Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Biden tries to forgive student loans SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. Trump revokes part of the constitution SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Budgets aren't just numbers—they’re about values. We can grow our economy by investing in child care, housing, and health care that helps families. But ripping away health care from those who need it to fund giveaways for billionaires and corporations? That's morally bankrupt.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Today marks 10 years since SCOTUS legalized same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges. Despite this historic step in LGBTQ+ rights, today reminds us how hard we must fight against ongoing attacks on our community. The Constitution still matters. I’ll always defend it.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

One of the greatest Canadians ever. The man who started the ball rolling to give us our universal healthcare, although we just call it free healthcare whenever the fuck we need it. He had a thing or two to say on other subjects as well.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

I truly believe we will look back at this attitude as the sickness of our political era. It is an extremely basic fact, and has been for decades, that the vast majority of political violence in the US is committed by the right! You cannot solve a problem if you refuse to identify it.

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

Not even @betoorourke.bsky.social was handcuffed when he called out Greg Abbott in the middle of his press conference in Uvalde and he isn’t a standing US Senator. That’s why it was all the more spine chilling to see Senator Alex Padilla pushed to the ground. This isn’t normal!
