Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

SCHIFF: Did you suggest telling the courts 'fuck you' in any manner? BOVE: I don't recall SCHIFF: You just don't remember that

"Rewarding Emil Bove with a judgeship would be an affront to the rule of law," writes former U.S. attorney Harry Litman.

In the time you spend watching this video, Jeff Bezos will earn more than what the majority of full-time American workers earn in a year. Say it with me: Tax the rich.

I wonder if Mitch McConnell assumed Americans who lost their healthcare would "get over it" because they will be dead.

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Watching Truth Social posts by Trump every hour, each more insane & unhinged than the previous one as he circles the drain of a malignant narcissist’s descent into dementia, makes it that much more ridiculous that media just spent a month on Biden while pretending Trump is sane.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Okay, well if you can sue judges, who wants to file a lawsuit against Aileen Cannon with me?

This is why we learn the rules…

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

RFK Jr. fired all of the experts at CDC's vaccine advisory committee. He installed 8 unvetted people, including anti-vaxxers who should have ZERO role in deciding which vaccines insurance should cover. The committee's next meeting must be postponed.

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

Hateful sycophants like Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem behave like they will never be held accountable. I live for the day when they will be held accountable.

Hey @orcassinkingyachts.bsky.social you might appreciate this quilt 🖤🤍 (pattern by GettingJazzyWithIt on Etsy)

NEW: Emil Bove does not deny telling DoJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. Thank you for your line of questioning, @schiff.senate.gov

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

A reminder that the Washington Post endorsed confirming Pam Bondi. Support pro-democracy independent media.

👇🏽🎯 “Class warfare” has been happening for decades — on one direction. the difference is now the other side is actually joining the fight, and they can’t handle it.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

The Chump Deportation Exploitation is coming to a Neighborhood near you......

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

RFK JR: We have not cut any clinical trials on Alzheimer's BARRAGAN: There was 35 and you guys have already cut 13 of them because of the funding. This was congressionally approved dollars on a bipartisan basis.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

Yes, I flipped off a bigot harassing toddlers at a drag queen story hour. No, I won't apologize for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXd7...

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them theonion.com/democra...

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

A state-sanctioned neo-nazi gang. That’s what ICE is.

I don’t believe a single goddamn thing coming out of this administration. This is absolute gaslighting madness. It’s as if we’re watching toddlers run through the White House screaming and smearing Gogurt into the carpet and the entire world has to pretend it’s the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

A federal judge ruled that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia should be released while awaiting trial. 100% agree.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

Touché.
