"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

Trump is closer to his goal of eliminating birthright citizenship. Those with migrant parents who vote Republican are voting for a party that wants to strip them of citizenship and deport them.

Don’t get it twisted—today’s SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship. Once again, they’re bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution. It’s shameful.

When you have a lot to hide and you want the American public to believe propaganda from the government instead of the truth, then a free press is your greatest enemy.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

The reason why the Trump admin is so obsessed with leaks from their own officials is because this entire admin is a house cards built on a foundation of lies. Truth is their kryptonite, so they have to intimidate and persecute those who tell it to try and hide it from the people.

Republican congressmen surely are sweating like everyone else under this heat dome. Unless they change course, they’ll have plenty of reasons to sweat in November 2026 for their reconciliation bill votes that do so much to injure our ant-climate change effort. www.cnn.com/2025/06/23/c...

The so-called “America First” president posting “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN” is really insane… even for Trump. Weird shit.

Apparently MAGA voted to occupy Gaza and develop it after displacing the population, run mineral companies in Ukraine, make Iran great again by installing a pro-Trump regime, selling scenic federal land to developers, Trump crypto scams, record deficits, and a trade war.

It’s always the person without combat experience that's the first to suggest dropping a bomb. We must do everything we can to de-escalate the situation in Iran to protect our troops in the Middle East.

There is ZERO evidence Iran is close to building a bomb. Tulsi basically said as much a few months ago. They've presented no compelling evidence to the American people. Good on Chris Murphy for calling that out 👇

I get the impulse for Democrats to focus on the strikes being illegal, but we sound like Chicken Little on that stuff. Make that case, sure—but focus more on the fact that they’re lying to us about the need for the strikes & how escalating the situation in Iran is going to make everyone less safe.

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people. Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

It's understandable we all mostly take it as a given that Trump doesn't bother to adhere to Constitution or the laws passed by Congress, but it is still both (a) absolutely necessary for our democracy and (b) good political strategy for Dems to file articles of impeachment over this.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Senate Republicans want to sell off 3.3 million acres of public land to fund tax cuts for billionaires. This is not about housing. It is a scam that threatens our outdoor heritage, wildlife, and public access. We will fight this land grab every step of the way.
