Anyone who still supports Trump is a supporter of treason and complicit in the destruction of democracy and destabilization of the global order.

Why can’t we have a decent life working 40-50 hours a week? As soon as you figure out a way to make a dollar more, they’re going to take it away from you.

The Big Ugly Bill adds $3.4 TRILLION to the national debt. Not to fund schools. Not to fix roads. Not to lower your grocery bill. To pad the wallets of people who already own most of the country. Your grandkids get the bill. The donor class gets the breaks.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

Democrat led states across this country are dragging their feet on so many things every single state we can, should follow Hawaii's neutering of Citizen's United.

Jalen Brunson: “You’re allowed to think about the worst possible scenario. But you gotta go out there and do something about it.” A good mantra for fighting fascism too.

So horrific. Another double-tap on rescue workers. “Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said more than 3,100 people have been killed by Israeli attacks since March 2” www.commondreams.org/news/israel-...

🚨BREAKING: Israel just KILLED a team of rescue workers in southern Lebanon today in a DOUBLE TAP strike. A father and his daughter were killed, then rescue workers were ALSO bombed upon arrival.

After Plessy v Ferguson it was 58 years before we got a court willing to overturn it. I don’t think Black people who want to vote and women who want to have rights to their bodies and trans people who want to EXIST should have to wait that long because it offends your sense of propriety.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours. Gas prices skyrocketing. Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month. Another war in the Middle East. Are we great again yet?

We need more moral leadership in this country, and less political leadership. I don't mean preachers. I mean people who serve as a quiet example in our everyday lives, of what doing the right thing looks like.

Hearing from several of my sources that the largest immigration detention center in the country, Camp East Montana, is now in a facility-wide quarantine due to the measles outbreak there. Visitation is suspended indefinitely. DHS has not gotten back to me yet.

Arguably the most fateful decision Mitch McConnell made was to not reconvene the Senate Jan. 13, 2021 to hold the impeachment trial of Trump while he was still in office. McConnell later voted it was unconstitutional to try Trump after he left office when he had blocked the trial before he left.

This is a critical point from Sen Chris Murphy: If Dems fold on ICE now, it could be a disaster in the midterms. "The result will be a lot of voters who tend to turn out in midterm elections just won’t." Here's our full exchange. It's powerful stuff: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

This is not about Bovino or Noem. They need to go. This is about Stephen Miller - he has been masterminding and leading Trump's immigration regime of terror. Until Miller is gone from the White House, nothing will change. As long as Miller is there - he will run the show as the de facto POTUS.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Say their names. Remember their names. Two American citizens who were murdered in cold blood by ICE and are now being dehumanized by Republicans as "domestic terrorists for peacefully standing up for their neighbors.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Follow this full thread for screen shots of the incident. ICE had taken the gun before they executed him.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

I recently heard historian Robert Kagan say: “What's at risk right now is literally our democracy in the sense that I don't think Trump is going to allow free and fair elections in 2026.” My job is to fight in court to prove him wrong even while I fear he may be right.

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

SNAP benefits are currently being held hostage by the Trump administration and their fate now lies with the Supreme Court. Beneath the legal arguments are real people who simply need food—a former federal worker, a single mother of 4, a disabled man. I spoke to them. Here are their stories:

There is light at the end of this tunnel. Keep fighting. Keep organizing. Keep voting. Keep protesting. Keep boycotting. Keep informing. Keep resisting. Keep hoping. We will not only get through this—we will end fascist and oligarchic rule, and build a democratic future that works for all of us.

Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

Yes, I care greatly about the outcome of the midterms, but if you’re not feeling urgency to speak out and push back every day between then and now, you’re missing the gravity of this moment.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress: I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

American companies like #walmart and #mcdonalds are not paying employees a living wage so they need to supplement income to eat using SNAP benefits. These people aren’t “lazy” - the companies are greedy.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.
