These are dangerously political new waters. Without precedent. I can’t remember a recruiting ad with ANY SecDef—or even a President. I’m sure someone can dig through the archives and check. x.com/danlamothe/s...

Beyond parody.

“Protected class" began as an aid to the disadvantaged, an express attempt to combat discrimination based on characteristics such as race and sex. But decades later, it has become a tool for the oppressor. Read how President Trump twisted the law to protect white men.

um…

We’re still standing strong. Democracy demands daylight. MAGA deals despotism in the depths of darkness. We’re fighting 1,000 pages of top-down class warfare against the American majority.

We don’t need spineless political operatives in Congress like Mike Lawler, we need people who will get the job done.

Australia’s prime minister is headed to China to visit President Xi Jinping later this year. Canadian PM Mark Carney should consider doing the same as Canada looks to diversify trade away from the United States.

The GOP's budget would make brutal cuts to food assistance and our colleagues won't shield veterans from their cruelty. Veterans are not waste. They're not fraud. And they're not abuse.

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Omfg... They've outdumbfucked themselves.

Mock this all you want but a hallmark of a totalitarian regime is holding "elections" where the winning candidate wins over 90% of the vote. This is not just the ramblings of a senile old man. This is where Trump wants to take us.

AP reports >> Immigration authorities appear to have begun deporting migrants from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan.... [Attorneys state] those removals would violate a court order against deporting people to countries other than their homelands without an opportunity to file court challenges.

President Trump is funding a genocide, too. Just as President Biden did. Our tax dollars have been used by both administrations to rip Palestinian children apart. This is what should upset us, not those with the courage to call it out.

Don't miss the scariest committee hearing of the year.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”

This is the weaponization of government—full stop. If you speak out against them—or in this case do your job—they will come for you. What we’re seeing with @replamonica.bsky.social is a political stunt, and we won’t stand for it.

“We’re starting to see some of the worst-case scenarios play out almost in front of us. At current warming of 1.2C, sea level rise is accelerating at rates that, if they continue, would become almost unmanageable before the end of this century, [which is] within the lifetime of our young people.”

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Never mind, who's the Dems contender for 2028. Focus on who'll step up for 2026. If members of Congress (and us) don't step up to this challenge in 2026, 2028 won't matter.

So I guess it matters if you stand for something. www.mediaite.com/news/aoc-see...

I am so done with Morning Joe. They actually invited Tapper on the show this morning. Done! Biden is history and what's going on now is a raid on our democracy by a convicted felon, his Project 2025 cronies, and an impotent Repube Congress. Can only get the truth from Maddow, Hayes and Psaki!

An almost impressive level of straight faced lying.

Wow the founders were wrong to not define their concepts like due process and habeas corpus so that a future president couldn’t completely invert their meaning

"Springsteen didn’t pull any punches — no references to 'our national divide' or 'both sides' or 'polarization.' He was direct, angry and precise in his language." - @guitarwatson.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/opinion/no-n...

Exclusive: FEMA is ‘not ready’ for hurricane season, internal agency review shows; I truly hope the first Hurricane slams in Mar a lago and FFOTUS is playing golf.

Igor Blaževič thinks active civil society is key in standing by democracies, whether the gov’t is ur partner or not I sat down w him in Prague to talk abt how that might look Read more abt what he said in our interview @brookings.edu 👇--TN www.brookings.edu/articles/the...

Joe Biden led with decency and purpose. He earned respect, not revisionism. The real crisis isn’t behind us—it’s raging in plain sight. Eyes forward. New from Jen Rubin.

Dear ICE, Start arresting the owners or the bosses that hired the undocumented immigrants. Just try and see what takes place.

Nearly final CBO score of the GOP reconciliation plan is out. Their bill would cut program spending by $1.5 trillion but spend $312 billion more on defense, ICE, etc., for a total of $1.2 trillion in spending cuts. Plus $3.6 trillion in tax cuts. For a total of $2.4 trillion in higher deficits.

The deadline for a much-hyped White House report on making IVF more accessible has come and gone, and it's unclear if it will ever be publicly released. “IVF is a big deal. This President has made it a big deal. It impacts a lot of people in our country, and we’re waiting."

NEW: This tribal lender has boosted the economy of its Alaska town. But some tribal members are appalled by the millions it’s made off desperate borrowers — much of which, lawsuits allege, has gone to outsider Jay McGraw, son of Dr. Phil. With @adn.com

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

Secretary Collins continues to suppress & deny Congress & veterans key info around his careless cuts & workforce firings—including plans to cut 83,000 VA employees. We need the full Senate to be allowed to vote & debate on political nominees—not rubber stamp them without question.

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.
