Everyone should do this--speak out against the big ugly bill. Senate offices are closed, but their inboxes aren't. Let's get 1,000 more out by midnight: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

A long and -- at times -- brutal week. But we continue to fight for democracy with hope and determination. Thank you to everyone who has offered kind words of support on this journey. More soon. Goodnight.😴

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

I’m so fucking sick and tired of bad people being rewarded for doing bad things.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

“There is a well organized attempt to take advantage of the vulnerabilities our nation faces. The assassin in Minnesota did not come out of a vacuum but was part of a Christofascist movement that has taken root over decades.”

Oh

Iwo Jima. We bombed the hell out of Mt.Suribachi for days. The dead Marines on the beach showed how ineffective it was.

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

1/ Hegseth fails to answer question, twice by 2 reporters, on nuclear materials being moved out of Fordow before strike. Deflects by trying to criticize one of best reporters (Jennifer Griffin), who pushes back and Hegseth backs down on criticism On third time question is asked, Hegseth replies...

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

This quote made me cackle: “I can’t believe I even need to say this, but socialism doesn’t work,” said Anthony Pompliano, CEO of Professional Capital Management, a bitcoin-focused financial services company. “It has failed in every American city it was tried.”

This won’t succeed but it is not normal. This is very dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

SCHIFF: Did you suggest telling the courts 'fuck you' in any manner? BOVE: I don't recall SCHIFF: You just don't remember that

Ironically, in the 1920s Stephen Miller's grandparents, Jewish immigrants who settled in central Pennsylvania where they created the inter-generational wealth that helped fund Miller's lifestyle, were attacked with this exact same rhetoric from the immigration restrictionists of their day, the KKK.

Thank you, Glenn. We are all well aware. 🤣😂

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

You could've kept the oil? ... How?

Bove just made a claim about how judges presiding over Trump cases would feel about him. He claimed they'd say he was respectful. I wonder whether Tanya Chutkan (whom they demanded recuse) would feel about that claim.

WATCH: @sanders.senate.gov & @joerogan on our broken health care system and the “religion of greed” among corporations, 95% (!!) of which are owned by just 3 Wall Street firms — Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street

We need more women in power! I look forward to hearing this conversation with Jacinda Ardern about her empathetic leadership during her time as New Zealand's Prime Minister. Join me for this virtual event — I think it will be really inspiring! social.redwine.blue/s/tW8VI1Ua

Missouri adopted a law that ends St. Louis’ ability to run its own police, transferring control to the GOP-run state government. The law also requires St. Louis to commit 25% of its budget to policing. boltsmag.org/missour...

You couldn’t pay me to take a Tesla Robotaxi.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.
