Bernie Sanders: "For Mr. Musk and his fellow oligarchs, the needs, the concerns, the pain, the ideas, and dreams of ordinary people are simply an impediment to what they the oligarchs are entitled to. And that is really what they believe -- they are entitled to all the wealth and power they have."

Staffers at the nation’s cybersecurity agency whose job is to ensure the security of U.S. elections have been placed on administrative leave, jeopardizing critical support provided to state and local election offices across the country.

The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. — especially at the state level, where local election officials rely on CISA resources to securely run elections — at risk. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters. The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.

The NFL removed the ‘end racism’ text from their endzones once Trump got elected, in a clear nod to the notion that racism won.

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

When you have the majority in all 3 branches of government any legislation you want should easily be passed and upheld. I certainly don’t see any need for executive orders and absolutely NOBODY sees a need for Elon musk and his fake DOGE.

Tell Congress to reject the SAVE act, which would effectively be the end of all third party voter registration drives, end online voter registration & bar anyone without a passport or birth certificate that matches their current name from voting. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

We'd seen enough election irregularities on Election Day to question the result. And then, like the villain in every Bond movie, he bragged about how he did it. So WHY did they let him get away with it? Read my latest Substack and find out. brooklyndaddefiant.substack.com/p/trumps-con...

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

Many people are asking me if Elon Musk is stealing tax-payer money or using our private information to enrich himself? I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

Firing civil servant employees without due process, disbanding agencies created by statute, etc. Trump is violating laws. The real question is what can be done about it. Judges need to quickly rule on cases that come before them. When Trump ignores their orders, contempt imprisonment must follow.

in 1933, the German Communist Party had a slogan: "after Hitler, us." they figured he'd fuck up so badly that voters would vote for them in the next election. Hitler abolished elections and had all the commies murdered. do you see where I'm going with this

Elon Musk is an unelected oligarch. Americans deserve answers as to why he was given unrestricted access to the U.S. Treasury payment systems. This power grab is unprecedented, but my colleagues and I are doing everything we can to try to stop this.
