As the SCOTUS hears the 14th Amendment case today, remember this --
No one is asking a court to disqualify Trump. Trump disqualified Trump. He was eligible to run again for president right up until the moment he participated in an insurrection against the US. Then, under the Constitution, he was no longer legally entitled to hold federal office.

Bending the Constitution to avoid a confrontation with Trump is the antithesis of democratic rule. The Supreme Court would have never desegregated schools if conservative voices could have prevented constitutional decisions they disliked. https://t.co/OLxyx3Josd

Sabotage without feeling the consequences....so far. --
Republicans engage in national sabotage quite openly because over years, starting in Obama’s presidency, they realized they could announce their schemes to the world and face no consequences. That’s why Dems have to take on the bad faith per se. https://t.co/W6gcmr06pZ pic.twitter.com/481KkDlaxG

Republicans: We want border reform and Ukraine aid in the same bill.
— Mark Jacob (@MarkJacob16) February 8, 2024
Also Republicans: We don't want border reform right now.
Also Republicans: We won't pass Ukraine aid until we get border reform, which we don't want right now.
Way past time to remove judicial saboteur Aline Cannon from classified docs case. --
I’m hopeful this will trigger a motion to remove her. The 11th Circuit might well agree this was the last straw. Compromising national security is a bridge too far. https://t.co/1ih5PnO5SN

It is impossible to overstate how awful and unethical is Aileen Cannon. Clearly has no business being a judge at any level. https://t.co/in4fBdPJbS

"The reality of today’s GOP is far worse than incompetence.

"It turns its back on America’s world role and identity as a tent pole of global stability.

Why many corporations want the Malignant Loser back in the Oval Office. --
With the Inflation Reduction Act, we gave the IRS the tools to ensure more ultra-rich Americans and corporations pay the taxes they owe — reducing the deficit by hundreds of billions of $$.

That Republicans are trying to repeal it is a reminder of who they're really working for. https://t.co/NGsxtYJx97
