BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

#ApartheidIsrael is intolerable. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

As a child, the U.S. government forced George Takei and his parents to live in an American internment camp during WWII. After the war, his family was left without a home or any resources to get by. He went on to become an award-winning actor and a lifelong advocate for immigrants' rights.

“We’re all going to die” -Woman with government healthcare who is cutting Medicaid

We have a city council ready to pursue a Barcelona or Copenhagen inspired development model while the local business class is full of Reaganites & greenwashers who want to sell you the same old BS with a new wrapper.

1/ A self-described "Bernie bro" took issue with the fact that I said we should not make saviors of politicians and she said, "I bet you regret criticizing Bernie you lost 200 subs in 1 day". So let me make this clear: I do not compromise my integrity for clicks. I do not pander to get subs.

You may not have heard that Trump cut funding to keep 6.2million struggling Americans from dying in the heat of summer. Half of them are elderly. Don't tell me it's not eugenics. Don't tell me Trump is making anything great. It's just cruelty and suffering as long as we are under this regime.

A little knitting in the sunshine at the rose garden in the park.

There's no part of this country the Trump regime isn't wrecking. He doesn't care about working class people. He doesn't care about the blue collar folks who voted for him. Our fisheries are just starting to realize that.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Canadian Stephanie Case, who started 30 minutes after elite runners, placed first among women with a time of 16:53:22, making headlines globally for the viral race photos where she's breastfeeding her six-month-old baby. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Not a coincidence.

Over and over again, those who fought showed good judgement. The remainder? Not so much. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Is anyone else having trouble reading novels or watching movies set in "normal" modern times? I feel so disconnected from that reality at the moment. I keep DNFing books 10-15% in and reaching for dystopian fiction. And movies? LOTR on a loop, if anything.

Can't protest in person? Can't stop shopping from Amazon? There are endless ways you can actively resist the Tr*mp regime. Your contribution is needed. Your contribution matters. We need you.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. When we fight, we win.

As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.

9 to 5, yeah, they got you where they want you There's a better life and you think about it don't you It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet - Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 Trump + GOP: wrecking the US to put our $$ in rich men's wallets.

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

The past few months have been tough, and we just want to say thank you. In the beginning, it felt like we were yelling into the wind, no one was listening. But then you all showed up. You raised your voices, shared the truth, and made the media pay attention.

It's a grift it's a grift it's a grift.

I know we want this nightmare to be over right now. But they spent decades rolling out their awful plan to bring us to this point. It's going to take time, effort, sacrifice, strategy, and mass resistance to get us out of this. But we can do it. And then we can build a US with prosperity for all.

Quack quack.

@oxfamamerica.bsky.social reminds us that the 10 richest in the US (all men, btw) made $365 billion under Trump. The GOP wants to give them a massive tax break while cutting programs we care about and hiking our debt sky high. It doesn't have to be this way. We can tax the rich and live well.

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

The federal agency that delivers $1.5T a year in earned benefits to 73M retired workers, their survivors, & poor & disabled Americans is engulfed in crisis—further undermining the already struggling org’s ability to provide reliable & timely service to vulnerable customers. It's a "cycle of doom."

What media you support is a statement of your priorities and your values. If you think Trump needs to work more effectively with a GOP Congress, support The Washington Post. If you believe we must fight for our democracy, then consider becoming a Democracy Docket subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
