Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Here’s your chance to do something. Click here and send the link to all your friends, and urge them to come out too.

WATCH: Again @ltgovmcnally & Speaker @CSexton25 kept us out of their pressers, while the TN Capitol Hill Press corps says nothing. (+ votes against us) Help us ask TV folks to stream it or post the entire thing, which they’ve stopped doing. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGoAUQ-...

Trump is Putin’s bitch. Always has been. Always will be. Be ashamed, America.

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

Breaking (ABC News): Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is considering firing or removing generals and senior officers as early as this week, according to multiple U.S. and congressional officials.

Hours after Lavrov's lie, Russia attacked energy infrastructure in Odesa. About 160,000 people in the city are without electricity and heating. The temperatures are below zero Celsius in Ukraine this week. Hospital and daycares were also damaged. True face of Russia.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

French President Emmanuel Macron has invited European leaders to an emergency summit in Paris on Monday. The meeting aims to address challenges arising from recent discussions between Trump and Putin, and reflects the need for Europe to respond collectively to these developments. 

This is fascism.

#AusterityProject

Zelensky received a standing ovation as he began speaking in Munich. “The time has come—European armed forces must be created.” A stark contrast to yesterday’s lecture on democracy.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Thank you @jimacosta.bsky.social for refusing to comply in advance and standing up for democracy and freedom of the press! THIS is what EVERY journalist, news anchor and political analyst should be doing! Don't give in to the fear. Don't give in to the lies.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

AOC 🔥🔥🔥

📌"1935 Germany can also be terrifyingly instructive ... The accumulation of unchecked power can happen insanely fast. Hitler himself was actually surprised how little pushback he got on the way to complete power." 📌"Now 90 years later, all the dogs are once again lying down, and hell is here ..." 🧵

They shut down their own app for a day, then turned it back on thanking Trump. What an obvious scam this was. Disgusting on the part of the Tik Tok owners, Trump, and all his sycophants who reversed their positions on it one second after he did for no reason other than he did.

An American city is on fire and the world’s richest man has done nothing but lie and make it worse. Thank you to the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to save this country and fuck that spoiled rotten limp dick South African and any of the tough guys who live to kiss his ass.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Hundreds of Mexican firefighters have arrived in Southern California to help combat the wildfires. Thank you, Mexico🇺🇸🇲🇽
