These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

I don’t understand why so many people can’t seem to grasp that they don’t care if they have legal authority to shoot people. Stop worrying about the insurrection act. Seriously just stop. The only way this regime falls is if people fight back.

Right now, Trump’s Tax Scam is being rewritten by Senate Republicans before heading back to the House for a second vote. Every change to the bill (and every day they take) makes it that much harder to pass both chambers. This is why we’re focused on delaying the GOP’s process as much as possible.

“He’s not a strongman. He’s not even a leader. He’s a man throwing a tantrum because the world won’t revolve around him.” Trump’s allies are turning on him—Musk, Barrett, Powell—and he’s losing his grip. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-emp...

On Musk’s attacks on the Abominable Bill, Republicans say: “I think the question for our members is going to be, ‘Would you prefer the alternative?’ And the alternative isn’t a good one.” Yeah, it’s a bunch of angry billionaire donors not getting their tax favors.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Over 1,400 No Kings events are planned in all 50 states and abroad. We truly have the opportunity to make June 14 (the day of Trump’s military birthday parade) one of the biggest days of mass protest of our lifetimes, but we need everyone who's able standing with us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Dear Mr. President: Maybe if you stopped doing stuff that is so obviously, flagrantly illegal, and listened to real lawyers instead of MAGA stooges, you wouldn’t be constantly getting your ass kicked so badly in court. Just a thought.

We must always remember the brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice and reflect on the cost of our freedoms. My thoughts and gratitude are with Gold Star families in Central New York and the Mohawk Valley who carry the weight of that sacrifice every day.

Do you notice how, while some people spend their days breaking things, others, more of us than them I believe, just keep mending. Humble, patient, skilled, never done, usually messy, the handwork that holds the world together.

The group Indivisible is putting billboards up in 9 swing districts, pushing constituents to call their Reps. and speak out against the GOP’s “disastrous cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.” Indivisible also announced that there are already more than 700 protests planned for June 14th—Trump’s birthday.

Right now, Democrats should be unified in opposition against Trump’s Tax Scam and Republicans’ corruption. Unfortunately, some Senate Democrats are on the verge of helping the GOP advance a bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Please call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal...
