In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty. And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

WE'RE EXPOSING THEM: Trump thinks he's a king, and the GOP wants to crown him Buried in their ugly bill is a provision to restrict the power of judges to hold officials in contempt for violating court orders That would make it easier for Trump to defy the courts We'll use every tool to fight it

“Honoring The Original Patriots and Roots of #MemorialDay” On that May day, the shadows danced In Charleston’s aftermath, where chains had broken. The sun’s light pierced through history’s trance, As freedom’s first sighs in silence were spoken. African hands, calloused by the past, Gathered bones

When I see Abundance Liberals now openly celebrating the Supreme Court's new ruling advancing a plan to run spill-prone oil trains next to the major source of water for 40 million Americans living here in the West, all I hear is Dan Aykroyd. www.levernews.com/biden-admin-...

This is called "doing a Tapper"—coordinating a political shift to juice book sales, distance yourself from what policy-wise was one of the most successful administrations of the last century, and give a winking mea culpa to far-right idiots so they'll buy your book (though they can't/won't read it).

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Almost by definition, stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment. Either that characterization is wrong - or we are no longer a stable democracy. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-secret...

Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he lost money.

The Republican tax bill won’t just kick millions off their health care, it will SPIKE premiums and RAISE costs for EVERYONE. The cuts to Medicaid, attacks on the ACA, and surge in uninsured Americans will even force hospitals to close their doors. Congress needs to REJECT these cuts.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

THIS is why I pulled so hard for him to be Kamala’s VP choice. Not for the “they’re weird” stuff, though that was effective. Not because his plain spoken coach persona stood a chance with white men, though that was huge and still is. It’s that he didn’t squander his time in power. He got bold.

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.
