MAGA Republicans really thought town halls would show the country that Americans are behind them. No 💕 Keep these clips coming our way! Hey MAGA: 2026 is coming. 🗳️ We’re voting you TF out.

I hope Ukraine rejects it. Whatever the short-term costs of doing so, it's worth it. Trump will only extort them further if they cave now.😥

Pelosi stayed on way too long in my view. But she was great in 2005-2006 and 2017-2018, leading the opposition against Republican presidents who seemingly had unlimited power. Jeffries is off to a dreadful start, and the party base knows it.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

COMMENTARY: When government shuts out journalists and the public we serve, it's not a sign of strength. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oldZ...

Just logged off my local NAACP zoom meeting. One of the senior citizens said he & a “large group” went into Norman’s office to sign the clipboards, ask for a town hall, and talk with staff. They just upped and did it. There’s a lot more citizen action than you can see through your phones. #SCpol

After an attack in Germany left six dead & hundreds injured, some argued the suspect had no clear ideology. ISD researchers analysed 100,000+ posts on X/Twitter from the alleged attacker & found he clearly and consistently promoted far-right & anti-Muslim ideas. Read the full Dispatch below.

🚨Don’t scroll by🚨 READ, Repost, and share this article wherever you can. It’s past time for everyone, republicans and democrats to be talking about this. “We should be horrified Trump used the same quote as a right-wing mass murderer” #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

Decades of sacrifice and work by generations of men and women across the globe up in smoke. Truly tragic. Tens of millions of American voters squandered the legacy of their parents and grandparents for the thrill of racism and “owning the libs.”

This is the voice message I left for my electeds tonight in the U.S.House and Senate, as they work towards resolution. I hope it helps you with yours: #ncpol #DontCutMyMedicaid

Trump was thrilled to announce tonight that he has terminated America’s most senior military officer — Gen. C.Q. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump failed to provide a reason as to why he abruptly fired Brown from his position. It is, in fact, the first time that the…

Trump is such a jackass I love this Do it Australia 🇦🇺

This is a shameful way to treat our fellow citizens who are public servants. This doesn’t make America great.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Friends - we will be doing additional content on this Monday. But a quick primer on what you need to know about Measles, from a recent segment. Stay vigilant, stay informed. youtube.com/watch?v=XNZP...

BRAVO to Maine Governor Janet Mills for slapping petty tyrant trump in the face with her calmly defiant "see you in court." THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 🔥🔥🔥

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Please remember this @abcnewsgo.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

Nicely done, Gov. Mills. This is how you stand up to a bully.

A must watch moment: Republican Sen Tom Tillis shows he may have a spine after all. I know it’s hard to believe, but he actually calls out Putin 👀 Thanks to @reallyamerican.bsky.social

"The AP therefore brings this action to vindicate its rights to the editorial independence guaranteed by the United States Constitution and to prevent the Executive Branch from coercing journalists to report the news using only government-approved language" www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/m...

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET: Judge Ho has entered an Order wherein he appoints Paul Clement as an amicus (a friend of the court to stand in the shoes of the former DOJ attorneys who were on this case) to argue its Motion to Dismiss. He adjourned Adams’ trial & terminated all pending trial deadlines.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"
