Folks: DEMOCRATS PLEASE DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!!! Booker: does a thing that gets a lot of attention and gets people excited and worked up and inspires people to fight and maybe convinced Schiff and others to block Trump appointments Folks: not like that

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

Schumer's whole plan, in his words, is "I am focused on bringing Trump’s numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," but when asked about specifics like Columbia & Khalil, he leaps to Trump's defense while admitting he doesn't even know the details.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) just heckled Trump, standing up, shaking his cane at him and telling him, “You don’t have a mandate!” Republicans almost immediately drowned him out with “USA, USA, USA” chants. Green has left the chamber. Follow live updates:

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

You know what would be really cool? A system of government where the whims of the head of state could be constrained by some kind of parliament or legislature, or there were some kinds of “checks” or “balances” that ensured that one person didn’t simply get to dictate how the government worked

Not only are trans issues rated as neutral impact… but they’re also listed as not that consequential. Staggering. What even can you say? Oh I wonder if any of the columnist who put this together are trans & feel that hatred. (Plus, why even have such a weird rating system? What’s going on here?!)

If you live in a Blue State, the most important thing you can do individually for America is get on your city council and focus entirely on building more housing. Many people in Red States will find their lives untenable very soon and need somewhere to flee to.

Republicans have waged a fifty-year campaign against the federal government, making any charge of inefficiency or incompetence more likely to stick. Democrats since LBJ have failed to make the case for why a robust federal bureaucracy is necessary to protect and improve the lives of all Americans.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I’m not going to pretend I know how to do political communications and speak to the median voter, but speaking only for myself, it’s incredibly dispiriting how few people in Democratic congressional leadership have shown any indication they understand the severity of this moment, as AOC does here.
