We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

MAGA, your president and the GOP want to cut your social security benefits, medicare, medicaid, SNAP and veterans benefits. This is what you voted for.

NIH has a nice graphic

MAGA, a picture you will probably try to spin.

The President has surrounded himself with stooges and sycophants who enable his worst, most lawless impulses. That makes all of us less safe.

Birds of a feather always flock together

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

I mean every word of this…

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

Freaking awesome 👏🏼

My new book, THE FOLDED SKY, drops tomorrow! Available wherever you get your books! If you don't see it on the shelf they will order it for you!

I know authors who won't listen to audiobooks of their own work, because it doesn't sound the way they would read it. It doesn't sound that way when your readers read it to themselves either An audiobook narration is the closest you'll get to being inside a readers head. The differences are a gift

I spy DEAD & BREAKFAST on this extremely good list!!!

Bravo this sign.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

I don’t even have the right words yet to describe today, but I know I’ll carry it with me for a long time. Thousands of us came together in Oklahoma City to march in the rain. We showed up because the stakes are too high to sit this one out. ⏬ 1/4 #NoKings

BRENNAN: The public approval is so high of deportation PADILLA: It depends how you ask the question. If you ask the same people, 'Do you think we should maintain due process in the US?' the answer is overwhelmingly yes

This man is the greatest threat to the nation in its history.

Imagine believing Friendless Urinal Cake swept all seven swing states when he can’t get anyone to come to his birthday party

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Trump's vanity parade cost us $45,000,000, which is about a million dollars for each person watching from the bleachers.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

Check out the "crowds" at Don the Con's giant ego parade.

@msappel.bsky.social got me the first book cake I've had in 25 years as a professional writer. Wonderful night.

The brave people of the United States are holding massive protests nationwide against the Trump regime, despite threats from the regime and its cult MAGA followers. The people have declared enough is enough, restore democracy, justice, and remove Trump. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

I must admit, if your response to this outpouring of democratic and anti-authoritarian sentiment across the US is to scold people for being “too naive,” “not radical enough”, “too old”, or “cringe” than it’s clear that your goal is clout-chasing and supposed purity rather than coalition building.

Portland, Oregon #NoKings

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Love this!!!

No tyrants especially cowards who are immoral morons

This has to stop.

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
