Chris Murphy: "Trump & the Republicans are trying to engineer the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor & middle class to the wealthy in history of the country...that's super unpopular. So how do you pass it? You can only pass it if you also destroy democracy & the means of accountability"

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

The Constitution is not a minor inconvenience to be ignored at whim but the operating system for our government and the binding covenant of the American people.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

💰 WATCH: “How is that happening?” 🤷🏼‍♂️ @aoc.bsky.social informs a confused RFK Jr. that his own HHS is stuffing the pockets of insurance companies by doubling the rates taxpayers pay them even as they defraud us. 🤔

He knew the court would order the planes turned around, and told his DoJ lawyers to tell the court to fuck off. This letter has already shown up in the South Sudan DVD case in a motion filed by the Plaintiffs at SCOTUS today.

Authoritarianism is here. This is not business as usual. Trump is weaponizing the law to punish dissent and instill fear. Thankful to have @massago.bsky.social testify in Washington about how Massachusetts is leading the charge against the Administration in the courts.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

If you voted for him, I hold you responsible for Iran. You chose this. You chose him. For the third time, you had a chance to reject his vitriol, to condemn his criminality, to prevent his lawlessness, to denounce his bigotry—and you flat-out refused. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

We REALLY need to stop saying every new heinous act is a distraction. It isn't a distraction, it's another checked box off the list. Each checked box is not a distraction from the last checked box, that's just how the media plays it. It's a list, not a distraction. People need to understand that.

Don't let them distract you. Republicans are trying to sell off millions of acres of your public lands to billionaire developers — all as they take away your benefits. Now is the time to make some noise.

Saying there are “too many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history. This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

Of course I worry, I would be crazy not to. As you say, no one is safe. The question is what do we do about it? We all need to find our own way to stand up and speaking out. For me that means fighting in court, writing, and speaking in public.

Swalwell: You were promised lower prices on day one. How many of you are feeling those lower prices? You were promised an end to all wars on day one. How many of you have seen an end to those wars? Donald Trump is 0 for 150. He made those promises on day one—and now we’re on day 150.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

Linden: Can you imagine if Donald Trump had run on no tax on tips—but only for a few years, only up to a certain amount, and only in a particular set of industries? That’s not a particularly compelling slogan—but that’s what the policy is.
