Can someone please explain WHY would so many Dems vote against impeachment? I really would like an educated answer or two.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

I'm going to try and get some sleep. Hopefully, Dementia donald @realDonaldTrump won't do anything too stupid tonight!

There was a contested primary in my city council district (39) that I thought was going to be close that looks like it will not be close.

Explain it to me again like I'm a child as to why we don't want to raise the taxes on rich people?

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

In 100-degree temperatures, 546,167 New Yorkers went to the polls today, and it's not looking good for Andrew Cuomo.

If Mamdani *were* to pull this out, what’s the over-under line for how much outside SuperPac money comes in to the general to try to stop him? $100 mil? $200?

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

NEW: A preliminary classified US report says the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, setting the program back by just a few months. So much for obliterate!

Three years without Roe. Every day since has put lives at risk, especially for the most vulnerable. The Supreme Court took away a right — but we will not accept this. The fight for full reproductive freedom is far from over.

“It must be added that the (white,powerful Christian Right)men who most “respect” embryonic life 🥜 are the same ones who do not hesitate to send (young) adults to death in war..” ~ Simone de Beauvoir

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

And, a whole lot more than -

Mic drop.

No need to buy a vowel.

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...

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Listen to this son speak about his father, the military service of he and his brothers and the love for this nation by all of them. There needs to be a faster road and less expensive road for immigrants of all kinds to become citizens. www.msnbc.com/deadline-whi...

Our government by the People for the People is supposed to lift up and help the People. We are in a time that our government is doing the opposite unless you are wealthy.

More importantly, 79 members of Congress voted no. The members of Congress who voted against the motion to table recognize that in order to uphold their oath to the constitution, they need to proceed with the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. berrima.eocampaign1.com/web-version?...

And now with the blessing of SCOTUS. "Mr. Bove “stressed to all in attendance that the planes needed to take off no matter what... [...] “Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order,” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Russia struck a village in Sumy region overnight with a massive drone attack—3 killed, including an 8-year-old boy. Six more injured, among them 3 children. Around 30 homes damaged.

A message for Black NYC voters. Let me know in the comments if you’re voting today… ✔️🗳️ #ElectionDay

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

They thought masks and no name tags would protect them. ICE agents are being unmasked—names, faces, badge numbers, and insurers. When the reckoning comes, they won’t hide behind “just doing my job.” There are more of us than them. You can run. You can lie. But you can’t hide. icelist.info

The Supreme Court approved this today.

Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards. Me, via “One First”:

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

Jeffries: The reason the Constitution—and the wisdom of the framers—gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war and authorize military force is so there can be an informed public debate.

100 days. 💔

BONDI: I was attempting to answer your question. Very calmly. Unlike you. DeLAURO: Excuse me? Excuse me? Answer yes or no. I don't want to hear all of your filibuster.

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

Dementia donald j. trump

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.” Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?” He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

DEAN: Do you have any concerns about your conflicts of interest and the president's? BONDI: What I would be concerned about in Pennsylvania is all the child sex cases DEAN: Did you hear my question?
