone, without notice or the process required by their own regulations and without any plan for removing her from this country, then kept her in detention for months without sufficient medical care—and they do not have any argument to offer to even try to justify these actions. Further, having acknowledged that they have no opposition to present to Petitioner’s habeas petition, have they voluntarily released her? No. Thus, Petitioner remains in custody, and her counsel, and the Court, are required to expend resources and effort to address a matter that Respondents either cannot be bothered to defend or realize is indefensible.

President Trump said ICE would go after the "worst of the worst." Apparently unable to find them, it is instead rounding up refugees with legal status, flying them in shackles to Texas and in some cases then releasing them and making them pay their own way back. https://t.co/ZFdMRO9zVN Those seized include Christians fleeing persecution abroad, which seems a little off-brand for Trump.

How else can China and Russia prosper? Wreck primacy of the dollar; wreck primacy of US medicial and scientific research; wreck US education. It's all related.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

A reminder that we have now totally, totally normalized the president of the United States repeatedly threatening the free press with lawsuits if they just write anything he doesn’t like. The First Amendment is disappearing before our eyes. ABC & CBS’s settlements paved the way.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

These people think we have the memories of goldfish. I remember MAGA losing its mind with anger when people said protests like this were incredibly dangerous. "Second Amendment!" they said.

Yet these folks protested with their hands on (apparently) loaded rifles. That's far more dangerous! Alex Pretti never put his hand on his gun, and was disarmed before he was shot.

We know MAGA is about free speech for me and not for thee. Now it's gun rights for me and not for thee.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Q: Trump has talked twice in recent days about canceling the election. Why is he talking about this?

Leavitt: “The president was simply joking.”

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Always the way. It's only a joke if he can't get away with it. Threaten outrageous, unconstitutional, even traitorous acts, then if the blowback is too harsh, say you were joking and try again later. Greenland, Trump 2028, cancelling 2026 elections, Insurrection Act, etc.

New: CIA has assessed Ukraine was not targeting a residence used by Russian President Putin in a recent drone attack, undercutting an assertion the Russian leader had made to President Trump. CIA director Radcliffe briefed Trump on the assessment. https://t.co/x53NdfGV8v

[Acyn @Acyn]

Smith: Our case was built on, frankly, Republicans who put their allegiance to the country before the party. And so the President got information from people he trusted on other issues. He rejected it whenever it didn't fit him staying in office.

And there was a pattern in our case where any time any information came in that would mean he could no longer be President he would reject it. And any theory, no matter how far-fetched, no matter how not based in law, that would indicate that he could, he latched on to.

And we had - we were confident that we had very strong proof of that pattern.

He also, I would just add, very consciously did not try to reach out to the sort of people who have the most expertise on these issues. He reached out to people who he thought could back him up.

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

Now imagine these words spoken by Special Counsel Smith at a criminal trial.

Damning proof of criminal guilt.
