"The President Donald J. Trump Truth and Justice Commission." I like the sound of that. @lizcheney.bsky.social can adopt that name when Democrats retake the House and she gavels in the commission to investigate the Trump administration's crimes. x.com/kfaulders/st...

"The filibuster disproportionately impacts Democrats because Republicans generally want tax cuts and judicial appointments, which the current filibuster does not affect. So it doesn’t cut into what Republicans want, but very much affects the reforms Democrats would like to make."

ICE is beyond redemption and should be dismantled bit by bit

Internet rules dictate that whenever you see the Tom Holland Umbrella video, you have to share it. I'm just following the rules.

The video version of this is behind a paywall BUT the transcript is free for anyone to read. I went through the version that aired on CBS and the full 40 minutes that was included online and show exactly what was cut and what wasn’t. open.substack.com/pub/decoding...

They changed the headlines—not the policy. ICE isn’t in the spotlight anymore… but the raids, detentions, and family separations never stopped. I break down what’s really happening open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil. It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

"This is an important thing to think about."

Reports make it fairly clear that ICE detention facilities are worse than most US prisons. And for the most part they're crammed full of people who haven't been convicted of any crime.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

Today marks the commemoration of the Bucha massacre. A dark day. Hundreds of civilians were slaughtered by Russian troops. Leaders gather in Ukraine to honor the victims today. We hope one day the same remembrance will be given to the 170 girls killed in a school bombing by U.S. forces in Iran.

they are all named here: publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/lawreview/20...

I know I’m a broken record on this but: A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

Most legacy media aim to give you both sides of what people are saying about voting rights. Democracy Docket's goal is to explain what's actually happening. Support and subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

In my darkest moments, I fear that this is how democracy dies. Not with a secret conspiracy conducted in the middle of the night. But with a brazen confession made public in the light of day. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

Jared Kushner wants to find a way to reward Putin for invading Ukraine with “business deals.”

How do you fix a situation where a corrupt president can have his allies make bogus lawsuits against our own government, and then direct his corrupted "Justice Department" to settle and shell out taxpayer money to his corrupt friends? We need to start thinking about writing laws around this *now*.

Good afternoon. This is your daily reminder that Trump just lifted sanctions on Iran to give them $14 BILLION to hep fund their war against us. In other words, your daily reminder that this is probably the dumbest war of all time.

What kind of country permits one man to destroy all it has built over the last centuries, simply because he was elected?

if i were running dem party comms, all our people would today be talking about the president having a dance party while our soldiers are being shot at while gas prices go through the roof

The lack of national coverage of Border Patrol and Operation Midway Blitz in Chicagoland is perhaps the most profound failure of the media in 2025.

just can not shake the feeling that democratic leadership really believes they are just a couple votes away from the halcyon times of enjoying senate softball and seersucker suit day

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Every other post in conservative media right now is about Sydney Sweeney. You can smell the desperation on them. They don’t want to talk about inflation, the Epstein cover-up, or how Trump’s created the worst job market since he was last in office.

Safety regulations are written in blood

As California goes, so goes the nation.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

"Liberate the city" What does that mean? The Trump Administration should be asked by every reporter.

There's never a savior. We're in this mess because we don't understand that self-governance takes effort. We've been careless with our freedom and too willing to give it up. Shall we despair or shall we try our best to get it back?

The protests in Romania in 1989, in Ukraine in 2014... Were mostly leaderless. So are the protests in Serbia right now. You do not need leaders, you need communicators most of all. Explain to the fence sitters who stayed at home in 2024 that the monster is going to eventually come for them all.

With over 95% in, Keishan Scott (D) defeats William Oden (R) by 41.2 points in a district Kamala Harris only won by 5.1 points. That's a Dem overperformance of 36.1 points.

My first day on campus I felt like a Wal-Mart kid on rodeo drive. But @Yale quickly became my second home and the Afro American Cultural Center my safe space. Tonight, I was honored to receive a “Legacy Award” at the 55th Anniversary of the House at Yale. Grateful to be a part of the legacy.

No seat left uncontested in ‘26!!! What good is a wave if there is no one there to ride it?! LFG!!!

📣 100+ town halls in GOP turf — with House & Senate Dems leading the charge. ✅ Special election wins — From NE to SC, we’re winning and overperforming. But somehow folks stay obsessed with drama in safe blue primaries and miss the actual work being done. We don’t have time for the foolishness.

This is a ridiculous distraction. In a short period Ken Martin has made tremendous progress to build the DNC infrastructure to beat MAGA in ‘25 & ‘26: 💰 Historic — State parties now getting $22.5K/month from the DNC. First time ever.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

What’s a greater threat to humanity: climate change, or the potential collapse of democracy? Maybe they've got a lot to do with each other. On this week's Boiling Point podcast, we're talking authoritarianism and the environment: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Good Morning Bluesky!!!!! Happy Pride Month (for those who understand how things work)!🏳️‍🌈 #SheShed #DefendersofDemocracy ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Are any other words needed? The question is WHY? How are we allowing this to be overlooked? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
