I am now a dissident. My rights don't matter unless everyone's rights matter. I refuse to live in a bad dystopian movie. No DMs. No Lists.

The Kennedy Center was established to honor President John F. Kennedy’s legacy of public service and the arts. Rep. Joyce Beatty is now suing to challenge its renaming. I stand with Rep. Betty in demanding this renaming be struck down.

The U.S. military is being used inside the United States. There's a lot we don't know about how, why, and under what authorities. Today, Lawfare is launching a new project–which includes a tracker and a map–to follow where and how the military is being domestically deployed.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

Good description of Jeffries. We don't need marshmallow leaders like Jeffries and Schumer in these times. We need more Pritzkers, AOCs, Crocketts and Newsoms. Light a fire!

Folks: If you're going to respond like Pavlov's press to every Trump tweet, at LEAST explain that his assault on voting machines is even more problematic than his assault on mail-in ballots.

Democrats voted unanimously to ban gerrymandering. MAGAs voted unanimously to allow gerrymandering. Democrats voted unanimously for the Voting Rights Act. MAGAs voted unanimously against the Voting Rights Act. If MAGAs could win elections on ideas they wouldn't be banning fair elections altogether

First thing these talking heads need to do is call out mainstream media (and some commentators) for not taking what's happening seriously.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

"Yes, please, I'd like some more" (definitely should be happening across the country).

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) —dragged at his own town hall. He should have known when it kicked off w/constituents reciting the Pledge of Allegiance w/extra emphasis on “justice for all.” Then came the truth: “I don’t think you’re the right fit for us anymore.” Even telling him it’s time to step down.

Tomorrow, we mark 35 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act! As Trump & congressional Republicans continue to roll back this vital progress, making it more difficult for individuals with disabilities to access critical services- we know the fight for equity is far from over!

250,000 Washingtonians will lose Medicaid due to MAGA Congress’s Big Betrayal of a bill. It’s possibly the worst legislation I’ve seen in 20 years of politics.

USW VP: The agency that so many veterans around this country rely on—for physical and mental healthcare, for screenings for toxic exposure, for financial support in times of crisis—has been weakened because of these cuts and can’t serve you, who served us and this nation, in your time of need.

Jon Stewart: The problem in our country isn't the sliver of able-bodied people who are somehow "coasting" on medical coverage, but the millions of people in this country who work full-time jobs and still need food and medical assistance. That's the system that's broken.

Epstein files: the new shiny object distraction from the failures and inhumanity of this administration.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review. Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

So God fired the key people, and you're praying he hires them back?
