The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

During yesterday's Senate hearing, Kristi Noem struggled to define habeas corpus…or cite which article of the Constitution the clause is in. @normeisen.bsky.social and @asharangappa.bsky.social discuss the executive misnomer.

But the Big Guy…

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

Mark Warner: "That cabinet meeting earlier this week where everyone went around and basically paid kudos to the great leader -- it was something that frankly I would've expected out of North Korea, not out of a cabinet meeting in America."

Some expected. Some surprises. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

He was arrested for praying. Actually I think he was arrested because he shamed all those so-called Christians in the GOP.

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

Sad

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Zoe is my new teacher hero!🤣

Bondi grotesquely claims that Abrego Garcia's wife and child are better off with him gone

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

I SECOND THAT 👋

Karoline Leavitt hates when asked about gender affirming surgeries. DO NOT RETWEET THIS, The @PressSec is very sensitive about it.

No lies detected from Congressman Dan Goldman 👇 #ResistTrump

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

The government is slashing public health jobs, gutting vaccine programs, and fueling a measles comeback. This is not reform—it’s sabotage. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

Welcome !

The good old days…

At least 5 of 12 regional Head Start offices have been closed as part of HHS layoffs—leaving families and providers in limbo. A lifeline for low-income kids is being quietly dismantled. Read on to see what’s happening and why it matters. #ProtectOurKids #HandsOff 🧵

Four American soldiers are dead, the economy is crashing and that motherfucker is GOLFING.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

WATCH. WATCH. WATCH. WATCH. WATCH. WATCH. WATCH. WATCH. NOW He’s going until he can no longer. ✨🤩✨ Someone had to say THIS NOT NORMAL. “It is time for good trouble. Necessary trouble.” www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Good work.. let’s continue 2 pressure Target, Walmart, Starbucks..the broader reason must be Stockholders over stockholders and higher wages !!! @angryvoter.bsky.social @opus24.bsky.social @imcivicaction.bsky.social @sassydenise.bsky.social @ethicaloperator.bsky.social @saving-democracy.bsky.social

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

🚨BREAKING: @katieporteroc.bsky.social is running for governor! The whiteboard is BACK. No more BULLSH!T from corporate lobbyists, billionaires, TRUMP, or “play-nice” politicians. CA may be one of the last bastions for democracy in America. We need Katie calling the shots. #bluecrew #fbr #demcast
