Darline Graham on the passage of her bill named after her brother: "This legislation tells Russia's customers that the United States of America will not sit by while they fund Putin's assault." Tonight, Trump decided to waive the sanctions.

We’re on a path to lose the Senate but win the House. Let’s make sure we win both. We can’t move forward with the plan to expand the supreme court if we don’t win the senate.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Trump lost his war and is now bargaining from a position of weakness. Any deal to open the strait is going to cost tens of billions of dollars - a strait that was open before Trump and Bibi went in guns blazing.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

There is no deal FYI. The Strait will remain closed. This is terrible news but it’s the price of incompetence.

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare: "I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."

NEW: HOLY HELL. Remember when I asked how soon it would be before Blanche filed notice with the court that the shooting justifies the ballroom and the National Trust should drop its case?? Well late tonight, Blanche filed and INSANE motion to dissolve the court injunction. Check this out: 1/

Thank you to everyone who came out today, to my friend Rep Hawkins, and to Falco, a Red-tailed Hawk anticoagulant rodenticide survivor rescued by the New England Wildlife Center who joined us on the State House steps!

Dealing with rodents requires a multi-pronged approach. This may sound silly, but it’s a good alternative to rodenticides which can harm pets.

Meet Bruiser, a #BaldEagle who arrived unable to fly due to rodenticide poisoning. After treatment and supportive care, he made a strong recovery and was released back into the wild! Rodenticides can unintentionally harm wildlife when predators consume poisoned prey. #rescue #protectwildlife

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

Bondi was fired because she couldn’t get done the outrageous things Trump wanted her to do with DOJ. Why? Because the system worked thanks in large part to hero prosecutors, agents, judges and grand juries who said no. The next AG will have the same problem.

Meanwhile, in America, the Supreme Court says it’s perfectly legal to lie as a candidate, even if you’re defrauding people as part of a coup, as long as it’s an official act.

Barry Howard 🔶h@barryhow2c.bsky.social

The only party in Wales to vote against making it illegal to lie on elections was Reform. Reform thinks it ok to lie. 🤥🤔

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

The Constitution is decidedly anti-king. Not only does it prohibit the United States from conferring titles of nobility, but it also prohibits its officers from accepting any “Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

democracydocket.comNo kingsOn Saturday, when millions of Americans took to the streets and declared "no kings," they were objecting to  Donald Trump's disregard for these constitutional limitations.

We need to know how much energy data centers use – and if YOU are subsidizing the costs of Big Tech companies. Making this data public is the bare minimum.

Trump is now adding his name to U.S. dollar bills, the first time a sitting president's signature will go on paper currency. Historically, paper currency carries the signatures of the treasury secretary and the treasurer.

It's been confirmed that trump tried to convince Boebert to unsign the discharge petition. It's less about the files, and more about the vote that would ensue. Forcing tons of republicans to turn on trump. I've said this a million times. The discharge petition isn't about the files. 1/
