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.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons: 1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply) 2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

While it's true that Democrats in Congress -- and especially the House -- have relatively little power right now, what they can do is use their local offices to find people suffering from Trump's policies, like this caller, and lift up their voices and tell their stories

Well done Maine Governor Janet Mills, slapping Trump down with “See you in court!” This is how you do it, stand up to the bully. Trump threatens all her state’s federal funding if she doesn’t comply with his EO on trans people playing sports. He ends with personal insults. Of course.

BREAKING: Another win for the lawyers protecting birthright citizenship. A 9th Cir. panel -- the first circuit to weigh-in in these cases -- denies the Trump admin's emergency request to let the EO rescinding birthright citizenship go into effect, saying the admin is unlikely to win on the merits🧵

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

Disgusting toxic trash. Trump is a real tough guy, banging out Truth Social posts from his golf cart at a guy who has fought off a murderous drug-addled barbarian horde for 3 years defending his people from Russian rapists and child kidnappers.

Imagine after 9/11, the UK’s first call was to Bin Laden saying “both sides must compromise”. Imagine in 1941, FDR called Churchill & said US support is conditional on taking 50% of UK’s coal, steel & agriculture industries. Trump is a historic disgrace.

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.
