Henderson: When we started No Kings, they said all we did was protest. And so we pivoted to talking about voting early. And then folks said, “Well, why aren’t you just protesting?”

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

This newly insane, unprecedented legal stalling does nothing but delay our deal with the receiver to take control of InfoWars. We now expect new traps in Alex Jones' amoral war to deny paying the Sandy Hook families, but we're freshly surprised by the U.S. legal system's appetite to put up with it.

some late-breaking news on @theonion.com’s quest to take over Infowars: A Texas appeals court just stayed the turnover of the site to the official who inked the agreement with an affiliate of The Onion. This puts the deal in bizarre legal limbo for now. More TK.

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

While hardworking Americans struggle to afford groceries, President Trump and Republicans are pouring billions of taxpayer dollars into a war with Iran instead of lowering costs here at home. At a time when families need relief, this is a clear misplacement of priorities.

theguardian.comTrump’s Iran war has cost Americans at least $11bn already. And that’s just the start | Arwa MahdawiThat $11.3bn doesn’t include any estimate of repairing facilities or replacing losses

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are. The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war. We always find the money for war. But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Gomez to Gabbard and Racliffe: "If the president can just ignore what you're doing, why do you even have a job? Why even advise him? You're saying the president can say tomorrow China is an imminent threat no matter what the intelligence says, and then he can take his own action."

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

I really want to know Senator Fettermen's rational for this tone deaf bs. There needs to be an investigation and transparency on this tragedy in Iran, but I know that's wishful thinking. If we are targeting civilians, we are officially playing with Putin's playbook.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

Fetterman doesn’t even give a shit about the kids in Iran. Let that in for a second.

CHRIS HAYES: “are you a yes, or no on the supplemental appropriations bill to continue to fund this war?” SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: “I’m a hell no on any more money for this war.” 🔥 I appreciate Senator Van Hollen’s clear-cut answer here. No gameplaying!

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”. ICE shot him 3 times and killed him. Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”. Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?” These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors. Abolish ICE

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
