I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

It truly is amazing that Tulsi got this job and is keeping it right now. Good thing for her she befriended Lara Trump.

America has never needed an effective opposition party as badly as it needs one now; instead we have the most feckless Democratic leaders of the past 100 years. https://trib.al/XSs84Hx

GOP efforts to inject Christianity into public schools are thinly veiled attempts to impose their brand of morality on our children. They want to use our kids as pawns in their culture war,rather than providing them a comprehensive education. #DontDefundPublicSchools #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

🚨Rep. Mike Levin exposes secret provisions in the GOP’s budget like Tax Free Gun Silencers. 😳

This was an excellent & inspiring interview of @maddow.msnbc.com on the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social. We MUST continue to show up, speak out, be visible — to inspire courage in others to defeat this fascist regime. Nobody knows what happens next — but sitting on the sidelines is NOT an option.

Judge Sweeney blocks Trump administration's purported invocation of Alien Enemies Act 05/06: She writes that DOJ's stated assertion of presidential power over courts' authority "staggers." "It is wrong as a matter of law and attempts to read an entire provision out of the Constitution."

Pass it on…

Louder for the voters in the back!

I'm proud to announce Rivian is constructing a new supplier park in Normal — creating jobs and attracting investments from across the globe to Illinois. We aren’t just making EVs, we're creating an entire ecosystem that bolsters our workforce and strengthens the EV supply chain.

NEW: TeleMessage, the Signal knockoff used by Mike Waltz and potentially other gov officials to archive group chats in plaintext, has suspended all services after it was hacked *at least twice.* @404media.co reported a hack last night; a different hacker also broke in and gave me evidence.

She can win in a ruby red district, but she'll get creamed state-wide.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Donald Trump wants a big, beautiful budget bill—there is nothing beautiful about gutting Medicaid for seniors, children and veterans.... #HandsOffOurMedicaid

“Downloading and archiving data in private or non-governmental repositories is a double-edged sword. It allows archivists to make multiple copies… But saving such data on platforms owned by US-based companies could be risky if those companies are later compelled by the government to delete the data”

#ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory Americans have lost $10 trillion in wealth since Trump's "Liberation Day," all to collect (checks notes) $500 million in additional tariffs. Having fun yet?

About time!

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Dear @senlisamurkwoski.bsky.social Your place as a strong elected female Senator is to fight back with every vote you have. You were not elected to be afraid. So STOP and honor your oath to America! Big girl panties up! #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1

Universities should have independence from the government and following Harvard’s lead, the Big 10 schools which include MI State, Rutgers, Indiana U, etc agree to form a compact to fight off trumps threats. This is how to stand up and fight to protect our democracy! #MomSky

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

I wouldn’t plan a vacation here either if I lived elsewhere. There are cases of young women traveling here and being held in inhumane conditions by ICE for weeks. Who would want to risk that?

The Republican members of the North Carolina courts continue to try to steal an election Telling overseas military members-and others-that their votes may not count is a breathtaking affront to our democracy and their service - it’s cheating We will continue the fight for voters and for justice.

The world has stopped traveling to the US because of trumpism and his tariffs. The will cripple the US economy: #TrumpIsDumbAF
