We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

My colleague laying it plain. Thanks @senangusking.bsky.social

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

The law allows only one single extension, so #Trump’s failure to enforce it is illegal. However, the Chinese owners of TikToK have announced they are buying “Trump Coins” for $300 million. 1/2

Too much power to make decisions impacting the global economy and global stability is in the hands of one unstable man, who is a terrible decision maker surrounded by sycophants. Pray for our country. 🇺🇸

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

Reminder: in broken and gerrymandered states, politics ceases being about public service…and it warps into a corrupt form of private service, where politicians use public power and raid public assets to serve private interests. This Browns fiasco offers the perfect case study:

Once again, Gavin Newsom is stealing my trolling beat. Curse you, Gavin!!!

Trump's idiot followers (ie every Republican Senator) want to sell off FORTY PERCENT of public land? That is 40% of OUR land.

The Asshole-in-Chief.

Both sides news coverage is killing democracy and there is no place where it is more dangerous that in how legacy media covers the GOP attacks on free and fair elections. For my latest and to access all Democracy Docket premium content, sign-up now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

“Over 250 million acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the bill, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas and inventoried roadless areas.” www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

Hmmm … I wonder why Trump wants to cut back on prosecutions of tax cheats? 🧐

This is perfect

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Yassss! Go Team 💙

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

Maga caught The suspect in the deadly Minnesota shootings targeting Democrats has been arrested www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

Large peaceful No Kings protest at Parma Ohio (suburb of Cleveland). We will not be silent.

Sen. SCHIFF: There are laws that say you can’t use the military for domestic law enforcement. Why? Constitutional law expert: This goes back to our founding. We did not want our military engaging in domestic law enforcement at the behest of potentially corrupt politicians.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

“You see plenty of elected officials getting into it with each other. You do not see the FBI or secret service dragging their colleagues to the floor and cuffing them…It is the ethos of this administration to treat people not as colleagues, but enemies." - @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

“Nobody knew who he was” — Kristi Noem on a US senator

The sheriff said they’ll kill you, then call your family for the body. THIS. IS. FASCISM.

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs
