Due process makes America great, actually. Pass it on.

May we NEVER forget where we came from. Happy 4th. 🇺🇸.

The best National Anthem of all time, which I will never miss an opportunity to post. Just started blasting it during fireworks. On repeat. You should too. AMERICA! 🇺🇸

Not pictured: She keeps running around with an American flag yelling “LOOK THIS PROVES I’M AMERICAN!” Happy 4th 🇺🇸

One of the best things about America is that you can *choose* to be American. I wrote about why that's beautiful. Happy 4th 🇺🇸.

I criticized Elizabeth Warren for her Native American controversy because she did that as a fully grown woman. With the exception of something truly heinous, I really do not care what a politician did as a kid. Policy is what matters, and Zohran Mamdani has plenty of awful ones.

Probably an unpopular take, but I really cannot care about this. He was 17. We all do really dumb stuff when we’re 17. I would much rather talk about his poisonous policy proposals that will hurt a great American city. This stuff is a distraction.

It looks like this guest is @MonicaPaigeTV, who also said that Kilmar Abrego Garcia “killed Americans”—which the government doesn’t even allege. The host did not correct her. The people who complain loudest about fake news are so often the ones spreading it, and it is depressing.

The number of American adults who apparently slept through all of Civics 101 is truly dire.

Now everyone in the pool is doing the Macarena in unison. All is right with the world.

The top 3 are currently interpretive dancing to "Let It Go" from Frozen. All surprisingly committed. Never underestimate what middle-aged men will do after day drinking for the first time in a year.

Currently working by a pool where some guy is emceeing a dad dance contest. It's both the most wholesome and most humiliating thing I have ever seen.

Pardons are a powerful tool to correct injustices. It is effectively the *only* tool to do so at the federal level. I’m a supporter. But the power loses legitimacy when it's used to reward political allies or family. A bummer.

This case epitomizes how some presidents abuse pardons. There is—and should be—a process for vetting who is & isn't deserving. Any sane review would've denied the guy convicted of trying to kill people. But Trump skipped that part & carelessly threw pardons at his supporters.

Trump pardoned this guy for his January 6 conduct *after* it came to light that he'd conspired to murder a bunch of people. A total abuse of the pardon power. I don't know how anyone who claims to care about "law and order" can defend this stuff with a straight face.

RT @neoavatara: This.

RT @billybinion: CNN absolutely has a right to report on an app that lets people know where ICE is. It is unambiguously protected by the Fi….

The lawsuit is genuinely appalling. This would flagrantly violate the Constitution if it were in the US. And yet many who claim to love American values were willing to trash due process & ship people to a torture camp without so much as a hearing. History won’t look kindly on it.

CNN absolutely has a right to report on an app that lets people know where ICE is. It is unambiguously protected by the First Amendment, no matter how distasteful you may find it. This administration truly despises free speech.

There are *many* such examples of this competitive advantage, by the way. Transgender people deserve respect, kindness & decency, which are often missing from the conversation. But denying reality at this point just makes people look like conspiracy theorists.
