Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

“‘The man who has sworn to faithfully execute the laws and the Constitution of the United States has declared war on both, and declared war on everybody who is standing up for the laws and the Constitution of the United States,’ Conway said. ‘That’s what's going on here.’”

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Trump is dismantling democracy right in front of us. He operates on the principle that people will think that if he does it openly and in public, there can't be anything wrong with it. Do not be deceived.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

Donald Trump lied to Americans on the campaign trail. He said a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for a recession. Instead, the opposite was true. We’re now barreling toward a recession with no end in sight.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

“In October of 2024, just before the election, … NPR …they looked it up and they said, ‘… over 100 times, [Trump] has threatened to prosecute his enemies.’ This is Donald Trump. We are at stage four megalomania. He is just doing what he has always told us he wants to do.”

Maddow: I enjoy Bluesky very much. I do not enjoy any other social media platforms at this point at all, but Bluesky is different and I don't have any connection to them at all other than the fact that I'm a happy user there

Out of all the bullies and monsters in the administration, Marco Rubio seems like the purest specimen of how Nazism happened—not a sincere bigot or ideologue, just an empty shell who has literally no limits on what he will agree to do or pretend to believe, embracing brutality to fill his weakness

She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Why was this a story when it was Joe Biden, but isn't when it's Donald Trump? The media continues to fail this country.
