Again: it is supposed to be commonly accepted non partisan morality that “id rather let a hundred guilty men go free than imprison one who was innocent” but this administration and its party are gleefully inverting that premise and then some

Love this!

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Not unexpected but still very, very bad.

Look around. This is what happens when Republicans are given power. Remember.

Sigh…alright let’s do this.

The only way to deal with bullies is to punch them in the nose. Capitulating never ends well, and only leads to more grievous bullying.

Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid and SNAP programs in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Unfortunately for the GOP, another congressional recess starts in two days. Our goal is to organize hundreds of rallies to keep turning up the heat on Republicans. Join us: indivisible.org/muskorus

For months, the legacy media insisted Democrats were dispirited and disengaged. The recent nationwide protests revealed the truth — Democrats are angry, motivated and ready to act. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

This is good news.

If "the finest police work" you've ever seen is figuring out who vandalized some Incel Caminos at a dealership, I'd be happy to recommend literally any episode of Law & Order.

Freedom of speech is when the government arrests people for protesting the President's car company.

Mafia Nation.

Ladies and Gentlemen: you are about to enter another dimension of cruelty. From the regime that once separated babies from their families, some never to be returned, I now give you "permanent incarceration." A life sentence, if you will, but with no trial, no jury. Next stop, the Trumpian Zone.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

It’s a good gig.

It was my deep honor to file an amicus brief on behalf of 61 media organizations and press freedom advocates in the Perkins Coie litigation, arguing that President Trump's threats to lawyers will chill the press and harm the public. theintercept.com/2025/04/09/t...

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Jesus.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

There’s a world in which these people face consequences but I don’t think we’re in it.

I'm going to start saying "art of the deal" every time I do something really stupid and then start backtracking
