NOTE TO SELF: Next time google “what does this political party believe” before giving them $277 million

Each Supreme Court ruling will bring the people closer to embracing expanding the Court and reforming it. Roberts and Republicans have destroyed the Court's reputation and integrity beyond repair.

you know shit's serious when NYT is using the actual words to describe what's happening

Red state people especially, call your senators. Even if you know they'll vote for it anyway, don't let them think that it's popular, or that they'll get away with it. At least try to invoke a few pangs of guilt in them while they sell out the country. The more calls they get the better.

This is worth an extra phone call to your senators. Don't let them think nobody cares about corrupt judges who won't follow the law.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

This is what Trump’s mass deportations look like. Iranian Christians seeking asylum being handcuffed by masked ICE agents in front of their pastor.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

The authorities are investigating the death of a Canadian citizen who died Monday in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency said in a statement. Johnny Noviello, 49, is the 10th person to die in ICE custody this year.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

It also puts on full display his psyche and mental acuity. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

McConnell to Vought: "There's plenty of nonsense masquerading as aid that shouldn't receive another bit of taxpayer funding. But the administration's attempt to root it out has been unnecessarily chaotic. In critical corners of the globe, you have created vacuums for adversaries like China to fill."

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Chris Murphy gets it.

There's a big difference between "total obliteration" and just setting Iran's nuclear program back six or seven months. It's clear that the American President trusts the Israelis more than he does the American intelligence community.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Every story quoting Trump would be improved dramatically if it included “given his track record he is probably lying.”

Process is process and machine does what it’s built to do but imagine being the person who makes the decision that leads to this.

The "big, beautiful bill" weaponizes working-class reliance on debt to finance the college dream with such intensity that not only will it push millions to the financial brink, it will push them out altogether. Whatever schools survive are likely to be populated only by society’s wealthiest.

It turns out creating a situation where 25% of global petroleum liquids might go offline at any minute has an impact on oil prices, who would have guessed.

It’s not 2003 anymore anywhere in America except for CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times opinion page.

Vance goes on TV this morning and says it’s not about regime change. Then his boys Trump and Lindsey pissed all over him.

I know a country that could use some regime change pronto.

Ok, Congress! Did you approve the bombing of Iran? If not, he has completed the most impeachable offense yet. Do your damn job! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @repjasmine.bsky.social @repstansbury.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

The Ayatollah’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.

BREAKING: Representative Ro Khanna calls for all members of Congress to immediately return to DC and vote on his bill to strip Trump of the ability to drag America into war with Iran.

Crackdowns on civil liberties are always easier when a nation is at war.

Schumer puts out a statement: "We must enforce the War Powers Act, and I’m urging Leader Thune to put it on the Senate floor immediately. I am voting for it and implore all Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote for it."

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Our current Director of National Intelligence:

Sen. Mike Lee wants to sell off 3 million acres of OUR public lands-forests, peaks, and trails we'll never get back. If your senators don't vote NO, they're realtors now too. Call them TODAY and tell them: hands off our land.

Melissa Hortman is no longer with us “All because someone decided her voice was too powerful” “Female members regardless of party affiliation are the #1 target for violence, threats, & hate campaigns” For all women watching “We see you We’re going to Keep Showing Up, Louder, Stronger, Together”

Trump has overplayed his hand and he's doubling down by escalating his vicious deportation and militarization agenda across the country. Fight back, Dems! It works! Trump loses on this! (And it's also the right thing to do, you know, morally, if that happens to factor into your politics at all).
