Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

Trump’s tariffs mean you could suffer higher prices and lose your job AT THE SAME TIME. Forget dolls, families will be forced to make impossible choices between necessities like food, housing, and health care. - Elizabeth Warren

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

RESULT: Conservatives have lost 2 critical school board seats they held in Fort Bend, Texas. This board adopted one of TX's most restrictive book banning policies, on a 5-2 vote. Voters ousted a conservative incumbent. And the right-wing candidate lost race to replace a retiring conservative.

Peter Dutton, leader of the right-wing opposition in Australia, lost his own seat today — amid his broader loss to the Labor Party that won reelection. Just like on Tuesday, when Pierre Poilievre, leader of the right-wing opposition in Canada, lost his own seat — amid his party's broader loss.

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences

A week ago, the Trump administration laid off thousands of people at HHS and its agencies. The cuts were so deep, and touched so much, we're still learning about the impacts. Here are a couple stories that have stood out to me. 1) @levfacher.bsky.social on the gutting of a pain-research office.

I think the Supreme Court got the law badly wrong tonight. But beyond that, it’s just incredibly ominous that Roberts would throw Boasberg under the bus and hand Trump this big win when his administration has conducted this case in EXTREME bad faith from the start. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
