Looooool, get on the bus this morning to take us from the hotel to the Ford Museum and all the driver and convention assistant can talk about is the meltdown yesterday. This thing has legs, and if the Dems are smart, they’ll hammer it incessantly.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

Interstates are great, but they were town killers. When Route 66 disappeared, dozens (maybe hundreds) of towns basically died. Sometimes I think it would have been smarter to make interstates federal toll roads for commercial trucking only and kept America stopping at traffic lights in downtowns.

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

Chicago fighting back against ICE. You love to see it đź’Ş

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Sonoma County has been accused of deploying hundreds of drone flights over residents in a “runaway spying operation” that has violated the constitutional rights and privacy of locals, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the ACLU. via @leddder.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/cannabis/art...

🏆 I love LA.

I got no popcorn left at this point.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

Ah, the golden age.

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Terrifying stuff. Sharp decline in insect numbers tied to global heating. They are at the base of ecosystems and their decline will reverberate upwards. The fact that this is probably going to happen in my life time. We really need to stop burning fossil fuels today!

Media execs are blaming AI for killing news. Which is rich coming from the same folks who couldn’t make ads, subscriptions, native content, listicles or anything else work and fired every good journalist they ever hired. AI didn’t break your business model. You did.

Day 52. 🇺🇸

No objection. Lock him up.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

Jesus, this is awful.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

You don't get a job in the Taco Administration unless you know jack-shit about fuck-all for the position you were given.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Let’s send 1,000 letters to Congress over the next few hours, telling them to stop Trump’s authoritarian and wasteful military parade. Send your letters here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

BREAKING: The new head of FEMA told staff he did not know that the United States had a hurricane season. Yes, I am serious. www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

These people are just wrong about literally everything.

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

ICE are terrorists, pass it on

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

Nazi tactics favored by the regime. Hope we are all paying close attention to illegal incidents such as this. We can all be next. They also have no qualms coming after people’s children.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

People are pissed this morning because we exposed Peter Thiel. We’re under constant attack, but that’s expected. The greatest threat to the Trump administration is an informed public. That’s why they rely on secrecy and distraction. But we won’t look away.

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

Dems need to start explicitly, publicly, loudly, repeatedly promising oversight, investigations, subpoenas, hearings, prosecutations, & jail time for those ransacking our country. I want specifics, timelines, inevitability. The new Dem House will get sworn in on 1/3/27. What happens on 1/4/27?

Coming up at 12n ET, we're talking about breaking news on Elon Musk's drug use, whether he's really leaving government, a new ruling from the Supreme Court on immigration, the Federal Circuit ruling on Trump tariffs, and way more. Join us live or on the replay. youtube.com/live/rkp5Rnh...

This is some of the best YIMBY messaging and policy explanation out there.

Holy shit. This is what Joni Ernst had to say to a scared Iowan telling her that her attacks on Medicaid and food stamps are going to hurt people.
