@OccupyDemocrats Where @BarackObama at?

BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal. . Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings. Let that sink in. Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment. The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment. A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution. Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star. Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028? Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical." Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it." A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long. Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term. A heartbreakingly long silence ensued. He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language? More ominous silence. Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says. This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent. The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years. Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.

Trump passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Hospitals are laying off staff and closing because of him. Right now, in several states like mine, he's using AI to deny seniors on Medicare the treatments their doctors are recommending. These are just facts.

The Trump administration has built a HUGE money pump – billions of dollars out of the pockets of consumers and into the pockets of Trump’s fossil fuel donors. That is being done on purpose.

Utah Judge Catherine Conklin let convicted pedophile and former POLICE OFFICER Colten Scott Johansen off with just 30 days of home confinement, after Johansen pled guilty to sexually assaulting children and INFANTS, and was facing up to 45 years in jail. This represents EVERYTHING wrong with our judicial system.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I'd probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That's our president.'

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Equal Ground Education Fund and Florida voters, my law firm has sued to block Florida's new illegal and unconstitutional congressional map. democracydocket.com/cases/florida-…

Pam Bondi is set to testify about the White House Epstein files cover-up on May 29. Comer must ensure it's filmed & released publicly. If she doesn't fully cooperate & answer every question, we must compel her testimony. The cover-up must end. @RepRobertGarcia is exactly right.

Trump melted down this weekend after @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom called out his family grift — getting his friends and donors rich off taxpayers!

While Donald Trump's reckless and costly war with Iran forces families to pay more for gas and groceries, his Big Oil donors are profiting from his attempt to illegally restart the Sable pipeline. California is demanding the court block this flagrant abuse of power.

@EdKrassen @pdixon65 The Governor of Florida is breaking Florida law. DeSantis has no authority to up and change voting districts. Republicans continue to cheat.

@EdKrassen @DNC jump in and start playing this game… taxpayers can’t afford any more of this!

@EdKrassen So, let Democratic states do the same...

BREAKING: Ron DeSantis has just confirmed that he has signed the new Congressional Districting map in Florida into law. It’s expected Republicans will pick up 4 seats in the U.S. House with these changes. Republicans can’t win traditionally so they need to keep changing the maps.

@SenateGOP Until Republicans hold the child rapists in their party accountable, how do you expect us to support you any more? Do none of you have children or grandchildren?

Senate Republicans are rebuilding America's Arsenal.  These investments will keep Americans safe and create good-paying manufacturing jobs across the country.  Learn more: republican.senate.gov/americanarsena…

@LorkeStevie @SenSchumer @SenateDems Fox News paid almost a billion dollars on a lawsuit because they lie to their viewers... You DO know that, right?

@SenSchumer @SenateDems

GAS PRICES ARE $4.39 AND CLIMBING I stood at a gas station in Upstate NY with veterans, farmers, and families paying the price every time they fill up. This is Trump country. They don’t want to pay for his reckless Iran war. They’re saying: enough. End the war. Stop the pain at the pump.

@SenSchumer You reap what you sow..

@NEWSMAX But nothing to stop Republicans from raping children...

The Department of Justice will use every law enforcement tool available to address rising food prices, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Monday. bit.ly/4w8kk5p

@MiketheBot @dosxxamber @NEWSMAX Is that while he was sharp as a tack?

@RealStarTrump @dosxxamber @NEWSMAX What the fuck kind of creepy shit is this? Wow bro, get some help... quick. This is not normal behavior...

The collapse of Spirit Airlines followed years of financial struggles and policy decisions under former President Joe Biden’s administration, not just recent fuel price increases tied to global conflict, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy insisted on Sunday. bit.ly/4elGoTX
