If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

Judge Sessions is right. Neither Rumeysa Ozturk or anyone else in America should be in jail for authoring an op-ed critical of Israel, or on any subject. Trump and colleagues should read the Constitution and, especially, the First Amendment. Ozturk must be released immediately.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

People assuming that the government doesn't work is the result of ~50 years of nonstop conservative slander and propaganda with minimal pushback. Big Tech guys coming in and expecting to find massive fraud with no real value seems like a case of projection

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

Illegal arrests made by the Trump administration are intended to spread fear and silence dissent. We cannot allow Trump and his cronies to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian society in which people can be disappeared for their political beliefs.

Amazon planned to display cost of Trump's tariffs. Trump complained — Amazon backtracked. This of course comes after Bezos donated to Trump's inauguration and Amazon bought a Melania documentary. And remember that Amazon is being sued by FTC for antitrust violations. Hello?

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program. Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs. Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them. See how this works?

Let me thank my Senate colleague @vanhollen.senate.gov for his trip to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongfully imprisoned. As the Supreme Court indicated, there was no basis for his warrantless arrest. The Trump admin must obey the law. He must be returned home.

Trump’s attack on the American mind — on education, science, libraries, and museums — is an attack on the capacity of Americans for self-government. Democracy depends on people knowing what’s occurring around them and having the capacity to deliberate critically about it.

fascinating that kamala's first big public commentary on politics right now is an "i told you so" smugness while walz has been on weeks of "we fucked up and need to do better" and talking about trying to chart out some kind of actual future and bigger ambitions. quite a split
