Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

“The protesters are being paid” A: No, obviously. B: Conservative voters in Wisconsin were being paid with the chance for a million dollars and then STILL lost. By a lot. What’s your excuse?

This admin is turning on the firehose hoping you’ll burn out and give up. But you don’t have to do it all. Do one thing, take one step each day. Put your phone down. Take a walk. Find the thing that moves you and focus. If we all find our one thing, we’ll build something better—together.

Do we want Donald Trump wrecking our country? asks Bob Reiter, President @chicagolabor.bsky.social NO!!! After land acknowledgement, Bob details how con man Trump & billionaire Musk are attacking working families & unions while dismantling our government. But we're going to FIGHT BACK. #HandsOff

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
