Sherrod Brown is 💯% right

I think taking seriously that the president is an honest-to-God deranged gangster, and every lawful institution meant to stop that from happening has failed and has no real prospect of functioning, is so unsettling that a lot of folks have just decided to retreat into fantasy as a coping mechanism.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Right now, I’m hearing firsthand accounts of the violence being unleashed in Minneapolis. It’s horrifying. Minnesotans are on the front lines. This is a call for unity, not division.

We’re holding a field hearing on ICE disappearances and unconstitutional tactics targeting Black, Brown, and AAPI communities.   I’ll be sharing updates from the hearing — stay tuned.

If we write off all news media, we’re playing into Trump’s hands. Some outlets are doing well while others stink. In this installment of my free Stop the Presses newsletter, I give letter grades to major media outlets. See if you agree.

Why won't the mainstream media just go there and broadcast what's happening? Geez it's not rocket science.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Exactly this

Another casualty of the fucking pedophile Trump Administration… The First Amendment.

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

Wow, the @nytimes.com story about Navy Seals’ mission in North Korea in 2019 is STUNNING

Sing it.

Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

Damn.😙

I am begging my fellow Dems to emerge from the reflexive “it’s a trap” position on these issues and realize that some things are very simple: the public doesn’t like the federal government turning the military against its own citizens.The public doesn’t like the armed occupation of a city.Period.

Alaska, is this what you voted for, to give Russia Alaska’s mineral resources?

He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency. As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power. He laughs.

If tr*mp really runs for a third term, we’ll have no choice but to draft President Obama to run against him

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill 1/3

Hey, Democrats, here’s an idea: Run on fixing Social Security. On fixing Medicare & Medicaid. Don’t over complicate it, just run on “they’re broken, we’ll fix them.”

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

@schumer.senate.gov get on the ball and respond right now to this outrage! @padilla.senate.gov is a hero!

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Pharmacy benefit managers’ business practices have operated with little regulation, transparency, and accountability for far too long. Illinois is putting an end to that and leading the nation in bringing transparency to PBM drug pricing.

Donald Trump is attacking Harvard for refusing to carry out his political agenda. Now, innocent students are caught in the crossfire. Harvard is right to fight back. But this isn't just about Harvard — anyone who crosses Trump could be punished. It's a threat to all of us.

Amazon showing what chickens they are. No transparency

People need to stop saying that these cuts are needed to pay for the tax cuts. They don't gaf about paying for them or the national debt. Trump didn't "pay" for the last tax cut and added $8T to the national debt without breaking a sweat. They WANT to cut SS, Medicare etc. It's the plan.

Trump’s tariff ignorance is giving strong WKRP vibes—“As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly”

Hurrah Senator Cory Booker!

"Claims about payments to long-deceased beneficiaries are demonstrably false. The SSA employs robust verification mechanisms, incl'g automatic investig'n of nonagenarians without recent medical claims" & outright benefit denial for anyone claiming >115 yrs of age [@jamespethokoukis.bsky.social, AEI]

Exclusive: US Chief Justice John Roberts said the impeachment of federal judges is “not an appropriate response” to disagreement with their rulings

Nope, not watching, not listening, not reading about it

Nothing surprising here—expect the worst.

I live in SW PA. It’s a place with a HUGE Ukrainian, Serbian, Slovak heritage. (Google: international village McKeesport) The number of people that went from hard-core MAGA to hard-core Ukrainians in 24 hours is not one bit surprising. #slavaUkrani сьогодні я українець (Today, I am Ukrainian)

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

I’m in—no purchases, anywhere.

Im excited to take place in the economic blackout boycott tomorrow. I hope you'll join me and millions of others.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
