Trump is a traitor. We are going to have to accept this reality and respond to the existential threat of it all. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/trum...

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

The government needs a warrant to search and seize our DNA — period. Dumpster diving to come up with ways to go after Representative Omar is completely unjustifiable.

GOAT TIME with Zach & Zahn! 🐐🎙️ Central Kentucky voted for no more endless wars. So why have we been at war in Iran for 7+ months? It makes no sense. #zachdembo #stevezahn #kentucky #ky #ky06

When Sharen Kickingwoman was growing up in Montana, she rarely saw Blackfeet history and culture taught in the classroom. We reached a historic settlement in the state, alongside @nativerights.bsky.social and @aclu-mt.bsky.social to ensure Montana fulfills its promise of Indian Education for All.

All these years later.... I'm STILL a member of The Resistance.

“many of his former DOGE foot soldiers have leveraged their government stints to fuel private-sector ambitions: building companies that tap government largesse or that deploy knowledge they garnered during their brief tenures in Washington.” It’s the accountability, stupid. cc: Democrats

Senate Banking just launched the Trumpflation Tracker. The affordability crisis is not a “hoax” like Donald Trump says. See for yourself how much more you’re paying because of Trump’s failed economic agenda

Please hear this warning from Mirjana Spoljaric, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The I.C.R.C. is a secretive organization that is not well known outside war zones. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDWd...

Phone Zap on ICE's National Tip Line Call 1-866-347-2423 and give them tips on how they can build a better world through creative noncompliance!

The ACLU and ACLU of North Carolina are launching a $3.5 million statewide campaign to educate voters on where candidates for our state supreme court and state legislature stand on civil liberties issues.

Eric Deters: "Kimberly Guilfoyle is a grifter. Kimberly Guilfoyle I have no doubt has done this to more than me. She's doing it right now in Greece. I know Corey Lewandowski did this stuff. I know Kristi Noem did this stuff."

Thank you for coming forward. We need more voices from inside the uniform standing shoulder-to-shoulder with us to reject this extremism, protect our democratic norms, and demand accountability.

TN-9 candidate Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social : “Gas is too high. Groceries are too high. Wages are too low… and blaming immigrants is part of the problem. The reality is people are struggling because the billionaire class is greedy.”

This week, we testified before the UN Human Rights Council about the alarming number of Black people who have been found dead, hanging, or drowned in the U.S. over the past decade. We urged UN human rights experts to investigate these deaths properly as our government continues to fail the public.

Angie Nixon wants to know which eyeliner Vice President J.D. Vance uses: “His eyes look so beautiful. They pop.”

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear our case challenging the Trump administration’s cruel and illegal policy subjecting millions of immigrants to mandatory detention. We'll see the administration in court.

Local HERO in Kansas gets arrested for slashing ICE agent's tires. In an effort to deescalate the surrounding crowd, the cop arresting him yelled that the Kansas man is being arrested for slashing tires. The crowd cheered in response to that and basically gave the man a standing ovation.

"Voughtism is "a clear intensification" of the right-wing's relentless assault on governing in the public interest and to undo in devastating damage gives Dems chance to reset away from neoliberal politics enabling "a robust government capable of meeting people’s needs" @kennystancil.bsky.social

NEW: The Trump regime is eviscerating the federal workforce as escalating risks increase the need for civil servants. Undoing the Vought-led onslaught is a matter of life-and-death. It would also be good politics.

A real fighter for democracy.

We’re going to flip a Senate seat in Florida! Join us tomorrow to meet @angieforfl.bsky.social and learn about her people-powered campaign. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Vought broke the law when he tried to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He also made it easier for wealthy corporations to cheat average Americans. www.courthousenews.com/judge-orders... Time to impeach & convict. ImpeachVought.com

This election season, we’re working to inform Michiganders about critical elections. The ACLU and ACLU of Michigan just launched an almost $1.9 million education campaign in select state legislative races while the ACLU Voter Education Fund is spending almost $400k in the state supreme court races.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

"Holy shit that's a nasty surprise. There are things you expect to cost $500, like a Nintendo Switch, or tix to see Ed Sheeran 2 weeks ago 👀... being able to breathe is not one of them." John Oliver on our broken health care system ☠️ people unnecessarily. #MedicareForAllNOW

“The arrangement would give Vought, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, a direct role in determining how NIH distributes its $48 billion in congressionally-appropriated money.” Bypassing the many checks and balances at NIH on grant funding decisions.

A bunch of sharks cruising the Maine coast may seem ominous, but it’s actually a conservation success story.

Monetization and corruption of the American presidency on a scale not only unprecedented but unimagined.

"The Trump family has turned the presidency into a side hustle." Watch @menefee.house.gov name names while he calls out the Trump administration's rampant corruption. Oversight Dems will hold them accountable.

You can't move fast and break things in the government. The things you break are people.

A continuation of the USWDS thread I wrote earlier this week. Building a monolithic America.gov will be an unmitigated disaster. Making "pretty" websites isn't fixing our public services. I wrote about this two months ago here: democracy-papers.ghost.io/government-i...

A few folks asked us to talk about drug-resistant ringworm, so here we go! Ringworm is a common fungal infection of the skin, hair, or nails. Most cases are mild and treatable. But some emerging types are spreading to new places, causing more extensive infections, or becoming harder to treat.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Katie Couric and I had a wonderful discussion this afternoon about America and its future during these troubled times. Thank you so much, Katie, for inviting me to join you and your terrific subscriber audience on Next Question! judgeluttig327269.substack.com/p/election-n...

President Trump's attempt to enforce his mail ballot restrictions this November was rejected by the highest court in the land. Mail ballots will continue to be delivered by the USPS as usual.

Department of 'Government Efficiency'. And this is just the primary cost. The secondary costs in services disruptions, long term systems impact, etc... will be exponentially higher. #DOGE #IRS #SSA #DRP

The truth is none of y’all hate Robert Kraft enough. Get on my level. (From February) gillianbrockell.com/the-truth-ab...
