Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

This is heartbreaking. Kids are being killed in class. And it's been 13 years since the Sandy Hook shooting. It's way past time for Congress to pass gun safety reforms. My heart goes out to every family suffering with a loss tonight. Our kids deserve better.

Check your voter registration often. Check again on the last day of registration in your state. Take dated screenshots! And if for any reason you are told at the polls you are not registered, you have the right to cast a provisional ballot. Do not leave until you do!

#BREAKING: In non-Missouri emergency docket news, #SCOTUS *grants* the Trump administration's request for a stay in the SAVE case, allowing DHS to have access to certain Social Security information. The three Democratic appointees dissent.

This needs to be stopped, and likely needs to have people camped out like during No DaPL protests. These corporations are going to eliminate all the old-growth trees you claim to love. Stop them. You squat on our land. Protect it. ourpubliclandsandwaters.substack.com/p/blm-plans-...

The very first thing we need to do when we win the midterms is court form on SCOTUS. Pack the court. Term limits. Rotating appointments per Presidency. Ethics requirements with teeth. All adopted by Congress under statute.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) - Supreme Court temporarily blocks lower court ruling that found Texas congressional map likely racially discriminatory.

This is a testament to all Oregonians who stayed non-violent in the face of federal troops and counter protestors trying every day to turn up the heat to give Trump the on-the-ground optics he desperately needed. Good on you!

Riding electric bikes with my 15 year old daughter on the #monontrail in Indianapolis. A lady thought my daughter was going too fast so she jumped in front of her and tried to make her wreck her bike. What is wrong with people??

If you were waiting for the right moment to call your Congressperson or Senator, now would be that time! Demand action, before it is too late!

Dahlia Lithwick@dahlialithwick.bsky.social

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

This is all anyone should be talking about. “On Sunday, Sorokin said in court documents that CBP had received notice of the court order but ‘nonetheless thereafter willfully disobeyed the order by sending [Alawieh] out of the United States’”

Mark Sumner 🌒@devilstower.bsky.social

“Despite judge’s order” is the line. There are no other boundaries to cross. This is the difference between a republic and a dictatorship in a single phrase and they walked over it not just knowingly, but eagerly.

Fantastic list of the companies you should still do business with. Or better yet BUY LOCAL!

✅ DEI Employers of the Day™ US Attorney General Pam Bondi will target private-sector DEI initiatives for potential “criminal investigation," Slate reports. But despite threats, 80 companies are standing firm on DEI, and the list is growing every day. Full list: www.impactivize.org/dei-employer...

Trump, with Netanyahu sitting next to him, says "Gaza maybe is a demolition site right now ... you can't live in Gaza right now. I think we need another location."

I’m baffled by the Dem ”do something” crowd. Why aren’t we screaming at the Republicans who currently own all 3 branches of government to “do something?”

More of this! Get loud. Be difficult - don’t give an inch! Call your representatives Dems and Reps alike and tell them to shut DOGE down!

“The big joke on democracy,” he observed, “is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.” It took Hitler just 53 days.

This is the blueprint to privatize education. *Launch school vouchers. *Enrollment in district drops below 50% available population. *Close district and force all schools to become “charter.” *Blow out the income disparity in education.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
