While some Rs in safely gerrymandered districts will try to blow past this, it's no doubt having a profound impact on Rs in more competitive districts cause they are hearing this too. Lawler. Bacon. Valadao. Ciscomani among others Hopefully it stiffens the spines of Dems too

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This week two GREAT examples of Democrats punching Trump in the face: 1. Ill Gov Pritzker to Trump: “We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one” 2. NY Gov Hochul: "New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We sure as hell are not going to start now."

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

The accelerationist belief that if things get bad enough, then things will start to get better is quite something to see in the wild. It’s wrong though. Historically, misery creates more misery and is visited on the most marginalized in ever intensifying cycles of horror.

Agree with @repjasmine.bsky.social. We need a daily briefing akin to what former NY Gov Cuomo did during the pandemic. We need it from this next generation of leaders like Crockett, and @aoc.bsky.social. We can't cede the territory or information ecosystem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezkt...

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?
