IF YOU VOTE YES TO ADVANCE TRUMP'S BUDGET, YOU SUPPORT THE BUDGET. DON'T HIDE BEHIND PROCEDURE—OWN YOUR VOTE. COWARDS.

Budapest's streets overflowed with Pride marchers on Saturday, despite the Orban regime's threats of legal consequences. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

They did their job. They convicted criminals. They’ve been fired: apnews.com/article/jan-...

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

And the people said…..

Absolutely outrageous. 😡

A while back, our Good Trouble assignment on the @dailybeanspod.com was to flood the National Parks feedback inbox. It worked. Keep causing #GoodTrouble www.sfgate.com/national-par...

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I sure as hell have noticed. How about you? 🤨

John Fetterman just voted AGAINST a resolution that would have forced Trump to go to Congress for approval of further military action against Iran. He needs to be primaried. NO EXCUSES FOR THIS- His stroke excuse ran its course.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

You must praise Dear Leader for his glorious accomplishments or he may come for you.

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.

This makes sense when you recall that Donald makes EVERYTHING about himself. And Donald doesn’t know how to drive.

Folx - if you are still with me after All of This, I have one sincere request — get your vaccinations as soon as you can. Get your shingles, your pneumonia, DpT, meningitis, whatever you have let lapse. If you are unsure, ask your doctor to order a titer test. 1/2 .

"Sorry Islamophobes, I'm a Proud Muslim American and, Like Zohran Mamdani, I'm Not Going Anywhere" The insanely bigoted attacks on Mamdani are out of control and designed to intimidate a vulnerable minority – but they will fail. Please read/share my latest for Zeteo: zeteo.com/p/sorry-isla...

Jasmine Crockett with the real talk!

ICE took my friend today. Please tell people not to go to their immigration hearings in Austin. They took my friend today.

Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution says that “The Congress shall have power to declare war.”

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

Say it with me. RFK Jr. is killing children.

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

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

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.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

This is the future of power everywhere and it’s really exciting.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

A federal judge in Tennessee just denied the government’s request to keep Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia locked up while it appeals his release. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. upheld the magistrate’s order to free Abrego Garcia,

Mitch McConnell, one of the 4 horsemen of the American apocalypse, said that the people worried about Medicaid cuts will get over it. Really? I hope nobody tries to thaw his ass out the next time he freezes up.

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

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

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

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

“I didn’t sign up to lie.” Bombshell accusations from a DOJ whistleblower on Trump lackey, Emil Bove. We witnessed Bove’s Senate Confirmation hearing today and saw why Bove is a danger to the rule of law. youtu.be/2UyzAWWAQpg?...

Rep. Pallone: You have made a number of major decisions about vaccines. You say you want transparency, but there's been no public process for any of this RFK Jr.: We have a public process on vaccines, it's called the ACIP committee Rep. Pallone: You fired the committee

Kamala was right about everything.

Me and Prem react to Zohran Mamdani's monumental victory in New York tonight. A slap in the face to the Democratic establishment, the right-wing media, and the pro-Israel lobby. Plus: Is America ready for the first South Asian, African-born, Muslim, socialist rapper in Gracie Mansion?

Mic drop.
