Vote early. Election Day is the end of the election, not the beginning. With everything this regime is going to do to suppress our votes, it’s imperative that we leave plenty of time to correct any issues.

Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

Susan Collins voted to give ICE and CBP $70 billion. She owns the consequences of that vote.

I do not believe democracy is compatible with billionaires being able to spend unlimited amounts of money on politics.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

No previous president has ever manipulated American foreign and domestic policy in order to make himself a billionaire. Unprecedented www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

When a federal agency tasked with protecting all Americans decides to mandate a specific religious worldview, it ceases to protect democracy and begins to threaten it.

The Sargent at Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from Memphis from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.

A core part of the Supreme Court’s stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isn’t a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.

thank you sam alito for ending the unconstitutional racial discrimination against white conservatives and allowing them to obliterate federal representation for as many black people as they can manage, as the reconstruction congress intended

By gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is killing the Second Reconstruction. The first Reconstruction shows how Congress should respond. Me and Daphna Renan in the NYT on the tools we have to save democracy from a hostile Court.

If Republicans have had a belated realization that gerrymandering is bad, they should work with Dems to ban it entirely. I suspect though that they think it’s just bad when it happens to them. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Truth of gerrymandering issue is simple & clear: Democrats want to end gerrymandering, Republicans want to keep it. Democrats are forced to do it, to counter Republican use of it. Yet, false-equivalency (implicitly pro-Trump) rags are lying about the issue through their blatantly false narratives.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Orban's regime isn't just a Trump ally--he's the model for Trump's regime. Orban created a hybrid regime with the appearance of democracy, rampant corruption, stealing of elections, and the absence of the rule of law. His loss would be a setback for the project of authoritarianism worldwide.

I assume Orban conceded because the opposition's victory is too staggeringly large to deny. It's important for us to remember that, were he in Orban's position, Trump would never concede, no matter how large the margin.

America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela. It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe But it never goes to help Americans

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Pretty sure an American president gleefully promising to commit mass war crimes in our name should be removed immediately and never hold any public office ever again, for starters.

New U.S. bargaining position has no mention of the strait, or proxies, or ballistic missiles. Basically the president is begging for a return to the Obama nuclear deal but with Iran adding a massive new revenue source.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.

remember those other branches of government

Deranged criminal who’s been casually slaughtering civilians in your name with your tax dollars in an illegal war he started for no reason gleefully promises to commit his biggest war crimes yet. Tell your members of Congress that it’s long past time to wake the fuck up.

Don't forget: this dangerous and risky rescue operation would not have been necessary had Trump not started an illegal war of choice in the first place. All of these troops were in danger for no discernible reason. Zero.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Small dictator energy.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Americans live in a country where the leader can order the murder of anyone he wants, and doesn’t even need to explain why. The rule of law is gone. Republicans killed it.

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a ‘cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

UK: Prince Andrew arrested. South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life. Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence. USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.

‪Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

So, to wrap up today's insanity: President Trump, who is deeply implicated in a pedophilia scandal involving his best friend, the sex trafficker, sent Attorney General Bondi -- who only has that job because Trump's first choice was also implicated in a separate pedophilia scandal -- to the House...
