Bove’s confirmation hearing for the 3rd Circuit is on Wednesday. His own former DOJ colleagues say they don’t trust him to be impartial. Watch the video & insist that your senators do too before they vote.

Robert Reich tells the Dems what's up and what needs to happen in clear, straight language. You must read this and then tell our Reps to DO IT

Contributor: Why I'm going to a 'No Kings' rally against Trump, and you should too - Los Angeles Times

It's time to take back our country from authoritarianism and corruption. On June 14, we're coming together to say No Kings in America. Let's GO! This is OUR country.

June 14 we have a simple message: No thrones. No crowns. No kings. social.demcast.com/s/On3ijw3L

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!😊💙

The #MAGAMurderBudget is going to kill people.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

This is amazing! It has world wide effects.

Dems need to start explicitly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly promising oversight, investigations, subpoenas, hearings, prosecutations, & jail time for those ransacking our country. I want specifics, timelines, inevitability. The new Dem House will get sworn in on 1/3/27. What happens on 1/4/27?

Ernst is up for reelection next year. Campagin slogan: "Well we all are going to die. Vote Ernst."

America is supposed to be the land of the free. So why are extremist pundits and politicians leading attacks on the rights of vulnerable people who just want to be themselves? Fear mongering is about power, not people. Spread facts, not fear! #TruthBrigade

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill have taken social Darwinism to a new level of absurdity. The America they seek is the one we last had in the Gilded Age of the late 19th century. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-reemergence-of-social-darwinism

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Video is an excellent summary Please watch and call your reps No matter what state you live in, please touch base with your senator Thanks! 🙏🏻

This corn fed & bred young Kansan, this 26 year old beekeeper with a degree in Environmental Science & 2 Master's degrees who focused her studies on international sustainable development was gunned down in a brutal hate crime. A HATE CRIME! SPEAK OUT! Are you brave enough to condemn murder?

Our justice system is built to protect everyone equally. Who is benefiting from proposed new laws that deport people, no violent history or criminal record? Can’t be about justice or safety. It’s about gaining power with propaganda. Our leaders must defend us, not just chase headlines. #TruthBrigade

Casar: What we discovered last night, which is really breaking news, is that they’re not just robbing Medicaid—it turns out they’re also planning to rob Medicare of nearly half a billion dollars if they pass this bill.

Of course, @governorwalz.mn.gov nails it again with this gem! We miss you, coach!

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

Laws should solve real problems—like better healthcare, financial protection. Why do so many lawmakers push laws based on disproven conspiracy theories? Maybe they get headlines? Let’s keep asking: Who benefits, & who’s left out when outrageous laws are proposed? Demand better! #TruthBrigade

We don’t want our taxes funding the defense of Executive Orders built on lies. Nearly 200 lawsuits have challenged these dubious White House directives. Democracy depends on respecting the law, not using the courts as a stage for disinformation. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/rTruIFww

Trump’s EPA is planning to roll back rules that limit the amount of “forever chemicals” allowed in drinking water. This comes after chemical companies donated generously to his inauguration fund. See how this works?

BREAKING: The GOP-led House Budget Committee just voted to reject Trump's big budget bill — an embarrassing setback for Republicans. Five conservative hardliners joined all Democrats in voting against the bill.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

We want our tax money spent on programs that make all our lives better. So why is the White House claiming that a tax plan–that gives massive sums to the top 1% and adds to the deficit–is a good use of our money? We’re worth more than that! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/h2Xj0MGI

Drowning in a sea of digital noise? Wonder why? Our attention is hacked by Big Tech and exploited by the White House. Profit drives stunts that cost us our mental health…and our democracy. We have power. Let’s uplift truth, not feed the outrage. #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/6por4mfN

Drowning in a sea of digital noise? Wonder why? It’s no accident. Our attention is hacked by Big Tech and exploited by the White House. Profit drives stunts that cost us our mental health…and our democracy. We DO have power to change this! Let’s uplift truth, not feed the outrage. #TruthBrigade

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Fantastic resource on countering disinformation here.
