"Rewarding Emil Bove with a judgeship would be an affront to the rule of law," writes former U.S. attorney Harry Litman.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access. Why is this even a debate? www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-year...

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

If they ever scan my phone at the airport for anti-trump posts their heads are gonna fucking explode.

Losing his sh*t It’s Tuesday. There are 497 days until the midterm elections. Orange SCOTUS endorses slavery and human-trafficking, chickencrap Cassidy has some concerns and a Trumpian tantrum.

Andrew Cuomo gave a concession speech thanking his supporters, particularly non-judgmental women with firm breasts.

The President took the United States to war with Iran without the authorization of Congress.   He claims the military operations were a success but is now refusing to brief the Congress or explain his actions in a timely manner.   Why is there a delay?

Three years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Republicans are using Trump's Tax Scam as an excuse to restrict abortion access even further.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

Sums it up pretty well.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

for those of you who weren’t in New York it’s really hard to understate just how awful Cuomo’s campaign was. He didn’t go to candidate forums. He was nowhere to be seen in the city. He said he had no regrets and refused to apologize for his countless scandals. He had it coming. Good riddance bozo

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, Chile, recently released its first images of the cosmos/deep space. Vera Rubin (1928-2016) was a pioneering US astronomer whose work provided convincing evidence for the existence of unseen "dark" matter in the Universe #WomensArt

Everyone needs to start reporting ICE agents are Iranian sleeper cells.

i think cuomo did well considering he couldn’t campaign while the sun was up

Let's fight back. Tell your story and show that America is still the Home of the Brave.

I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

NEWS: Stephen Miller owns a six-figure stock in Palantir, a company profiting off deportations, per @POGOwatchdog report migrantinsider.com/p/stephen-mi...

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Trump lashed out at media “scum” who revealed his strikes against Iran were likely far less effective than he claims. “CNN is scum, MSDNC is scum, the New York Times is scum. They’re bad people, they’re sick,” Trump raged Wednesday at a press conference in the Netherlands during the NATO summit.

Kill the brutal bill. Before it kills us.

NEW: FBI Abandons Stephen Miller’s Migrant Round-Up in Humiliating Blow Federal investigators are being pulled off migrant duty to ensure that potential Iranian terror threats are spotted and thwarted.

What I love is either the intelligence community or Pentagon leaked the report. They must be mad as hell over a lying president that uses them as props

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Never been more certain that if Murkowski, Ernst, Collins, or Tillis (the last 3 up in 2026) vote for this cruel, unpopular bill they won't be reelected

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Municipal voters back a young upstart instead of the former state elected from a political dynasty who was backed by all the money and all the big endorsements? who could imagine such a thing now just make your city elections nonpartisan & you'll have met our standard perfectly

There’s an active investigation into the access DOGE officials gained to federal IT systems. Fortunately, detailed documentation was kept by many along the way. More DOGE “resignations” are expected.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2
