Our Secretary of Defense almost certainly has more threatening/extremist tattoos and has more credibly been accused of sexual assault than almost all of the people being sent to El Salvador. No exaggeration.

Are you subscribed to Democracy Docket? Here, they explain that the court has the power to appoint someone to execute civil contempt if the Marshall’s are ordered by Bondi to ignore them. 👀

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"

Exactly as we all said he would. There’s no surprise here. It’s all true what Lawrence and Ruth are saying, but this is all anticipated. We’re headed towards a very dramatic and confrontational color revolution in this country, unless the courts stop him dead in his tracks..

Okay so, is Schumer voting for the CR because shutting down the government is worse? If so, why? And does the DNC support it? If not, why not? The problem with all this is that WE DO NOT KNOW.

Every Democrat I know wants a forceful response. I’m not sure who my representatives are talking to. We are in a fascist moment. Act like it! Vote NO!!!

@schumer.senate.gov You MUST vote NO! NO on cloture AND NO on the CR. We’ve had enough. Listen to the people - enough! If you can’t be brave, step aside. The government is as good as shut down already - do NOT give them an inch.

On her first trip to the polls, Yonge didn’t bring proof of her U.S. citizenship, a requirement under New Hampshire’s new voter ID law. She drove home to grab her birth certificate, and tried to vote a 2nd time. But there was another problem. “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.

Musk is spending millions to install a MAGA justice in WI. But there’s something you can do: Donate to Wisconsin Dems. @davidlitt.bsky.social highlights the stakes & how YOU can help. Let’s make Musk regret his [hopefully short] political career.

They’re just such dishonest people. They’ve learned from Trump how to lie and never look back. They deserve to lose.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t. If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

Today's newsletter by @hcrichardson.bsky.social quotes @piperformissouri.bsky.social and underlines the fact that this administration is, in effect, selling out the US to the highest bidder. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Kudos to the school administrator who wrote this letter for making it clear to families what happened and who they should blame. This is the way to build a coalition--with a shared adversary and a reason to fight.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
