What a different world we could have.

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

It’s time to ban stock trading by members of Congress. Full stop.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

I am not often quoted in @nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.

In Minnesota, we’re not walking away from the commitments we’ve made to our schools, to our health care, to flighting climate change, to public safety, to feeding our kids, and to taking care of seniors.

People tend to dismiss VP Pence’s actions on J6: he was just doing his job, why should he get any credit for simply sticking to the letter of the law? But if it was so easy to do, why was he one of the very few in his party to do it? apnews.com/article/penc...

No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.

Can someone explain to me the difference between crypto & counterfeiting? Both use a worthless token in exchange for currency or goods & services. 🤷🏻

Two Democratic senators said former national security adviser Mike Waltz should expect a "brutal" confirmation hearing for United Nations ambassador and predicted harsh questioning from lawmakers after using Signal to discuss highly sensitive details of a planned U.S. military strike in March.

ABC political reporter Isobel Roe showing just how much the journalist class have no idea about tight household budgets by saying “ tax cuts will ONLY be about $10 a day” - $10 a day means being able to add extra veggies/fruit to a meal for one #auspol #ABCnews

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

In retrospect it was a mistake to have a political system where the president can't unilaterally do anything good but can unilaterally do massive damage. That's our bad

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Extremely well deserved; their reporting was essential and remains so - especially as states moved to restrict their own study of & reporting on deaths of pregnant women in states with abortion restrictions.

“They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.”

Spoiler alert: he blinked (again).

Pass it on…

Louder for the voters in the back!

Donald Trump and MAGA Health Secretary RFK Jr. get nightmare news as a super-coalition of Attorneys General from 19 states and D.C. band together to sue the administration over its "unconstitutional dismantling" of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Rand Paul (R-KY) going off on his own party.

The past two years under the Biden Administration, homelessness rose by record levels as people struggled to afford housing. Now, the Trump Administration wants to make it even harder on people. Absolutely appalling.

34 time convicted felon of a President throwing a 92 million dollar vanity parade the same moment he and the GOP tell us all we need to sacrifice and suffer.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Exciting news! We were just named a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist in Explanatory Reporting alongside The Center for Public Integrity and @revealnews.org for our “40 Acres and a Lie” investigation into how formerly enslaved people were given land—only to have it taken back: 40acresandalie.com

It was always performative outrage.

More stock market manipulation. It's so predictable. Market will be up today because trump says he won't try firing the head of the Fed. This afternoon after the market closes, there will be another statement that tanks the market tomorrow. Crime in plain sight.

Just spitballing here, but maybe it was a bad idea to vote for a guy who told you, repeatedly, he was going to fuck you over. Annndddd he is now fucking you over. Will you MAGAts never learn? This dude despises you. Your only value to him is your vote to keep him out of jail.

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife? HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "You've got so much that's manufactured south of the border. And then the final assembly is done north of the border... Those relationships took decades to build. He's destroying them in real time. But he's destroying the most important commodity... and that's trust."

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

I wonder if all those people who voted against KH because of Gaza are happy. Now you got a guy cheering on Netanyahu. It's going to be so much worse for Palestinians. Fools. Every single damn one.

The Supreme Court has been enabling Trump’s attempt to manifest what Nixon could only dream of: an executive imbued with absolute control, unrestrained by Congress. But how? On what possible legal basis? The theory is called "unitary executive"—and it's dangerous. Read @pemalevy.bsky.social.
