My grandmother was born in 1900. Women were not allowed to vote until 1920. Women could not buy a home or get a credit card, unless a man cosigned for her, until 1974. We’re not going back!

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

Yes

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

He nails it.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Murphy: "Hegseth got the job because he's the weekend news anchor on Fox, and Trump watches a lot of Fox and so he decided to make that guy the head of the DOD and our chief negotiator in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth is screwing it up badly, but of course he is ... all he knows how to do is read the news"

-The Question: How the hell did we get here? -The Answer: Citizens United.

In a 4-3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed a right-wing legal challenge that sought to limit the authority of municipalities to designate early absentee voting locations and prevent future use of a mobile voting van deployed by the city of Racine during the 2022 election cycle.

NEW: A blockbuster ruling in Wisconsin hands vote suppressors a big loss. A victory for voting rights! Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXur...

He’s golfing right now. Check back next week.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"... 'And, I still support you…' is where my empathy (and reading) stopped. Sorry. The GOP preached “personal responsibility” for decades. Time to “man up,” as they said. Elections have what? Oh ya, “consequences.” Time to experience the fullness of poor electoral decision-making." - Matthew Nelson

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

As always @kylec.bsky.social doesn’t miss.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Here is the oath all executive branch employees take. It is to support and defend the Constitution, not to “implement the president’s agenda.” If the two purposes diverge, the Constitution prevails.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

Zelenskyy: "I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine. Never."

BREAKING: White House confirms it has lost at least 12 cases, at least temporarily, since becoming president. Acting illegally and losing cases is a hallmark of Trump.

Eagles star Saquon Barkley shows support for Taylor Swift in his latest interview: “I remember that they showed her on the Jumbotron and she got booed. I don't get why she was getting hate there, she is there supporting her significant other and made the game bigger.”

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell goes off on Republicans in the House: "I hear you in our private conversations when you agree that Trump is a child...but you shrink in this room...and he's laughing at you." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

No words. But, I’m not surprised. I am a military veteran. I’m a former congressman. I cannot in good conscience follow or support this administration. Anyone voting for her is complicit in the downfall of this country. Tulsi Gabbard is an abomination. apple.news/A01S4jqQSSK-...

Protect this law at all costs ! www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.

It's day 22 and he still doesn't have a plan to lower your prices.

Garcia: "I find it ironic that our chairman, Rep. Greene, is in charge of running this committee. In the last Congress, Chairwoman Greene literally showed a dick pic in our Oversight hearing, so I thought I'd bring one as well. This, of course, is President Elon Musk ... "

I'll go anywhere on behalf of a good cause - and that means engaging people across all the different platforms. Good to be connected here, @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com.

I promise you. PROMISE YOU, that in four years nobody among us will ever admit to supporting Trump in mixed company. “Big Balls” good Lord America

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Yes! This!! 👇👇

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

Are we just going to pretend Trumps face is normal? Are we REALLY going to pretend this dude is “manly.” Makeup is so tough bro

Hey, where the fuck is that person who keeps showing up every four years, peels away a bunch of critical votes, and then disappears for another four years? How do people keep falling for that shit?

They fall for it every single time. 🤦‍♀️
