Everyone is going to die. Republicans just want to make sure that as many people as possible suffer in the most painful and difficult way, hungry and in crushing poverty. Just like bible and their plastic jesus tells them is the most righteous.

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

If violence breaks out at a protest, sit down in silence. It exposes agitators, protects peaceful protesters, and creates powerful optics the media can’t ignore. In the face of possible provocation, unity and discipline are our strongest defense—and a loud message in stillness 🪑✊🕊️🎥

This tracks! 👇👇👇

“Millions of Americans will lose their health coverage, local hospital systems will face unprecedented financial strain, state operational costs will spike." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

NYT: “The episode was recorded by someone who was sitting in Mr. Nadler’s office. In the video, an officer with the Federal Protective Service, part of the Department of Homeland Security, is shown demanding access to a private area inside the office.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/n...

😂🤣

He nailed it!

Your good news of the day

We fought a war so we wouldn’t have a ruler who wanted majesty. It’s the people’s house, not a palace or a tacky casino.

Sadly for President Donald Trump’s most ardent fans, there’s probably no room left on Mount Rushmore. | Analysis

Of course she did! My God Republicans have become truly loathsome humans haven't they! #JoniErnst 🤮

HOLD UP. Are you telling us that the President of the United States is refusing regular briefings about threats to the country so his minions are creating a briefing TV show just for him? WHAT THE HELL? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Presidents are not kings. Court orders are not optional.

Not sure if democracy remains on the docket? My law firm is litigating 53 voting and election cases in 22 states. ⚖️🗳️ When we fight, we win.💪

Of my stars how I laughed! Happy Saturday all! 😂😂😂

Scream about this from the mountaintops #America, while you still have a voice. My God the U.S. is virtually unrecognizable!

Indeed!

House Dem Raskin sends letter to President Trump about the Trump meme coin dinner last week. Trump will never respond obviously. But it documents some important ethics questions. Cites multiple stories we wrote at The New York Times democrats-judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfile...

This Day in Labor History: May 31, 1889. The South Fork dam above the city of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, collapsed during a heavy rainstorm. Over 2200 people died!!! Let's talk about workers killed by steel capitalists responsible for the collapsed dam, led by the vile Henry Clay Frick!

So just like in America felon 47 is expecting expensive gifts for favorable treatment.

How do these loathsome people ever convince folks to elect them in the 1st place?! It's very clear why the #Trump administration is going after education & banning books etc.. He's needs to keep people ignorant & uninformed in order to continue to manipulate them.

This is what leadership looks like! Nothing but respect for Governor Tim Walz! 👇

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Hope that Canadians continue to pay attention post election as this could also be our fate should #PierrePoilievre worm his way back into power. Stay vigilant & strong Canada! The very real threat to democracy is ongoing. #cdnpoli

😂😂😂

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

I strongly agree! There needs to be actual consequences & accountability for Modi's multiple violations of international law. Sikh organizations are calling on Ottawa to break with a 5-year tradition by not inviting Indian PM Narendra #Modi to the #G7 summit. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

It has to be said… There is nothing pro-life about taking food and healthcare away from people! There is nothing pro-life about deporting people because you are a racist, and you hate the poor! There is nothing pro-life about giving more to the rich while everyone else pays the price!

“This is just taking money from households and transferring it to banks and credit card companies, and to water and power utility companies.... It means Americans will pay the costs in higher household bills.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

He was here legally seeking asylum and made a wrong turn at the Peace Bridge.

Russian Major Zaur Gurchiev, who was responsible for "developing missile targeting schemes" during the Mariupol bombing, dies in an explosion in Stavropol. Nikita Penkov, 29, walked up to Gurchiev, Deputy Mayor of Stavropol, and detonated an explosive device attached to his body.

It's not.

Now they're stealing our judiciary for real: www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
