Reminder: Republicans are facilitating a massive transfer of wealth to the richest Americans while making cuts that would rip away healthcare and food from millions of people. It's Robin Hood in reverse.

The latest attempt, today, at distracting us from the worst budget bill in history is by saying he wants to attack immigrants in big cities in blue states.

Energy matters in politics. It especially matters for Trump. Today, all the energy was with the pro-democracy team. Republicans in Congress should be very worried.

It turns out that the very best No Kings Day protest yesterday was the one staged by the United States Armed Forces in Washington—because if you've seen any of the military experts on social media or cable news today you know that their poor marching was deliberate and intended as an insult to Trump

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Just to put it in perspective: Trump’s birthday parade drew about 8,600 people. Meanwhile, Connecticut held 30 rallies, and over 10,000 showed up in Hartford alone. Donald Trump got ratioed by Hartford, Connecticut. On his birthday.

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

Occasionally, Trump and his team have a 24-hour period that makes an authoritarian vision clear. From yesterday: - Trump talks up Newsom's arrest - Hegseth hedges on honoring court rulings - Noem to “liberate” LA - Padilla manhandled, cuffed - Trump touts “remigration,” scrambles to federalize Guard

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

Goldman: "These are people doing in the right way, who are nonviolent, noncriminal, and they're getting arrested. So what message does that send? Obviously it sends the message, 'Go further underground. Don't appear in court. Don't pay your taxes' ... that's just going to make the public less safe."

The Republicans did what they did to Alex Padilla because they’re LOSING AMERICA! They won’t answer questions because they’re losing the “public opinion” debate. The PEOPLE are coming, GOP, whether you like it or not!

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

I'm tracking the states Trump has attacked or is about to attack in his war against America. As he says the attacks are solely motivated by policy, we should not expect to see any trends. 🟦 = Democratic 🟥 = MAGA 💥 🟦 California 💥 🟦 Illinois 💥 🟦 New York 💥 🟦 Pennsylvania 💥 🟦 Virginia 💥 🟦 Washington

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.
