Trump’s reckless and discriminatory travel ban doesn’t make us safer. All it will do is further isolate the United Statesfrom our allies and weaken our global leadership.

Trump’s latest travel ban is blatantly racist. But will it survive legal challenges because of SCOTUS precedent? youtu.be/yUohYbI3L7Q?...

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

Listen Guys, after what you two dipshits have put the world thru, you owe us a UFC cage fight to settle this score. Please.

The opening drive in the Super Bowl of Sociopathy has begun!!

Raising the $7.25 an hour minimum wage to a living wage is not a radical idea. Since 2020, voters in Florida, Nebraska, Missouri & Alaska approved a major increase in their minimum wage. What’s radical is that the federal minimum wage has not gone up since 2009.

The Supreme Court’s decision preventing Smith & Wesson from being held accountable for putting weapons of war onto the streets is why Congress needs to pass the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act. Americans impacted by the scourge of gun violence deserve better.

Folks, let's not go all rosy retrospection with Elon Musk. Just because he and the Orange Turd don't get along anymore doesn't mean he's invited to the table.

The Trump administration is again putting women’s lives at risk. But federal law still requires hospitals to provide emergency care, including abortion, to pregnant women in all 50 states. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump and Musk are feuding. Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't know what was in the bill she voted for. Joni Ernst is walking through cemeteries and saying we’re all going to die. Would be funny if they weren’t kicking 16 million Americans off their health care.

I was grateful to spend some time with the amazing @maddow.msnbc.com and I wanted to share it with you. She is the gold standard when it comes to exceptional journalism. We talked a little bit about everything, including the law and languages and her show. Here's Part 1: youtu.be/mjPJo0gosbU?...

from today's post, about that rake-stepping imbecile Comer Fudd strapping on the clown shoes and dropping a subpoena on Joe Biden's doctor. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/4ksFOUt (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

“He’s not a strongman. He’s not even a leader. He’s a man throwing a tantrum because the world won’t revolve around him.” Trump’s allies are turning on him—Musk, Barrett, Powell—and he’s losing his grip. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-emp...

Disco. This. Right here.👇🏻👇🏻

A federal judge ordered the government Wednesday to allow Venezuelan men who were removed from the U.S. by the Trump administration earlier this year to challenge their ongoing imprisonment in El Salvador. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

30 days to stop this bill. SNAP is a lifeline—millions will go hungry if it’s taken away.

Just a reminder even though he opposed the bill NOW, AFTER it passed, Elon Musk is not a good guy. He wants MORE cut out of what you need. This is a guy that’s a billionaire for one reason: the US Govt tax breaks and financing

Fake Agency DOGE is actually going to cost us money. youtu.be/-8YREs4vmUA?...

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

This is the test of our democracy right now: how much will Republicans in Congress let President Trump get away with defying the law? The answer should be: this moment shouldn’t be about party. It should be about the country.

BIG NEWS: The Trump Administration is ordered to provide docs and depos as to its deal with El Salvador to imprison immigrants at terror prison. I break down this court order and why it’s going to make some important info very public: youtu.be/sca8xNYcMHg?...

Agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene once every 100 years. This is that time. (Republicans didn’t read their own bill.)

I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here is the TRUTH:

The U.S. Department of Justice issued a formal warning to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, accusing it of violating federal law by failing to provide voters with a required complaint process under the Help America Vote Act.

Trump slashes funding for FEMA and other natural disaster relief programs just in time for things like hurricane season. Trump wants all Americans to suffer, regardless of party affiliation. Why? Because he doesn’t care about you. youtu.be/Y8PQn3OdRj8?...

Maybe this is old fashion, but the goal of government is not to hasten the deaths of Americans. Republicans should reread the bible – Jesus did exactly the opposite of what they’re doing with their Big Ugly Bill.

Creating a world free of bigotry, where everyone — no matter their sexual orientation — can live and love as their true selves is something I have fought for since I was Mayor of Burlington. Happy Pride month to everyone in the LGBTQ community.

Oligarchs are addicted to greed. In 1982, there were just 13 US billionaires worth $14 billion. Today, while 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, there are 903 US billionaires worth $6.8 trillion. Enough is enough. We need an economy that works for all, not just the top 1%.

Had a great convo with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social over on sub, about Ukrainian brilliance, why Russia won’t use nukes, and American Democracy. Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/adam-and-p...

NEW: A right-wing think tank known for drafting model legislation for state GOP lawmakers, is expanding its state-level anti-voting efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"To actually draw the maps, PILF turned to Adam Kincaid, the executive director of the National Republican Redistricting Trust, the party’s national redistricting organization." www.democracydocket.com/a-texas-gerr...

The GOP Tax Scam rips healthcare away from millions of everyday Americans. Yes, that’s a disgusting abomination.

“White House Soirée” aka: a money making scheme for Trump.

here's today's post: "no gay boat for the Navy, because what if it turns all the other boats gay" — we’re trapped in the dumbest possible timeline. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

Someone just sent me a group email making the case for Jamie Dimon for president. No. No more rich oligarchs

🚨NEW: The Republicans who run one of Texas’ biggest counties have recruited the national GOP’s top map-drawer, as well as a leading Washington, D.C.-based anti-voting group, to ram through a new gerrymander that aims to expand their majority. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/top...

Proud that my law firm is representing the plaintiffs in each of these lawsuits. "Since late August, three states — Louisiana, New Hampshire and Wyoming — have approved proof-of-citizenship laws, and voting rights groups have sued over them." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Harvey Milk was a veteran, a dedicated public servant, and an LGBTQ trailblazer. He showed courage and grit in just about everything he did. Despite Trump’s best efforts, the president will never tarnish that legacy.

Today, Karoline Leavitt claimed Donald Trump is delivering on his promises. Wait a damn minute, that’s a lie! Even Trump’s billionaire ally Elon called his budget “a disgusting abomination.” For once we agree, Elon. Watch. Share. Call your Senator. Demand they vote NO. #WaitADamnMinute #WePersist

When Mr. Musk, the wealthiest man alive & major campaign contributor, expresses strong distaste for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, Republicans will listen & obey. That means more cuts to Medicaid, nutrition & education. The oligarchs want it ALL. We’re not going to let that happen.
