Think of the 3.5 percent goal, or 11.5 million people, as the political equivalent of the four-minute mile. It might seem impossible, but it’s actually quite possible. bigthink.com/the-present/...

Chuck Grassley called out at a town hall: " Stop the use of the word ‘entitlement’ because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥🔥🔥 Fact: Social Security isn’t the government’s money. Seniors earned their Social Security by paying into it over a lifetime of hard work. #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I watched this segment...a make-up artist and hair stylist who said he is gay...not a member of a gang. Our country is not about "stealing" people away like this. This is kidnapping. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

After my events in Utah yesterday, I made a side trip to the site of the Topaz Internment Camp, where Fred Korematsu and more than 11,000 Japanese Americans were interned during World War II under FDR’s Executive Order 9066.

NEW: Another Skadden attorney has resigned in protest, citing the law firm’s decision to strike a deal with Trump. “Skadden is on the wrong side of history. I could no longer stay knowing that someday I would have to explain why I stayed,” the lawyer, Thomas Sipp, wrote in his resignation letter.

Democracy dies in silence. Thank you, Thomas Sipp, not only for speaking but also for acting to protect our democracy and the rule of law. This is what leadership looks like.

This is a wonderful profile of the irreplaceable @tomcartwright.bsky.social, who deserves enormous plaudits for his hard work in favor of human rights — and who has done more than anyone else in the country to help people understand the network of ICE deportation flights crisscrossing the world.

Over the past decade a generation of kids has seen their MAGA parents radicalized by a diet of 'news', entitlement, idolatry, and bitterness. Trumpism has taught them when they are not thriving, or when something goes wrong, it must be someone else's fault.

The real lunatic here is Marco Rubio trampling over people’s First Amendment rights. It is shameful that an individual who says his family was the victim of an authoritarian regime would send hooded agents to disappear people because of controversial speech.
