🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

The California Democrat returned to the Senate floor Tuesday to warn that the Trump administrations response to immigration protests in Los Angeles should "shock the conscience of our country."

Under Trump's new rules, veterans can be refused care by individual doctors just because they are unmarried, are registered Democrats, or identify as LGBTQ. VA is for ALL veterans, not just whoever Trump says. Every Senator needs to demand that this policy be reversed.

President Trump just issued an executive order that would allow doctors to deny veterans care based on political views. This isn’t just unethical — it’s un-American. We will fight to protect every veteran’s right to care.

They are creating a shithole country absolutely no one wants to visit or live in…thanks, MAGA.

Political violence must always be condemned.

One Minnesota.

All the resources of the federal government are being used right now to keep Trump from seeing pictures from or critiques of his parade.

We are Americans around the world and we showed up today! #democratsabroad #notyrants

New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings" "Musk's staggering wealth allowed him to shepherd a chosen candidate into office, install himself atop the government informally, and systematically destroy it from within. That’s not what America is supposed to be."

Sure. Sounds like a great idea. Why not?

🚨…WE ARE BEING TOLD THE FRONT LINE OF THE INSURRECTION HAS MOVED TO THE HOME DEPOT PAINT AISLE. MARINES SUBDUED ONE DIY HOMEOWNER WHO WAS BROWSING CEILING PRIMERS AND TWO SUSPECTED CRAFTERS CARRYING A SUSPICIOUSLY LARGE NUMBER OF BEHR PAINT SWATCHES…SUPPORT DRONES REMAIN STUCK IN THE GARDEN SECTION…

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget. #HappyPrideMonth

Here’s a little something for your nightmares:

The man with the nuclear codes walked into a wall. 😬

Joe Biden led with decency and purpose. He earned respect, not revisionism. The real crisis isn’t behind us—it’s raging in plain sight. Eyes forward. New from Jen Rubin.

The GOP prioritizes tanning beds over hospital beds.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Oh, this is just rich. Republicans gutting healthcare for millions of Americans while making it cheaper to buy gun silencers. You can't make this up.

Republicans are not willing to eat on $6 a day but they want to force children to. Next thing you know, they will be forcing parents to feed their kids cat or dog food. That’s the Republican Party folks.

"Trump grift is so nauseating that it might help end the MAGA grift."

Trump is in the Middle East lining his own pockets and those of his oligarch backers. Such corruption is so massive that we don’t even really know how to talk about it. I try to frame some issues and the stakes in today’s piece.

This is how authoritarian state security forces behave in Turkey, China and other countries. Now America joins them.

I've said we need to litigate to protect voting rights everywhere. I am proud that today my team filed a lawsuit in Wyoming. This is how we expand the map for voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE just cut millions in Labor Department grants to support getting women into manufacturing & construction jobs & tackling gender-based violence & harassment at work. It may be illegal since some grants were mandated by law. New @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So we’ve seen plain clothes, ice agents arrest grad students, a mayor and countless others. Are they doing it to scare us? Are they doing it to distract us? Or are they doing it because they want to make a case for the “abolish ice” movement?

A fair question.

This is obvious but it needs to be repeated every single day. Republicans in the House and Senate own 100% of what Trump is doing.

Absolutely everyone this regime appoints are incompetent fools!!!

Americans are not intimidated. May 1st, people gathered across the country at over 1000 events to protest the billionaires and defend workers. We will not back down. See you at the next big day of action on June 14: No Kings Day cc @indivisible.org

Our country is mired in propaganda, corruption, lies and foreign influence. It’s where we are.

Given they're pursuing felony charges, they will at some point have to convene a grand jury and get an indictment for this to move forward. A criminal complaint does not suffice.

Trump keeps screaming about the need to deport gangs. How about the Proud Boys? They are thugs who led the attack on the Capitol on 1.6.21. Most have tattoos since that is the criteria to deport people. No need to trick them into going to an ICE office, Trump has their numbers on speed dial.

The rule of law isn't just words. It’s the bedrock stability that protects our way of life. Attacks on it merit more than a shoulder shrug & then a look away. I wrote a little bit to help you understand more about what it is & how it impacts our daily lives. joycevance.substack.com/p/rule-of-law

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.
