Please tell me that Hakeem Jeffries is not actually on a book tour right now.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

He nails it.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Todays hero

It’s a cult.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Trump benefits from the bully pulpit of the presidency, a legislative branch that has contracted out all of its autonomy, and Elon’s unlimited funding—but if he loses popular support, none of those things will matter. And we’re already seeing the tide turn. McCormick’s district (below) is R+22.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

And you know who you have to blame for this, Nikki?

Americans have coveted Canada for a long time. Benedict Arnold tried to seize Québec in the 4th major battle of the Revolutionary War. It was a long walk home for him. With fewer friends. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

People are waking up to just how bad things are with co-presidents Trump & Musk and Republicans running Congress. We don’t have to wait for midterms—we can win special elections now. We’ve been here before and won. @repjasmine.bsky.social lays out the path 🔥

With all the talk of “constitutional crisis”focused on separation of powers,there’s been too little focus on Trump’s dedication to dismantling what historian Eric Foner calls “the most impt addition to the Constitution since the Bill of Rights.” The 14th Amendment. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

It’s past time for Americans to understand the significance of the 14th Amendment and Trump’s role in the century long effort to dismantle it.

Please share this. We need someone on this constitutional convention issue. Is there a group out there? @sifill.bsky.social - how could we get the Dred Scott decision off the books? #dredscott #scotus Please share far and wide.

Y’all: please share and reach out to uour reps this woman could DIE @markwarner.bsky.social @timkaine7.bsky.social @timkaine01.bsky.social @markwarner.bsky.social - I will be extremely disappointed to see you at the State of the Union or voting to raise on the debt ceiling without concessions.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

This raises a potential conflict of interest, as Musk's company was under investigation by USAID shortly before he began calling for the shutdown.

This is the way.

This is demented.

Ooooh well played.

May we all have this type of courage.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Sleepy Joe strikes again.

“Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.” Darren Beattie —> how’s that working out for ya?

Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing? The memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was because he was carrying out the president’s agenda. It was “you’re working for me, so we’re letting you go.” It was an explicitly corrupt bargain

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

I need someone to answer this damn question!

Where is Merrick Garland’s apology to these people. I blame him most of all.

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.
