Noted radical... Hillary Clinton... now in favor of court expansion. :)

Lake Superior Academy is a beautiful school that had offered an incredible outdoor learning experience — that is until this Bitcoin mining farm moved in…

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over? Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID

New in PN: The plot against Ukraine (and Europe) "Trump’s open effort to join nations like Iran & North Korea in aiding Putin’s murderous assault on Ukraine is nothing short of disastrous & will leave a lasting moral stain on the US. But there may be something of a silver lining to this dark cloud"

The Trump admin is moving forward on plans to impose financial penalties on Americans in default on their federal student loans and hire private debt collectors to go after them. The plans are unlikely to be announced until after the midterms.

An American president is encouraging an enemy to destroy American cities. This is treason, though he will claim we are not at war.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Voters should realize that Trump—with his failure to grasp basic economics—is a danger to our economy. He has brought us higher prices, trade tensions, slower GDP growth & huge economic uncertainty Voters should remember this in November www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

NEW: I have obtained descriptions of NINE FBI training videos showing agents were instructed to flag Trump's name in the Epstein files for supervisory review. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

really worth watching the whole thing play out...

100% should follow him around for the rest of what’s left of his political career. His 2028 VP hopes were dashed in two minutes and I love that for him.

The ICE agent who shot Araujo in a Houston is named GREGORY FEATHERS. Make sure everyone knows.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

This is why I want the judge to rule on First Amendment grounds and not just due process grounds - because trump can "fix" due process by giving journalists advanced (albeit bogus) notice that they're being banned. The truth of the matter is that it's viewpoint discrimination violative of 1A.

Over and over, 3M scientist Kris Hansen found PFOS, a chemical her company made, in people’s blood. Her bosses doubted her work: How could it be everywhere? Finally, she found one batch of blood samples without PFOS — but with it came a devastating revelation. Full episode: propub.li/4gVmPRQ

I regret to inform you that in this week’s newsletter, I have been forced to take Trump’s stupid goddamn ballroom seriously. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"This incurious and inexperienced person, armed with little more than a threadbare resume and no shortage of hubris, has been vaulted into a Senate vacancy and doesn’t seem to have any qualification for it beyond direct nepotism."

ICE can’t be reformed. What voters are we courting by being weak on this issue? Do we have some massive Dem donor that owns concentration camps or something?

“Tuberculosis, a bacterial disease that spreads through the air, is considered such a serious public health risk that there are state laws specifically related to controlling it. The law makes clear that 'investigation is not optional'...” coloradosun.com/2026/08/07/a...

Must repair SCOTUS. That starts with flipping the House and the Senate in November. Then electing a Democrat in 2028. Then carving out or ending the senate filibuster. Then adding four fair judges not beholden to billionaires to the court. But it starts in November. VOTE.

If you want members of this regime to be held legally accountable, you have to add four seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. Otherwise, they'll protect their fellow oligarchs like they did in 2023. 1. Win the senate 2. Block nominees 3. Elect a dem POTUS 4. Congress adds 4 seats 5. Have nice things

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

I have said repeatedly that Russell Vought should be impeached. Congress appropriates and this is a high crime against its powers under Article I. The most important thing DOGE did was take over the appropriations pipes at Treasury. If you wanted to close USAID and CFPB pass a bill.

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.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

WOW. The Trump admin just barred the FBI from investigating cases where DHS officers get into confrontations with immigrants or citizens. ICE HSI will lead all investigations, yet HSI has no jurisdiction to investigate civil rights violations. The fox is guarding the henhouse.

The look in his eyes as he ends this “joke” is legitimately chilling

🚨BREAKING: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened top election officials in all 50 states and D.C. with criminal charges if they do not comply with the Trump administration’s demands to feed their voter rolls through a flawed federal database. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

All of these cases are basically litmus tests for any Dem nominee. Are immigrants Americans? Do trans Americans deserve human rights? Are corporations superhumans who get to spend endlessly on elections to put whoever they want into power? These are simple questions with simple answers.

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.” (Published Oct. 2025)

The Supreme Court just gave Trump the biggest executive power grab in 90 years. But they still protected the things the Republican justices care about the most: their own money. My latest in @thenation.com

Congress can pass all the laws it wants, but this court will gut them unless Congress strips jurisdiction. We have to add four seats, have 18 year term limits with senior status and staggered appointments, and create actual ethics rules with consequences. Project 2029.

Just finished Alito's dissent in the mail-in voting case and... it's so stupid. Even for him. THERE'S NO LEGAL ARGUMENT. It just rests on a fundamental misunderstanding of the word "choice." It's not surprising that the man who overturned Roe doesn't understand what the word choice means, but Jesus.

I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

The "dirty secret" behind fracking is that most fracking operations are carried out by special-purpose corporations that are established to develop one well. When the well ceases to be profitable, the owners drain all assets and walk away, leaving the public to pay for the expensive clean-up. 1/2

The Supreme Court is utterly diseased. We must flip the senate, block all Trump nominees, kill the filibuster, elect a Dem POTUS, and pass a law adding four seats to remediate the racist cancer on the bench.

Steve Hutkins, a retired New York University professor and a leading advocate for the USPS through savethepostoffice.com, told Democracy Docket that if the agency ultimately moves forward with the proposal, he believes “it will destroy the Postal Service.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

YES. WOW!! Thank you, @petebuttigieg.bsky.social advocating for ADDING SEATS to the Supreme Court because term limits don't go far enough. THIS is what will get my vote in 2028. No good law passed will survive this rogue Supreme Court.
