These reports are absolutely horrifying. If we had a functioning Congress and DOJ there should be an immediate investigation to determine the veracity of the claims and to hold people accountable.

These allegations are horrific. If this was an American prison it would violate the 8th Amendment. This is absolutely cruel and unusual punishment. Nobody should try to rationalize or justify this kind of treatment.

FACT CHECK: ICE is mostly detaining noncriminals, and most arrested immigrants with criminal convictions are not violent offenders.

I still haven’t seen the phantom Federalist that explains why judges should display lickspittle deference to the other branches, invent myriad avoidance and immunity doctrines to shield public officials from meaningful accountability, and ruthlessly usurp the role of juries in…

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The story of his detainment is horrifying, all of us must share his story and demand his quick and safe return. An assault on the due process rights of anyone is a…

It took under 100 days for "I'll lower prices on day one" to become "who needs money or a 401k when your heart is full of love for Dear Leader Trump"

The Rule of Law means that people you don’t like, even terrible people, are entitled to the benefit of existing laws.

You know how some cats and horses supposedly get just before an earthquake? That’s how a growing number of constitutional lawyers are feeling right now.

I refuse to believe there are people who talk and write about politics professionally who are actually unaware of why Zelensky wasn't wearing a suit.

This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine. I know foreign…

You clowns are up to the same old tired crap. When your guy screws up and royally embarrasses himself and the U.S., you try to change the subject and lie about a favorite target to distract and deflect. For the record, I have never met Zelenskyy and never spoken to him. Ever.…

Here’s a question I wish someone would ask Trump: “Do you still believe a sitting vice president gets to decide not to certify an election?”

TikTok's propaganda algorithms helped convince an entire generation to support the massacre of Jews. Imagine what TikTok will do when we need to stand up to China.

51% of 18 to 24-year-olds say Hamas's slaughter of Israeli citizens was justified. Yet 62% also say it was a genocide. So, a sizeable number of young Americans think genocide against Israelis is justified. What the actual fuck?

Someone asked why I feel compelled to share stories of survivors and families of abducted citizens. The reason is that 80 years ago, the world claimed not to know what was happening to European Jewry. I'll be damned if people today say they didn't see or didn't know.
