MSNBC:
Arrest of judge triggers public outrage

Rep. Jamie Raskin:
“Now they're arresting judges, and the first felony criminal charge brought against judge... Dugan... is interfering with a legal proceeding, which is essentially what they've been doing all along; what judge Boasberg is about to hold them in criminal contempt for...They...defied his order not to take off in those airplanes headed for El Salvador...”

Is America Pissed Off Enough at Trump and Musk for a General Strike?

The United States hasn’t seen such a massive labor action in 78 years. But the oligarchic wreckage of this administration is fueling multiple movements toward that goal...

Unlike a labor stoppage at one company or in one industry, a general strike is broader, involving workers in multiple industries and across an entire community, region, or country.

The two-party system has failed Black men: A dialogue on the need for a new system

Both the Democrats and Republicans are making a mockery out of the issues that truly matter for Black America. It’s clear that neither have – nor have ever had – a program for the Black working class.

'Absurd': Lawyer tears apart Trump DOJ's case for arresting judge

The Justice Department's case for criminally charging a Wisconsin county judge for allegedly interfering with the arrest of an unauthorized immigrant is "absurd" and manufactured out of whole cloth, an attorney who chairs the state's Elections Commission wrote in a lengthy thread on X.

REACTION: FBI Arrests Wisconsin Judge for Allegedly Obstructing ICE Agents

“The lawless Trump regime is in open defiance of the Supreme Court. Each day, the pathetic White House press corps watches Donald Trump sign performative decrees... dressed up as lawless executive orders, and they posit questions: does Trump have the legal authority of a dictator?"

“The constitution of the United States is the law of the land, not Donald Trump's decrees. KashPatel is a little Eichmann and he’s turning dangerous, Kristi Noem is a little Eichmann… Pam Bondi is a little Eichmann...this is an administration of little Eichmanns!”

“The Democratic party needs to stop fucking around. Democrats need to go out and face the American people… to say: we hear you clearly, and we understand what it is that we need to fight for.

REACTION: FBI Arrests Wisconsin Judge for Allegedly Obstructing ICE Agents

This arrest by the FBI of a judge in her courtroom in Wisconsin is an all out blitzkrieg on the rule of law in this country. This is a criminal lawless regime, and the American people must rise up, they must revolt against it, and they must take to the streets. We the people run this country, not the Trump regime...”

Veteran journalist and author Craig Unger, who has alleged President Trump is a Russian asset, accused him on Thursday of “throwing Ukraine under the bus so he can build Trump Tower Moscow. Witkoff has no experience in diplomacy but plenty when it comes to real estate.”

Trump goes after Fox News for highlighting his cratering economic approval ratings

It’s perhaps a bad day for... Trump when even Fox News is suggesting things may not be going so well...

It’s not the only major poll finding that Trump’s economic approval rating has cratered. A Reuters/Ipsos poll this week found that only 37% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, a record low for either of his terms.

‘I cannot imagine this case holds up ‘: Andrew Weissmann on the FBI arresting Milwaukee judge

“There has been a violation here that we know for sure, and it is not the judge; that's something that remains to be proved. The thing that we do know is that the FBI director has violated DOJ policy.” ...

Pam Bondi was on Fox News talking about how ‘we're going to go after judges’. That is what they're doing.”
