My latest at @msnbc.com: "Every member of Congress, like the nation as a whole, faces a binary choice: It’s Trump or the Constitution. We can have one or the other but not both."

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

To ensure fair elections in 2026, we must stop the GOP’s voter suppression bill in the Senate. House Republicans have passed legislation that would restrict access to the ballot & end online and mail-in voter registration. Tell your senators to protect voting rights by rejecting this dangerous bill.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

This is a version of the great white replacement theory - a racist conspiracy belief. Stephen Miller claims the Biden administration deliberately flew “illegal aliens” into the country so they could vote. And Elon Musk, a superspreader of conspiracism and extremism, endorsed Miller’s claims.

🔴 Russian missile strike on the city of Sumy killed at least 21 civilians and injured 83 others, including seven children. The attack occurred on Palm Sunday, when people were on their way to church to celebrate the Feast of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.

On Palm Sunday a big missile attack on Sumy, with 20+ people killed and more injured. No, not 2 sides can be blamed for this. Putin is evil. Russia is the agressor, and commits acts of state terrorism. Ukraine deserves our full support! Each attack strengthens our resolve! 🇳🇱🇺🇦

@ninajankowicz.com’s testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee this month was truly impressive. I’ve testified about two dozen times before the House and Senate. It’s not easy to rebut lies during a hearing premised on lies. And she did it - a real masterclass. Read her piece too:

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

One thing that characterizes all dictators is a lack of fundamental humanity. Putin poison or defenestrates dissidents, throws Russians as cannon fodder in waves to die in Ukraine. Xi sends millions of Uighurs to concentration camps. Kim tortures, executes his own with glee. 1

Two weeks ago I did a thread on how the Founding Fathers declared independence from the crown for behaving literally the same way as the Trump administration. It's getting worse and Americans need to connect today's events to this founding document.

Greg Abbott’s stalling the TX-18 election to help Trump’s agenda—keeping a safe Dem seat empty for 7 months. @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social isn’t just another name on a ballot—he’s the next-gen fighter. He’s calling Abbott out and ready to raise hell in Congress for people the GOP tries to silence.

After the events of the last few weeks, we need to change our language. Can we stop saying Trump wants “peace”. He is a war focussed president, who is happy to increase US military operations in the Middle East and to see the war in Ukraine continue. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
