Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

@raskin.house.gov: "Mexico said they were gonna put 10k troops on the border-- they already had 15k troops on the border! ... He just likes a lot of razzle dazzle and noise, but the leaders of the world are laughing at him. And we can recognize what a fraudulent pretense this whole thing was."

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

Meiselas: I’m speaking to the union worker who voted for Trump. Now your job is gone, your family is less safe, prices are higher, and your government aid is frozen. When you sit at the table with your family, what are you telling them?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

"I was a heroin addict for 14 years," RFK Jr just now in his bid to be confirmed as Secretary of HHS. Imagine a person of color or a woman saying that and people shrugging it off as cool. That is 100% pure uncut white male privilege right there.

New Rule: If you write a children's book that seeks to indoctrinate kids against fellow American citizens and normalize domestic terrorism while featuring a character designed to idolize yourself, you forfeit the right to be FBI director.

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

That time arrived a long while ago. The question now is whether Democratic leaders fully understand and will act accordingly.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Absolutely batshit you can watch on live TV a rotting whale eating, bear corpse vandalizing, brainworm eaten, anti-science sex pest who drove an ex wife to suicide & looks exactly like corrupted Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks & sounds like Megatron auditioning to be head of America’s healthcare.

HELL YES: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker just SLAMMED Trump for bowing to Elon Musk: "If he doesn't agree with Elon or two Sieg Heils at his own rally and backing a party that backs Nazis, then he ought to say so. Why isn't Trump speaking out?”

Donald Trump is the LEAST self-aware human being I’ve ever encounter. He JUST emptied the prisons of 1500 fucking criminals in the United States of America. You can’t fix stupid.

Schatz: The drumbeat below all of this has to be that the policy of the Trump Administration is to rip regular people off. They’re transferring wealth from regular working people, the elderly, students, the disabled and shoving it to the wealthiest individuals that have ever walked this planet.

Straight white dudes: “I just don’t feel valued, appreciated, seen, and respected. I don’t see a lot of opportunities. And I don’t get to say what I really want to say.” Women, people of color, LGBTQs: “Welcome to the party, bitches.”

To our allies, I am so sorry this is happening. It’s sad to think you can no longer count on the United States of America, and…very possibly…have to fear the U.S. Believe me, this is NOT what most of America wants, no matter what the election results might have indicated.

This is a slap in the face to American women. Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations. Our troops deserve better.

I remember when advocating for mercy and compassion was considered Christian. Now it's considered radical ideology.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%. George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%. These numbers tell the whole story.

A number of the J6 prisoners who Trump pardoned or commuted on Monday had been given terrorism enhancements when sentenced. So, Trump is literally letting terrorists free. Remember that.
