Mr. Lloyd, who died and gave you the authority to overrule the U.S. Supreme Court? NO ONE. You're a sicko who takes perverse joy in tracking young girls' menstrual cycles, and nothing more. Resign! Go play with Jeffrey Einstein in jail.

[MS NOW @MSNOWNews]

.@Maddow: "Scott Lloyd has appointed himself the gatekeeper about whether or not these girls are allowed to access the thing they're supposed to have a constitutional right to get...and it turns out he's never granted that permission anytime anybody's come to that gate." (3/10)

[ACLU @ACLU]

ICYMI: @brigitte_amiri was on air to talk about HHS official Scott Lloyd — aka the Trump official obsessed with banning abortion for immigrant young women in federal custody.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Trump is upset that California is suspending the death penalty.

Please tell me again what the definition of "pro-life" is, because now I'm really confused.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

The president's credibility on his "National Emergency" looks a lot like this:

@washingtonpost A better tweet headline would have been:

“Trump tweet on his Scotland golf courses renews focus on potential Enulments Clause violations.”

See how easy that would have been, WaPo?

Right away, the reader would know WHY Trump’s tweet was problematic and drew criticism.

Trump’s budget would hurt older Americans by cutting billions from Medicare and Social Security, more than a year after the GOP’s tremendous tax cuts for the 1%. How is it fair to balance the budget on the backs of our seniors? I won’t stand for it.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Great move: Speaker Pelosi and Leader McConnell extended a joint invitation to NATO’s Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, to address a joint session. Bipartisan support for NATO remains strong, and it is incumbent on Congress to shore up the most successful alliance in history.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Sec. Nielsen, whether you call it a "cage" or a "detention space," it doesn't change the fact that your policy is "inhumane" and "doesn't reflect American values."

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Remember when Republicans said they wouldn't cut Medicare and Medicaid to pay for their #GOPTaxScam?

Well, Trump's budget cuts Medicare by $840 billion and Medicaid by $241 billion.

In contrast, Democrats want to expand healthcare for all.

The choice couldn't be clearer.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Another sentencing, another statement by Manafort’s lawyer repeating Trump’s mantra of “no collusion,” and another barely concealed appeal for a pardon.

It shouldn’t fall to the Manhattan DA to deter a presidential pardon. Congress should take action to protect the rule of law.

[Marshall Cohen @MarshallCohen]

Asked why Trump hasn't RULED OUT a pardon for Manafort, @PressSec says: "The President has made his position on that clear. He’ll make the decision when he’s ready." Manafort was Trump's campaign chairman and now faces at least 4 years in prison for evading $6 million in taxes.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

President Trump. You're not smarter than 99% of climate scientists who agree that climate change is not a hoax. It is not "fake news." It is real and will devastate millions. We are going to defeat you and move aggressively to address this crisis.

[Adam Schiff @AdamSchiff]

Want to take $60 million in vacations, and have the federal government pay your resort $400,000 for the privilege?*

You can, if you're the President of the United States!

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

What I referred to on @TheView today. Poor parents are in jail for food-stamp fraud, welfare fraud and for using someone else’s address so their kid could go to a better school. So, hell yes! If these rich, privileged folks are found to have committed fraud, throw them in jail!

[Jess Dweck @TheDweck]

No better way to show you don’t have brain problems than to need five days to think of a comeback

[Go to Bluesky to save your brain -- L O L G O P @LOLGOP]

Why can't a guy who had to pay a $25 million fraud settlement weeks before taking office get a break?

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Trump lied to the country when he repeatedly promised to protect Medicare and Medicaid. His new budget proposes more than $1 trillion in cuts to these vital programs that the most vulnerable Americans rely on. America deserves better leadership than this. https://t.co/u455ypsVXX

@FAANews The Agency needs to suspend all flights of the Boeing 737 Max 8 & 9 immediately. People should not have to forfeit the fares they have paid in order to avoid an unsafe plane. We need a thorough investigation before they can fly again. Do your job & protect the public.

[Michelle Lemley @thepublicstrust]

WTF is WRONG with you people?
