If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

This is what “I really don’t like either candidate” looks like.

If this ain't a goddamn perfect eulogy, I don't know what is.

Again.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free.   - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks.   - All workers get pensions.

Yep

Part of why elections in the US are so secure is because they’re run by 10,000 local jurisdictions like mine. Trying to rig an election is like trying to rob every bank in America at the same time To rig American elections, you need to federalize them. The President’s new EO is doing just that.

Ossoff: This is what happens when you have Fox News personalities cosplaying as government officials.

An older Iowan tells Sen. Grassley she used to look up to him, but his support of the Trump administration has changed that.

Sanders: We are not a poor country! There is no excuse on God’s earth for people to have to choose between food and the medicine they need to stay alive.

The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

The 2 planes Judge Boasberg ordered back, plus a third plane that took off AFTER Boasberg’s order, never returned to the U.S. in apparent defiance of the court order.

Resign

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

I mean, are we supposed to believe that 10 Senators & 1 House rep (10 of whom are white) knew better than ALLLLLLL the other Democratic members of Congress?? Members whose lived experience give them the most credibility on this vote?? I don’t think so.

I have fucking had it & I hope you all have too. I don’t care what any of these individuals in our party do in the coming days to try to make it seem like they did not do what they did today. They showed their fucking cards & that’s it, we don’t have short-term memories and are not idiots like MAGA

So ashamed of my senators - @shaheen.senate.gov and @hassan.senate.gov … I had little faith that you would stand up to Musk and Trump, but I called and messaged daily anyway, begging you not to cede what little power we have. I will never forget this.

Nancy Pelosi urges Democratic senators to go against Schumer and vote NO on the Continuing Resolution.

Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally. “Yeah, I don’t get cute with this shit.”

Have you ever heard the line you go out fighting not you go out hiding? Well fucking done @ossoff.bsky.social

That is correct.

Senate Democrats: time for a new leader. No later than fucking tomorrow. I don’t care how many headlines there are that say Democrats are in disarray. Get it done.

@schumer.senate.gov - they won the House, Senate, & White House-they own this. Dems putting bandaids on Republican destruction only gives them more power & continues to give them cover. Be a leader and stand up to these (in your words) bastards! Vote NO on cloture! JFC - why won’t you fight for us?!

The people were ALWAYS going to have to lead the way. The movement is not the party. The PEOPLE are the movement. Is anyone really surprised? The answer is in organizing. Not in hoping that feckless politicians will grow backbones.

ENOUGH OF THE GAMES

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Please @hassan.senate.gov and @shaheen.senate.gov - STAND STRONG! Do not try to trick your voters by going along with @schumer.senate.gov’s amendment vote trick to make it look like the dems are filibustering when they’re not. We are watching. NO to cloture; NO to GOP spending bill!

This is a false choice that is wrong. If the GOP majority needs bipartisanship to keep the government open, they should negotiate a bipartisan bill, not this garbage that gives Elon Musk total control over government spending. House Dems remain ready to pass a clean CR.

here's the incredible interview that @chrislhayes.bsky.social did tonight with the woman who was just fired as the pardon attorney at DOJ, liz oyer. really, really, really worth watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnqv...

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This is it, right here. 🔥 “I’m always curious what exactly conservatives mean when they say they love America because you hate most of the people who live here.”

Out of all insults thrown at JD Vance who came to Vermont for weekend of skiing, the "VANCE SKIS IN JEANS" is the most brutal.
