BREAKING: this is the big one! We @sddaction.bsky.social are proud to be part of a coalition of labor orgs, non-profits, & cities & counties suing to challenge the Trump admin’s reorganization of the entire federal gov. It's against the law! statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/massive...

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

Immoral. Corrupt. Cruel Unconstitutional.

Trump & Co. want immigrants to self-deport and queer teens to self-harm. This administration is morally bankrupt and I owe it nothing save my resistance and contempt.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children, after the government posted their home address to social media. Another convenient accident that continues to happen with the Trump admin.

RFKjr intends to institute a registry in order to track people who are autistic. Say a big, HELL NO to this effin' Nazi behavior. Because registry lists are exactly how it began in Germany 90 years ago. Call your congressperson. Call your senators. Make some damn noise. Get loud.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

"They're eating the checks! They're eating the balances!"

On one hand, it’s understandable to be sick about this Reddit troll behavior from the White House. I actually thing the public sympathy for Abrego Garcia and his plight is not something the Trump regime counted on.. and they are crashing out.

And we thought this time would be different.

Peter Brian Hegseth looks like a serial killer. Even has that three-name thing going. He should be declared a serial killer without proof, denied due process, and disappeared into a foreign gulag packed with known murderers. He might be innocent but why risk abiding by the Constitution?

Trump's tariffs have cost the US nearly $30 trillion, this translates to an additional $300,000 per family of four. That’s more damage than any economic policy pursued by any president in US history. He's bankrupting the country in real time. fortune.com/2025/04/04/l...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I think the administration of Felonious Cheeto would do well not to rely on their intelligence.

“Erik Prince wants to cut a deal to transport detainees from the US to El Salvador *** The proposal would “target ‘criminal illegal aliens’” and “attempt to avoid legal challenges by designating part of the prison…as American territory.” 4/11/25 1/

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

"The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Representative Jasmine Crockett on MSNBC. She is 100% correct.

Zelensky: We have their documents, even credit cards. They are citizens of China. I believe the United States of America needs to pay more attention to what is happening today. #standwithukraine

I don't know which is worse: the corruption or the incompetence. www.mediaite.com/politics/who...

BREAKING: Susan Crawford wins election to Wisconsin Supreme Court--called by Decision Desk HQ, Elon Musk's candidate got absolutely trounced.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

Trans Day of Visibility should be a day of joy, but it feels somber this year. The onslaught of attacks against trans folks seems endless, so I just want to say this: Trans people deserve respect, freedom, and autonomy. They deserve to live their lives as their true selves without fear.

This is just your reminder that @schumer.senate.gov must resign as Leader of the Senate's Democratic caucus. He lacks the courage to hold Trump accountable.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

I celebrate every Disney Princess, but the best of all of them will always be Carrie.

Several ppl responded to my posts re Schumer stepping down by saying I needed to watch his interview w/ Chris Hayes. I did. I saw nothing to change my mind. He defended his decision, but didn’t recognize the level of crisis we’re in. Sen. Murphy seems to get it. youtu.be/EqLfXzzPB0g?...

Neville Chamberlain, 1938, paraphrase: "Hitler's bad but we gave him the Sudetenland so we are not at war yet. Now if he attacks Poland then we will really be at war. " Schumer: "We just let this spending bill through. If Trump ignores the Supreme Court we're really in a constitutional crisis."

Hey, them sure are some nice power plants. Be a shame if something were to happen to them.

The people need leadership who understand their struggles & will fight for their causes-not someone who goes on a book tour while the country is on fire. Chuck Schumer needs to step aside and let new democratic leadership bring new solutions to modern problems. youtube.com/shorts/QqBiy...

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

Are you tired of winning yet?

The Democratic Party needs real leadership - NOW. Schumer’s capitulation proves what we’ve known for too long: our leaders are failing us. We, The Reformers, are here to change that. We are reclaiming our party for the people. It’s time for @schumer.senate.gov to step down as Minority Leader.

Mad at Schumer? Have a D for a Senator? Call and tell them that they need a new Leader.

WTF, Chuck?!
