Don't threaten me with a good time
Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.
Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.
So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.
He’s weak. Finish him.

In the same press gaggle, Trump said he doubled the size of his ballroom and he doesn’t care about Americans’ financial situations.
I am begging the media — act like Obama or Biden did this shit and cover it the way you would have then.

If you're @raskin.house.gov, how tempting is it to do a press hit today where you tell Pam Bondi this isn't goodbye forever, it's just a farewell until he's running House Judiciary next year and has the chance to subpoena her himself

College basketball star Hank Gathers died #OTD in 1990. It is hard to overstate how good Loyola Marymount was that year.

Ever since Trump began running for president in 2015, it was obvious he was BS'ing--that he did not & would not do the necessary homework to actually understand the issues and make genuinely informed decisions. This war with Iran is the deadly consequence of his ignorance, laziness and narcissism.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

As of this morning, it is imperative that the Democratic caucus in the senate remove Schumer as Minority Leader, Durbin as minority whip and Cortez Masto as Vice Chair of Outreach.
Replace them today with Van Hollen, Murphy and Merkley. Or anyone else who actually knows how to lead and discipline.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

The 60 Minutes interview, in which Nora O’Donnell let Trump blather on with lie after lie without fact-checking him or pushing back, is a reminder of why we need journalists who will hold him accountable rather than just giving him a platform to spread lies.
