Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…

Amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions in ICE facilities, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking further steps to continue skirting congressional oversight. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

🚨Please share this vital information Bluesky..

It is kind of important to not grow immune to the President of the United States frequently demanding that the nation’s major private media companies fire correspondents who provide critical coverage of him on TV.

The Speaker of the House insisting that Congress doesn't and shouldn't have a say in use of military force abroad is a pathetically weak abdication of Constitutional duty. The Founders anticipated the possibility of a tyrant. But they didn't think Congress would eagerly forfeit its own power.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

I really really really encourage you to read (or listen to) the whistleblower letter about Bove's actions in the Alien Enemies Act Case, the Abrego case, and the South Sudan/Djibouti case. Andy McCabe and I have just released the audio version, for free, here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

A wonky but important and encouraging update from an otherwise feckless legislative branch. #RadioFreeAmerica thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/byrd-rule-...

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Judges shouldn’t fear for their lives just for doing their jobs.

Not to rain on everyone’s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

Wallace: To hear him do his “bit” about it—it’s trivializing the gravest part of the job. And to think about him actually being in that capacity again, as the country’s only commander-in-chief? It’s tragic. It’s really one of the most tragic parts of having him back as president

Senate Intel Vice Chair Mark Warner:   "The president must come before Congress immediately to articulate clear strategic objectives and lay out how he plans to protect American lives and ensure we are not once again drawn into a costly, unnecessary, and avoidable conflict."

He was humiliated on No Kings Day, so he bombed a country to self-soothe.

“I didn’t vote for this”

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

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.

Today’s GOP doesn’t want votes, it wants power. That’s why they gerrymander, purge voters, and pack courts. It’s not about democracy—it’s about dominance. If we don’t call it what it is—minority rule enforced by fear—we’re sleepwalking into tyranny.

Don’t blame me, I voted for the first black President, the decent man from Scranton and the two highly intelligent successful talented supremely qualified women.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Orange felon: No New Wars Also Orange felon: I just bombed Iran and entered the US into war without any Congressional approval. Fuck you to everyone who voted for this.

Per CNN’s @mkraju.bsky.social: Top Dems on House and Senate Intel Committees were not briefed on Iran attack

Florida's censorship campaign is ramping up. Schools in four new counties have started pulling LGBTQ+ books and books that deal with sexual assault, under pressure from the Attorney General, who has claimed they are "patently pornographic." www.tampabay.com/news/educati...

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

I love to watch / listen to TikTok political lives. These guys are my faves because they don't do the gotchas or immature insults. Just fair, respectable entertainment for nerdy political junkies like me. Check 'em out! @imreallyimportant.bsky.social and @picklesggs.bsky.social

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

NYC Comptroller, Brad Lander, repeatedly asks for these masked people (purported federal agents) to produce a judicial warrant.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.
