Lock up the worthless PIG!
(and lose the key)
Yesterday, although two federal judges found that Trump’s refusal to use reserves Congress already provided to fund SNAP in an emergency was illegal, and one ordered the government to use that money, Trump did not do as the judge ordered. The judge should LOCK HIM UP for violating the court's order.
This WORTHLESS PIG then posted on social media that “our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP,” so Trump has “instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.” Once again, while baselessly trying to blame the Democrats for his government shutdown instead of himself, Dementia Donnie added that “even if we get immediate guidance, it will unfortunately be delayed while States get the money out.”
In the meantime, unhinged Dementia Donnie was celebrating his new marble bathroom in the White House while federal employees are working without pay, furloughed workers are taking out bank loans to pay their bills, healthcare premiums are skyrocketing, and hungry SNAP recipients are going without food. Just hours before SNAP benefits ended yesterday, Trump hosted a Great Gatsby–themed party at Mar-a-Lago. Remember, fellow Americans, that F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby skewered the immoral and meaningless lives of the very wealthy who spent their time throwing extravagant parties and laying waste to the lives of the people around them.

"I don't know." ~ Dementia Donnie
Spineless!
Dear Majority Leader Thune and House Speaker Johnson:
Under your leaderships, the wholesale surrender of constitutional powers of Congress to the White House has been appalling. You both took oaths to defend and preserve the Constitution under Article VI. In violation of your oaths, you are destroying the Constitution by dismantling the separation of powers—a structural bill of rights to arrest executive tyranny—in favor of limitless presidential authority indistinguishable from monarchy or Der Fuhrer.
You cannot claim ignorance. Among other assertions and actions, President Donald Trump proclaimed on July 23, 2019, “Then I have Article 2, where I have the right to do anything I want as president.” If there were any doubt about Mr. Trump’s belief in lawless presidential omnipotence, it should have been dispelled by Mr. Trump’s skepticism about honoring his oath of office on May 4, 2025. During an interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker, Trump was questioned about a potential mass deportation program. When Welker asked, “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?” Trump responded, “I don’t know.”
On your watch, Congress has surrendered the war powers to Mr. Trump. It has surrendered the power of the purse to Mr. Trump. It has surrendered the treaty power to Mr. Trump. It has surrendered the oversight and confirmation powers to Mr. Trump. It has surrendered the power to legislate to Mr. Trump, including limitless discretion to jettison his constitutional obligation to take care that the laws be faithfully executed instead of being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Mr. Trump’s refusals to enforce the congressional ban on TikTok, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the federal prohibition on extortion, the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Hatch Act, or the Leahy Amendments are some examples of his serial violations of law. Indeed, Mr. Trump has turned the United States into a police state in which any criticism of his stewardship of our liberties is treated and prosecuted as a felony.
You both have idled as Mr. Trump has flouted the Domestic and Foreign Emoluments Clauses of the Constitution, putting the White House up for auction and lately, unlawfully paying for a giant ballroom with private contributions. You both have acquiesced while Mr. Trump has daily flouted the First Amendment’s protection of free speech and association, pressing to make American journalists echo chambers of his administration in the manner of Russian President Vladimir Putin and RT and Radio Sputnik.
You have turned Congress into a laughingstock as the Invertebrate Branch. We have no confidence that you will respond to our constitutional peril by impeaching and removing President Trump from office. Your entire careers betray the treacherous earmarks of the “summer soldier and sunshine patriot” as historians will highlight.
On July 4, 1776, nearly 250 years ago, the 56 signatories to the Declaration of Independence signed their death warrants to secure unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness under attack by King George III and his powerful military forces. President Trump has bested the King’s tyranny. He is exercising the power to assassinate any person or organization on the planet as a putative enemy of the United States. Trump’s assassinations may have started with suspected drug traffickers. His dress rehearsal was assisting Israeli assassinations throughout the Middle East. Mr. Trump has articulated no limiting principle that would preclude assassinating political opponents, active or retired, including Members of Congress.
The lament of Pastor Martin Niemöller, inaudible during the rise of Hitler, should awaken you from your cowardly complacencies:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Sincerely,
Ralph Nader

Federal Judge Sides With Sane Democrats instead of Unhinged Trump
The Associated Press reported that U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C. sided with the sane Democrats and civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration over his illegal executive order to overhaul U.S. elections, ruling that Trump’s request to add a documentary proof of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form cannot be enforced. She ruled that Dementia Donnie's proof-of-citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.
“Because our Constitution assigns responsibility for election regulation to the States and to Congress, this Court holds that the President lacks the authority to direct such changes,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her opinion.
Way to go, Judge!
