Democrats who want to move away from small dollar donors are actually Republicans and no, you cannot change my mind:

This is it. The plausible scenario is not that the 2028 elections don’t happen. It’s that they happen with every financial oligarch and major corporation backing the GOP. And every major media organization backing the GOP, except for The NY Times which is trying to be neutral.

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.

They’re going prosecute AOC and when they do, I don’t wane to hear a damn negative word about her on here whether you think she’s too far to the center or too far left. Normal politics are now cancelled until further notice.

Stealing the infrastructure we paid for. They're treating blue states and cities like we're conquered territory to be plundered.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

It’s extra important for your GOP senator to hear from you right now if you’re in one of these states. Call your senators and tell them to vote NO on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or send an email to your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

48 measles cases now in Texas. 13 hospitalized. All unvaccinated. On the same day Trump fired 1000 CDC researchers and scientists. Measles wipes out immune memory so some kids later die of other illnesses. America is very vulnerable and this outbreak could spread quickly.

That old saw about how “good times make weak men” is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they’re too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

For what it’s worth, Democrats did refuse consent on Vought. They tried to filibuster him, forced Republicans to jump through hoops and used up all 30 hours of allowed debate time, with an all-nighter on the Senate floor, and all 47 Dems voted NO each time. That’s about all they can do procedurally.

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

For safety’s sake, if you have parents or grandparents who actually collect Social Security right now, you should very strongly recommend they go to www.ssa.gov/myaccount/st... and print out a hardcopy backup of that while they still can. There is a very real risk right now this data may be deleted.
