A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Gov. Tim Walz has called the shootings of Rep. Melissa Hortman & Sen. John Hoffman what they are: politically motivated assassinations. Tragically, Rep. Hortman & her husband did not survive. Sen. Hoffman & his wife are out of surgery, but no other details are available yet. Heartbreaking 💔

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

NEW: In the days since the MAGA melodrama erupted, six Trump advisers, senior administration officials, and others close to the president have told Rolling Stone that an anxiety shared among some of the Trump brass is that Musk may know too much.

The suggestion that Kristi Noem, a white woman, is the "delicate, beautiful, tiny" victim after a Latino man is physically dragged out of a room fits into the admin's pretext of criminality it attaches to people who are not white. Like Rep. LaMonica McIver.

Trump has appointed the same man, Steve Witkoff, as the U.S. envoy for peace talks involving Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Hamas and Israel/Iran. It would test the powers even of a veteran diplomat--a Henry Kissinger or Philip Habib--to conduct three disparate sets of negotiations at once. bit.ly/45jFrXL

They are bootlicking, milquetoast wimps. Cowards. Weak in the face of the very thing they were supposed to fight against. Limp in an authoritarian takeover. Pushovers in the fight against those who plan to harm their communities and families. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-bigges...

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)

Every protest I’ve attended in SC has been peaceful. Cops were kind and removed disrupters. This rhetoric out of DC is meant to instill fear and keep people away. Show up. Know your rights. Save democracy. #MomSky

1/4 Keep your eyes on Congress too! Today, the House is poised to vote on a devastating rescission package that would gut $9.4 billion from programs Congress already approved—including ALL federal funding for NPR, PBS, and critical international aid. 📢 Take action: tinyurl.com/Clawback-bil...

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

Friends, do not sit down if violence breaks out at a protest. Sitting down will put you in danger of being beaten and make you an easy target. Turn and walk back the way you came. I wouldn’t have even mentioned this, but “Occupy Democrats” has millions of followers 👇🏻

As a native Arkansan, this made me laugh out loud. Did you know her brother tortured and killed a dog but got off because their dad was the Governor? You can get away with rape and murder in that state as long as you’re kin to someone at the courthouse. Sarah is full of shit.

1/3 Listen to Masha Gessen, a journalist & expert on authoritarianism, warn we are entering “the most dangerous phase” normalization in the decline of democracy. This is the stage when repeated violations of democratic norms—actions that once shocked us—become part of everyday life.
