“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Things money can't buy, on this very good day for democracy, and for the Democrats.

Louder for the old school Dems in the back!

on your first day being accidentally added to a group chat for war crimes, use the most emojis to assert dominance

A-fucking-men.

Absolute 🔥🔥 from Sarah McBride: "We will not take a lecture on decorum from a party that incited an insurrection. I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues. The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues. It is weird and it is bizarre.”

I'm telling you: this is what it looks like. And what it looks like is this: www.annefrank.org/en/timeline/...

I called my Senators this morning to urge them to vote NO on the budget resolution. Here is what I said (SCRIPT): Hello, I am a constituent. My name is __ and my zip is __. I am calling to urge the Senator to vote no on the budget resolution because I am gravely concerned about cuts to--

I am so disgusted by the GOP. There is no way to forgive the level of evil and ignorance. The republican voters should be ashamed. They wear self-righteous masks to cover their shameful lack of morality. We have lost our society and country.

Dude talks about a female volleyball player receiving a traumatic brain injury because of transgender people in sports. What about the brain injuries to officers because of your goons you sent to attack us.

Trump says “it may be a little bit of an adjustment period” for American farmers JESUS CHRIST.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

It was for transgenic mice, used for research because you can get a certain human gene in them. There are no transgender mice.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

MSNBC? I did not see that coming.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

Richest man in the world muses about Jailing reporters, nothing to see here

Heads up, Floridians!

feels like every single headline this morning is some version of IN SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT, TRUMP DOES EXACTLY WHAT HE’S BEEN PROMISING TO DO FOR LITERALLY YEARS

Bingo. Say this. Every day. Every hour. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

A reminder to DOGE.👇 "It is long settled that courts possess inherent authority to initiate contempt proceedings for disobedience to their orders, authority which necessarily encompasses the ability to appoint a private attorney to prosecute the contempt." -Young v. U.S. ex rel. Vuitton (1987).

LOL the Foxnews commercials say “For All America” Hahahahhaha

"’America's competitors will relish this self-inflicted wound,’ Owens says. ‘We urge NIH leaders to rescind this dangerous policy before its harms are felt by Americans.’” www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

A Wake County Superior Court judge rejected a bid by GOP North Carolina Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin to overturn his 2024 election loss to incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by disqualifying over 60,000 lawfully cast ballots.

I think what a lot of folks don’t grasp is that in a land of malignant narcissists, eventually only one can rule. And one here has the power to remove the other. He just has to be motivated to do it. And he hates optics that give anyone else attention, or anything that makes him look weak or bad.

"What is left for all of us? A cynical shrug is not enough. We should demand that Trump pull back from his threat to issue mass pardons to the insurrectionists. We should insist that members of Congress speak out. We should shout from the rooftops." brennancenter.substack.com/p/trumps-pla...
