He is actually making the argument, with a straight face, that Trump’s crypto BS is all about helping out “struggling Americans working paycheck to paycheck” by making it easier for them to buy crypto. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the inevitable defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy.

Jake Tapper's book and the timing of its release will go down in history, and not in a good way. I love this for him.

They are so dumb. So very, very dumb.

Since he’s threatening any Republican who doesn’t support his bill that they will no longer be a Republican, I say switch parties now. Give Democrats a majority! We will work together to make a better bill!

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

Don't let up. Hold their feet to the fire. (DoJ: I do not mean to literally light feet on fire.)

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

Turned on CNN three times yesterday while running errands. First time was in the middle of a segment about Biden's age. Second time they were airing a promo for Tappers book, which is about Biden's age. Third time was during a panel discussion -- about Biden's age. Meanwhile . . .

Wishing Joe a full and speedy recovery. 🖖

IM JUST GOING TO LEAVE THIS HERE. 🤔

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

Bribery in plain sight.

Since leaving Twitter, I had forgotten Jonathan Turley existed. Apparently he is still obsessed with me. It is amazing people still pay him to teach them law. He is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

The grift is next-level, and it’s happening right under our noses in broad daylight. @pivotpod.bsky.social @karaswisher.bsky.social l loop

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that our client Rümeysa Öztürk must be released on bail immediately. She will return home to New England as her case proceeds.

Oops.

I knew it! The White House is considering SUSPENDING HABEAS CORPUS. And here I thought I was being paranoid.

That's all Trump and the MAGA movement is - lies. Constant lies. They lie to get elected and they don't care what groups of Americans they hurt in the process. It's exhausting - but that's what they want you to feel, exhausted. Don't let them. Keep fighting. #DonTheCon

Trump says he’s reopening Alcatraz for prisoners.

Pierre Poilievre in a nutshell. If ever there was a case to drain the swamp...

I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. The threats have changed since then, but its commitment has not. It will never bow down. It will never compromise. It will never will never obey. Sign-up now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

The great free speech champion refuses to do interviews with actual journalists and retreats to the safe space of a *checks notes* Lara Trump ‘interview’. LOL.

Dr. MemeNstein shared this.

Mark Zuckerberg’s charity quietly cuts funding for affordable housing, homelessness groups

I have talked about this ad nauseam.

Pushback works

Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm seems rather quaint now.

He sure did!

Imagine having the most powerful job in the world and still being desperate for attention by any means necessary.

This is blatantly anti-Catholic and makes fun of Catholicism. Will ANYONE in the Catholic Church speak out against it?

This thread. I can’t explain it, but I haven’t been to church since high school, and yet this deeply offended me.

🤥 It’s amazing how dumb Marsha Blackburn thinks we all are. 125 year olds are not getting checks or people would be getting arrested. Trillions in cuts to pay for tax cuts for the rich will mean cuts to all these essential programs, no matter what this habitual liar says.

NEW: The Trump Administration want's you to believe it's the most transparent in history, when nothing could be further from the truth. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/transparen...

I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠
