The news is exhausting and today I have had it. The Trump administration wants us to believe it’s perfectly fine to ask if the 14th amendment to THE CONSTITUTION is in fact CONSTITUTIONAL. That’s crazy.

Last night, @symonedsanders.bsky.social was ready to shatter that table discussing the 14th amendment—this is the energy we need from the press going into the next SCOTUS term

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Gift link to a chilling report from Haaretz that everyone should read. Even if only a fraction of this (and some of the paper’s previous detailed reporting on possible war crimes) is true, we should all be deeply saddened and sickened, as I am right now. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

“Israeli officers and soldiers said that they were ordered to deliberately fire at unarmed civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in an investigation published by the Israeli newspaper 𝘏𝘢𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘻 on Friday; the military prosecution has called for a review into possible war crimes.”

Supreme Court is making it easier for Trump to declare himself King and Daddy. Y'all aren't paying attention. Dems should be united on reforming and expanding the Court. It's time.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

As a Jewish American, I want to make clear that I am disgusted by the Islamophobic attacks and false accusations of antisemitism against Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of New York.

The Republican Party is the verminous, bigoted party of ignorance and anti-Americanism, striving to turn this into a totalitarian blood-and-soil shithole.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

If even a fraction of what this letter says is true, Emil Bove should be prosecuted for criminal contempt and disbarred. In no way should he be confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

A reminder that the Washington Post endorsed confirming Pam Bondi. Support pro-democracy independent media.

Democrats, learn from Zohran and AOC on how to win over the masses. Look at the messaging. Look at the issues. Look at how they communicate.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

The Supreme Court decided to let Trump violate an international human rights treaty and send immigrants to places where they are likely to be tortured. If this seems good to you, you are one of the bad guys. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

I know at this point it's basically shouting into the wind, but please go out to vote in the NYC mayoral primary, and please don't rank Cuomo. I know that most people will, because this city is incapable of chewing with its mouths closed. But, like, FUCKING TRY TO NOT BE STUPID.

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex. I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

The Senate must reject Emil Bove's nomination to the federal bench. His reprehensible conduct at the Justice Department disqualifies him from a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.
