Here are the 16 Dems. I don't know what to tell you, folks. It's bad. Alsobrooks Blunt Rochester Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Lujan Ossoff Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner

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.

Why? Because this is the agenda & narrative that CNN, Axios, Politico and other mainstream media want to set for Democrats over the next 3 years? Fuck that and fuck them. Don’t play their DC cocktail circuit game, because Americans care about things affect their lives right now.

Notice how this works. A year ago, the subhead here would have said “which is expressly forbidden by the constitution.” But Trump floats a crazy assertion and then WaPo retreats to saying “which most legal scholars say..” Stop he said/she saiding truth. It is expressly forbidden. Period.

“Trumps says” is a cottage industry of reporting. It’s not very informative. How about “Despite lacking unilateral legal power to do so, Trump says Harvard….”

Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

I have confidence that Madison, Hamilton, and Jay would have agreed with us that a far better name for Sean Davis’s publication would be “The Fascist.”

Everything vile thing this administration should be shared and a bright light shown. The more we know the stronger we can become.

Kudos to President Garber and Harvard! I want to hear this from every university president. I'm looking at you @duke-university.bsky.social President Price.

Thinking about this quote, from JPMorgan's Michael Cembalist, today: www.jpmorgan.com/insights/out...

Agreed, and the more we amplify what Booker is doing, the more we make it matter, in public perception and as an example to other elected officials. On the other hand, the more we disparage and tear it down, the more we make it not matter. It's not all up to him.

Excellent question. Duke alum here wants to know the answer.

The hypocrisy is staggering and only outdone by the incompetence

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Which Illinois Democrat is ready to challenge Dick Durbin in next year’s primary? I’m ready to donate and work for your campaign.

I was on Senate Floor in October 1991 when Congresswomen marched over to protest the handling of the Thomas nomination. In the next cycle, incumbents lost primaries and women Senators were elected. I encourage House Democrats to make a similar protest tomorrow. @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

With an opposition party like this, what is the point?

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

Sen Dems vote against CR. Then demand a new minority leader.

Spend every dime to win the house. Primary senators who sell out

Never vote for a D who supports this. This is utterly pathetic

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

Brilliant show of statesmanship and solidarity. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer comes out to greet President Zelenskyy on the street. Starmer posted a clip of this moment on his X account. He stated: "Action, not just words. Britain stands with Ukraine, today and always 🇬🇧🇺🇦"

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels. Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

Upstanding Americans feel the shame of the degenerate spectacle yesterday in the Oval Office but can console themselves that the values and institutions we took the lead in building, now upheld by the free states of Europe, can uphold our values until America can beak free of its current captivity.

Remember when Lindsey Graham said, “there comes a time when you have to put country over party?“ Yesterday , Lindsey not only put cult over country, he put Russia over country. Utterly disgraceful.

Even Stalin would have been impressed.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Dear #MAGA when they cut your Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and SNAP, when they take away your overtime & unemployment benefits & cut your wages, when your food is no longer safe to eat, know that we liberals/Dems weren't fighting against you, we were fighting for you.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

It's infuriating to see Trump and Vance badgering Zelensky before the cameras. Two corrupt fascists abusing a democratic leader. I am ashamed of my country.

Now watching Trump yell at Zelensky. And Vance talk to him like he's a toddler. This is a shameful moment for United States diplomacy. It will be hard to recover from this.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth says he doesn’t know if Russia invaded Ukraine. This you?

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

I love @katiephang.bsky.social Someone at #MSNBC is executing very poor judgment.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender. Because something something working class champions.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.
