This guy is drunk with power. He’s so desperate to do Trump’s bidding that he’s making empty threats to jail ordinary citizens for donating to their elected representatives and to remove duly representatives from office for representing their constituents, all while he ignores.
It seems to me that the only way some of the fleeing Democrats can avoid bribery charges is to not break quorum. It seems that would eliminate any potential quid pro quo connected to any payment they received to deny a quorum and skip a vote.

Glad to see Texas Democrats fighting back against Trump and Abbott’s cheap rigging of our democracy.
Breaking News: Democrats in the Texas House planned to leave the state in a last-ditch attempt to stop Republicans from adopting a redrawn congressional map. Their absence would prevent the House from reaching the quorum needed to hold a vote this week.

So the next time you can’t afford your rent or health care when you’re sick or to have your loved one in a nursing home, don’t blame the “illegals.” Blame the Republicans. They’ve earned your blame.

IDIOTIC. Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence said there’s no evidence Iran was close to having a nuclear weapon. Now Trump has stupidly, needlessly and dangerously bombed Iran under false pretenses. This makes America and its allies less safe, not more.
BREAKING: U.S. attacks three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says.

Happy to see @harvard push back against the extremist Trump administration. Hoping other universities and institutions will follow. There’s strength in numbers. Fight back together.
The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.

Another “mistake” by the Trump administration—they’re deporting people they know should not be deported under law and then playing dumb about it. Due process would help prevent this.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration has acknowledged that it grabbed a Maryland father with protected status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador—but claims that courts are powerless to order his return, @NickMiroff reports:

Schumer says it would be a mistake to allow a shutdown because that would give Trump and Musk unchecked power to eviscerate the federal government. But they’re already doing that—unchecked by Congressional Republicans. And if Democrats help pass a terrible CR they’ll put their.
President Trump and Republicans Leaders would like nothing more than to pull us into the mud of a protracted government shutdown. For Donald Trump, a shutdown would be a gift. It would be the best distraction he could ask for from his awful agenda. Right now, Donald Trump owns.
