Democrats could write a bill right now that reverses everything in the current GOP bill & run on that. They could take their own "Big Beautiful Bill" to the people & promise to pass it first thing if they regain power. It would be clear to everyone where they stand on those issues. They won't do it.

Israel’s new war on Iran doesn’t change the fact that the genocide in Gaza is still ongoing. The only thing we can hope for now is that it won’t take thousands more dying on camera before Western governments begin to feel uncomfortable again.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Also, the nature of micro-blogging social media platforms doesn't allow for us to list every problem in every post. We know they exist, though. Promise.

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

I hope one of them is reading this or a staffer. Folks, just call leg counsel. Tell them the gist of what you want and also remember there are basically no rules for this anyway. These impeachment articles can say whatever the fuck you want them too.

An actual opposition party would be climbing over each other to file articles of impeachment, listing his wrongs and talking impeachment nonstop at every occasion, encouraging protesters and showing up with them in the streets

Also a reminder that not only can any member of congress file articles of impeachment, they can also force the entire House to vote on advancing those articles.

Tomorrow is a very good day to impeach a president and his entire cabinet. Today would be good too, but tomorrow will work for me.

Just a reminder that a majority of Americans already support impeachment, including 20% of Republicans.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people. Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

I think it should be a bigger story that the Senate is preparing to confirm five Trump judicial nominees whose answers to questions about the 2020 election are exactly what you would say if you were a “Trump only lost because of voter fraud” conspiracy theorist

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

If your concern about “illegal immigrants” is the “illegal” part, then you can easily solve that problem by supporting legal reform to make it simpler and easier for all to come legally. If you won’t do this, then maybe it’s not the “illegal” part of “illegal immigrant” that you don’t like?
