If money is speech, as Citizens United established, Gabbard will utterly fail at this. Unless she doesn’t care about how believable their reasons for stifling dissent are.

Context to Context Note: the Speech & Debate Clause protects politicians from civil and criminal liability for acts—like lying about what evidence shows—taken (or speech) in furtherance of their congressional duties. Take anything they won’t say on TV but will say on the floor with a grain of salt

@abc7.bsky.social is no longer news. It’s entertainment for Trump. It’s used to justify his inhumane actions. Shame.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

ABC News fired a reporter at the White House’s request, who called Steven Miller evil. They abandoned all journalistic principles to appease a man child. Disney owns ABC News. Stop buying Disney. Unsub from ABC streaming services. #abclovesdeportation

@abc7.bsky.social all of you working at ABC need to strike, find another job, or speak out. ABC has capitulated to Trump’s anger at the truth. Your bosses are richer than you’ll ever be, don’t give a damn about you or America. Stand up and walk away from that pathetic new organization.

Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"

Lots of folks are expressing dismay over having to cheer on Gavin Newsom. So remember: We are loyal to the policy, not the politician. Oppose those who do the wrong thing, even when they are otherwise good people. Support those who do the right thing, even when they are loathsome shit weasels.

@nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com thanks for taking the “both sides” approach. Without it your papers may have lost profits or gone out of business. Now, in an authoritarian US, nobody cares about your “news” because we all understand it’s propaganda. Y’all normalized this. History remembers.

More proof the GOP was never about freedom, America, the constitution, law, personal responsibility…the NRA was taking Russian money. Did everyone forget? The loud and proud 2A folks are the same ones too scared of LEO to ever protest. They’d rather complain and blame everyone else for their probs

If POTUS wants to deport millions he’s not only deporting criminals. He’s also spending a good deal more than DOGE actually saved.

Call Dem reps and kindly explain this. While the GOP frames the argument, reality, and the framework in which disputes are resolved; Dems are sticking to their guns, insisting they know best. 🙄 Their inaction led us here. Their receipt of corporate funds and refusal to resign for new, younger ppl

Solidarity is more important than ever. That's why I invited my opponents to cohost this Pride event with me and I hope they take me up on it. Democrats need to stand for something and when it comes to common ground and basic values, we need to stand together.
