So now Darline Graham faces a bipartisan endorsement of her Democratic opponent just 7 days before the election. #BlueWaveIn7Days Double check your registration and your voting location here 👇🏽iwillvote.com

When a former Republican governor and a former Democratic governor who once ran against each other unite behind the same Senate candidate, that’s NEWS. David Beasley and Jim Hodges are backing Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina. #BlueWaveIn7Days

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

illinois gov. JB pritzker responds to ken paxton's threat to arrest TX democrats who fled the state: "they're here in illinois. we're going to do everything we can to protect every single one of them."

Chilling on several levels. This will do permanent damage to the US's limited but critical role in helping to maintain human rights standards outside (and inside) the US. Compliance with these long-standing norms is viewed as a nuisance, to merely be complied with, rather than as an active pursuit.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Gee, I wonder why we don't hear Anthony Fauci on measles and vaccines. Gee Donald, thank you for removing his SecretService protection, enabling death threats against him to keep him quiet. #FaceTheNation

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

Or, it's the fascism, stupid!

Well said!

This is utterly heartless.

The latest news from Burlington, Vermont. 😄🇺🇦

Marco Rubio is a fooking idiot.

Every governor should make a similar statement.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

End Racism.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Understand that Trump and Musk are off doing their own thing. The base has outlived its usefulness.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

We need a group of lawyers who are willing to take every lawsuit from every fired federal employee to the max. Bury this admin in lawsuits

In case you didn't notice, there is an active coup going on. ‪Anne Applebaum‬ ‪@anneapplebaum.bsky.social‬: "Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

Perfectly captured.

look I’m no messaging expert but it seems like the American people might be interested to know that Donald Trump just gave our social security numbers to a teen called BigBalls

The four bros who were acting suspicious and kept trying to go into the building left about 30 minutes ago.
