- Reposted by Shawn HernanAccepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanThe Constitution disagrees. The Emoluments Clause, part of Article I, Section 9, Clause 8, bans office holders from taking ANY gifts from foreign countries. There is no mention of quid pro quo. That is because the Founding Fathers knew that even the *appearance* of corruption promotes corruption.

- Reposted by Shawn HernanTaking a bribe in a very public way doesn't mean you aren't corrupt, it means your corruption is shameless.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanThe fop who wrote "emoluments" instead of "bribes" to win Constitution Scrabble points fucked up big time.

- Reposted by Shawn HernanThere is no substantive case that can be made—none—that this is just or that this is moral. Or that this is good for the United States.
She came here as a toddler, and would have been eligible for DACA if the program was not ended. Now she is in ICE detention because she took a right turn on a red light. Her father is in the same detention center, arrested for a traffic violation two weeks prior. newschannel9.com/news/local/f...
- Reposted by Shawn HernanI've been fighting to stop Trump and the Republicans from changing voting rules and suppress voting rights for years. The North Carolina Supreme Court election is just the latest example of them trying and us beating them in court.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanI so appreciate @repsherrill.bsky.social calling out White Nationalism. The racist POS, Pete Hegseth removed Maya Angelou’s, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings from the military library but kept Hitler’s, Mein Kempf on on the shelf. #Voices4Victory #SheShed youtu.be/LmkZ220oTuA?...

- Reposted by Shawn HernanWhen you defy court orders and deny one man his Constitutional rights, you threaten them for ALL. Trump can post all he wants, but a federal judge said there's “no evidence linking Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or to any terrorist activity.” Trump needs to put up or shut up IN COURT.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanThis is how real conservatives feel, not the con artists in office, Fox News, podcast grifters, MAGA cultists and their Russia / India propagandist collaborators online. This is the real US. Chuck Grassley was completely stunned. (part 1) #3E
- Abrego Garcia was a legal asylee. The AG is not being truthful.

- Reposted by Shawn HernanDon't allow the fact that Tommy Tuberville is constantly saying stupid things to distract you from the fact that he is also constantly lying. According to the NCAA, there are less than *ten* trans athletes in *all* of college sports. Tommy Tuberville is an evil idiot.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanMan does President @barackobama.bsky.social have a point, and more people need to sit with what he has said:

- Reposted by Shawn HernanThis checklist is shocking. A person can be declared an "Alien Enemy" based ONLY on communications with someone ICE says is a member, and nothing more. 6 points for texting a "known member of TDA" + 3 points for Venmoing or CashApping a "known member" = 9 points = TDA member = sent to CECOT.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanThe “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king. That’s it. Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.

- Reposted by Shawn HernanNeed less focus on how the Signal group was stupid/reckless/funny/absurd/dangerous and more on how such mishandling of classified information is a CRIME
- Reposted by Shawn HernanAlso let’s be clear about why they’re talking over Signal — they are attempting to skirt their obligations under the federal record preservation laws and ensure no records exists for public review. It’s incredibly illegal, but what do they do that isn’t?
- Reposted by Shawn HernanNot a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal. You also can be sure this is not the only time.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanWhat you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

- Reposted by Shawn HernanThis Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.
- Reposted by Shawn HernanPaul Weiss and Columbia are taking exactly the wrong actions in acceding to Trump, and they are among the entities most well-positioned to fight back. These are legacy-shaming decisions by the leadership of both, and those far less powerful will now, and surely in short order, pay the price.

- Reposted by Shawn HernanPeople need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
