If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

After ICE agents raid the wrong Oklahoma location (the immigrants they were looking had already moved), they still force minor girls outside in their underwear, raid the home, and take the family’s money and electronics. kfor.com/news/local/w...

I want Bob Dylan to write a bunch of protest songs for Timothée Chalamet to record. Yes we knooooow Bob, they weren’t “protest songs” - so how about some poetry for modern times? (That Timothée Chalamet happens to interpret as song?) There’s power in protest. There’s also power in music.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Imo we don’t talk about John Adams enough—his integrity, intelligence, humility, impact and vision for this country. But also, Abigail Adams would’ve been one hell of a President if she had such a right.“Remember the ladies” she advised, to no avail. She was also a staunch abolitionist.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Disgusting, horrifying, shameful. There were no other tactics for those police to deploy besides shooting a minor WITH CEREBRAL PALSY checks notes NINE TIMES?!?! If police aren’t trained in mental health, they shouldn’t be the ones showing up to these calls. They’ll bring a firing squad.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants. History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well. 🧵

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Michelle Wolf captured this capitulation 6 years ago at the WHCD: "He couldn't sell steaks or vodka or water or college or ties or Eric. But he has helped you. He's helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster, and now you're profiting off of him."

Thinking of all those suffering in LA, sorry seems like an empty word but watching recent events unfold renders one speechless. To friends and colleagues, to the first responders & community organizers, to those in uncertainty. Keep sharing links and we'll keep donating & supporting however we can.
