The Heritage Foundation and Christian Nationalists think they’re really having their moment right now. Historically, extremists have never fared well in this country. Don’t mistake momentary momentum born of incompetence and grifting for real political strength.

The United States should not wage war against Iran. Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war. This is a horrific war of choice.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

On June 14th, we show up. Coalition members will be present at all 1,800 events nationwide, over 90,000 strong, helping monitor local conditions. Many veterans have stepped forward to support protesters, stand in solidarity, and defend our right to be heard. We thank them.

Now they’re arresting judges who follow the rule of law. Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for giving an immigrant sanctuary in her chambers when ICE showed up to snatch him without a proper warrant or due process. She did the right thing and stood up to the Trump/Patel Gestapo. ✊

Trump’s administration is trying to use the power of the state to supplant reality with conspiracy theories. And he’s willing to use the criminal justice system to do it. Some thoughts on another grim step toward authoritarianism. Gift link: wapo.st/3RHcnBk

Any Republican who says the vote they just took on the budget won't cut Medicaid to pay for a $7 trillion tax cut for billionaires like Elon Musk is lying to their constituents.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

President Donald Trump downplayed his involvement in invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1789 to deport Venezuelan migrants, saying for the first time that he hadn't signed the proclamation, even as he stood by his administration's move.

"The entire drama—from Hitler’s first swearing in to passage of the enabling law, which destroyed the German constitution—took 53 days." This is not "Trump is Hitler." It's "Things can get out of control quickly when you play with fire."

thebulwark.comHey Democrats: Maybe Now *Is* the Time to Fight?Trump is racing to dismantle the rule of law before Democrats can make him unpopular enough so that other institutions can push back against him. Do the Dems understand this?

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.
