Just FYI, a federal judge ruled that Trump has to resume USAID payments to contractors who have already completed their work by... today. So when he doesn't, he's in violation of a court order.

Democrats even thinking about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

We didn't have to live like this. We didn't have to become the joke of the world. We didn't have to throw trans lives under the bus. We didn't have to destroy our own federal government for the whims of the technocrats. Fuck everyone who voted for this monster. You deserve no forgiveness or peace

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

Allowing the administration to define broad swaths of history, programming and civil rights compliance as “DEI” and then regurgitating that language instead of clearly articulating what specifically is being targeted is spreading disinformation and propaganda.

Not to overinterpret a fake Napoleon quote but this is notably not a logic limited by Trump to himself. It's basically a permission structure for violating the law if you do so in Trump's defense and is the logic they apply to J6 or other favored vigilantes

This Gulf of America bullshit is just a test case for some truly Orwellian 2+2=5. "What can we just claim to be true and thus make everyone repeat it as true?" I know it's not something new from MAGA but it's the most obvious, most grand-sweep, boldest version thus far.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.
