With Democrats like this in a two party system where money monopolizes our political system it’s going to be damn near impossible to fight back fascism electorally. Do NOT vote for Haley Stevens in the MI Primary for US Senate! They’re conflating anti-Zionists with antisemitism!!

Look, there are consequences for voting to confirm people like Rubio and Noem, for voting for the Laken Riley Act, and for doing promo photo shoots with ICE & CPB. Until now, these consequences have been felt by others. Use the power that you have to start fighting this.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, this guy, and fuck ICE. They aren't worried about treating immigrants like real people with real families. Well, turnabout is fair play.

We're no longer the leader of the free world. We're no longer a beacon of democracy and justice. We're no longer the land of opportunity. We're no longer a nation in which no one is above the law. Our myths about ourselves are killing us. What to do? davidrothkopf.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

If Democratic congressional leadership don’t lead an en masse halt to all legislative business after today, I don’t know why they’re worth supporting. What moment could more demand a response of intractable and tedious opposition? Shut it all down, and refuse to budge.

Whitmer got a taste of national relevance and wanted to run for president so she watched Harris cater to the center, lose, and is immediately mimicking that. Incredible stupidity

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

Yeah, the SAVE Act is an attack on women’s rights, and that is absolutely horrible and needs to to called out. The attack on trans rights seems to be getting lost in the shuffle, though, and should also be called out.

Every senator and member of Congress should immediately and voluntarily disclose any stock, bond, or similar trades they have made in the last ten days.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

It’s wild to watch governors who are willing to roll up their sleeves and fight the administration while ours talks about the need for bipartisanship.

We need to focus more broadly than events in the White House. The entire GOP is working to give our Federal lands to private interests. Eliminating Federal land jobs will discourage public visitors. Extractive industries will do permanent damage. We must stop the privatization of our land.

The economy is in free fall. The markets are collapsing. Our soldiers are dying. Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail. Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons. And Trump is fucking golfing.
