Sanders: We look to these law firms who have hundreds of well-paid lawyers to defend the constitution, to defend the rule of law. They were more interested in getting millions of dollars from their lobbying.. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Susman Godfrey, Chris Krebs, Miles Taylor, the president is openly targeting his political enemies with what his party once projected and called ‘lawfare’. It’s openly authoritarian. And we can’t say we weren’t warned. This is what fascism looks like.

The House made it so privileged resolutions to cancel the February tariffs were no longer privileged, but they didn't do it for all national emergencies used to impose tariffs. So House Dems could introduce this one and expect a vote in 18 days (for now).

Trump wants to go back to the golden age of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory is a more accurate characaterization - again based on his own repeated statements - than whatever wishcasting others are doing.

Rural Missourians standing up today to protest the cuts to our social services and the cuts to the USDA, DOE and all the other terrible cuts that hurt rural communities. We are protesting in Mountain Grove Missouri. Rains and floods didn't stop us!

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Oh my God... it was all ChatGPT. They didn't even care enough about the American economy to do any of the work themselves. It almost feels... impeachable? How could sloppily using AI to create domestic policy, then hiding it, be consistent with the Oath of Office?

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

The two most powerful Republican politicians in America - the president and co-president of the United States - are publicly praising and defending and excusing the crimes of a far-right foreign politician who leads a party founded by a Holocaust-denying neo-Nazi. We are in a very, very dark place.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing. Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...
