A lot to be said about this opinion from the 4th circuit, but maybe most importantly, it’s written in plain language. It’s only 7 pages, I’d encourage people to read it in it’s entirety www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/u...

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

@tomandlorenzo.bsky.social are you on holiday? looking for the latest tlo pcof pod for seemingly days! Hope you are and the cats are doing well.

I really wish people would be more careful about posting protest pics on social media. Think about how chaotic 1/6 was and how many people they were able to identify and find in that mess - and those were more or less ethical actors doing the searching

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

Mark Warner calls for Tulsi Gabbard and Trump’s national security team to be fired. Do you agree that is justified here?

I’m tellin ya. It’s AOC. 34,000 people today in Denver.

📌AOC has more power than anybody in the Democratic Party right now because she’s an old-school Democrat. That’s called irony.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6!!!

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

It is amazing how fucking awful @schumer.senate.gov is at his job.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, we, the American people, demand you stand with Senate Dems voting NO on the CR & Cloture. NO blank checks for Trump & Musk. NO gutting funds that help families eat while billionaires cheat the system. Stand up for us! Hold the damn line!

This is unprecedented. NFL free agency being announced on BlueSky because X is crashing like Elon's rockets.

Welcome to Bluesky for all those frustrated by the outages at X!

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

I so appreciate @maxinefororegon.bsky.social with @maddow.msnbc.com talking about how the big town hall in her district moved her and convinced her to take stronger action in DC, walking out of the speech last night. Show up! Your reps are listening.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Well... the State of the DisUnion will begin, shortly. I'm gonna be in attendance 😳😏. DO NOT WATCH!

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

@lujan.senate.gov Start protesting the lies being spewn by Trump. Support your colleague and be escorted out.

Put your Joint Address questions here and I’ll see if I can answer some as I go ⬇️

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

I'm looking forward to catching up LIVE with Stephen Colbert tonight. Feels like there will be plenty to discuss! Tune in to the Late Show at 11:35 pm ET.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

Marco Rubio just sat there like a useless sack of shit. What a global embarrassment.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

There were certainly signs

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist. He is an amazing man. We can all learn from him.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

We are shutting down our online store at midnight Eastern in solidarity with the 2/28 Economic Blackout. We’ll be back on 3/1. Also, sorry about the long shipping timeframes and the lack of shirts—we’re working hard to catch up! We use small U.S. suppliers for our products.
