GOP is smug bc they know they don’t have to worry about getting reelected.

The First Amendment does not discriminate.

DOJ: Courts have ‘no authority’ to force Abrego Garcia’s return Source: The Hill Exactly what part of the constitutional crisis is difficult to comprehend?

This, Rep Swalwell is so right! The "officials" defending these horrendous actions need to face the reality of their actions, & should be held accountable on an individual level. Looked up how that would work: the process needs to start ASAP; a shame that these days, the outcome is uncertain

Leave it up to bumbling JD Vance to really show how much of an idiot he really is!

And Xi could end up the most pro-Taiwan leader in Chinese history, because anything is possible I guess. If we’re killing all of the DEIs do we at least get to end affirmative action for conservatives, too?

There’s a word for this, and it’s called bribery.

Just 20 people knocked 19,000 door for Soren in Ward 8 in 2023—70% of all doors the campaign knocked—and came within 38 votes of defeating the incumbent council president. Recruit your twenty friends. Commit to a door knock shift every week June 1 to Election Day. Change the future of Minneapolis.

@michaelsteele.bsky.social What of the millions of workers now, ages 18-60ish that have SS deduction from wages - IF they totally kill SS, will they get their ‘deductions’ back, as it is their money assumed to be there for a retirement.

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Congrats to the citizens in Sackets Harbor! Power to the people
