Raskin: "When historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump."

I won’t let Newsmax run away from Donald Trump. No kidding, they actually tried. Republicans know how deeply unpopular Donald Trump has become because of his horrible policies and the wars that he started, which he promised he would never start. #BlueWave #bluewavein7days

I do not in any way agree with this

When Trump says he doesn't "give a damn" about high gas prices because "we're making a fortune" -- he means it literally: www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

"If DOJ or ICE agents show up claiming emergency powers, election officials should say that none of their instructions will be obeyed without a court order signed by a judge. The “administrative warrants” issued by Homeland Security are not sufficient." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/o...

"On Oct. 21, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen, was tackled by federal agents as he walked to school, which called 911 after he managed to reach campus. He was treated for injuries at a local hospital. His arms were bandaged and his face appeared bruised and swollen..." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Always go to @weissmann.substack.com for the best analysis of how the Trump DOJ has screwed up

Rep. Joaquin Castro: Trump is using taxpayer dollars to enrich his family and friends as Americans struggle with soaring gas prices and the cost of basic goods. “Their money [is] literally being wasted.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMlm...

anyone know Angel? I'm looking to track down the human inside this pink inflatable unicorn I met at No Kings Day one year ago! tysm.

with an admin that treats lack of citizenship as a crime by itself, that sounds like assuming a person is guilty until proven innocent.

The DOJ is not merely compromised, it's now a tool of a wannabe authoritarian regime and is unfit for purpose. If you get through this, you need to rip the DOJ apart and start again.

NEW: DOJ threatened to sue California unless officials sideline ballots from people the feds believe are “likely noncitizens.” But the department cites no clear legal authority for ordering state and local election officials to take those steps. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Kamala Harris: I know this is going to be controversial coming from me in particular, we need to revisit the electoral college. We need to revisit the point of expanding the court. We need to revisit, if they so want, statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.

Trump: "I am pleased to announce my intention to run for a fourth term as President of the United States. I will be doing that. I won three times, now I'm going to do it again.”

OSSOFF: You stated on the 14th day of this conflict that Iran's military was 'destroyed.' Was that an accurate statement -- yes or no? HEGSETH: Iran's ability to challenge the US-- OSSOFF: That's not what I asked. Yes or no? HEGSETH: What the milit--- OSSOFF: Will you answer the question?

Ossoff has really stepped up and done the required work of holding Republicans accountable when it was needed most. He is always fearless, articulate, and accurate.

Measles cases in the U.S. have reached a new 34-year high, with 2,295 cases so far this year, topping last year’s record of 2,286.

🦗 from the "RIGGED" camp on this one! Ken Paxton is a fraud. newrepublic.com/post/212794/...

Jon Ossoff’s new ad is a must-watch. It's clear: Mike Collins chose to protect the powerful, playing politics on Epstein while women and kids paid the price. Sen. Ossoff has built his record confronting predators and the billionaires who shield them.

they decided to grow a spine and use their brains this time!

19 Epstein survivors. One PSA. One message to the Senate: vote no on Blanche. When trafficking survivors say the man running DOJ has failed them, you have to believe them.

One year ago, Trump and Republicans passed the Big Bad Betrayal Bill. Millions have lost health care and food assistance, utility costs have skyrocketed, and thousands of hospitals and nursing homes have shuttered. The American people deserve better.

Billionaire Taylor Swift donates MILLIONS to charities before her wedding. Trillionaire Elon Must *takes* millions away for starving children in Africa and otherwise does *nothing* to help anyone but himself. And I see people on here accusing *her* of being "self-indulgent." Excuse me?

NYT: A study published Wednesday found Russia has suffered 1.4 million troops killed or wounded since invading Ukraine in February 2022. About 450,000 have been killed, four times more than all U.S. combat deaths since World War II combined www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

As I discussed last week, JD Vanceish "conservatives" are beginning to extend their longstanding affinity for the brutal, bloody and imperialist Putin regime to Russia's longstanding partner in mass murder and repression, the theocracy of Iran. 1/

They could probably just cover the algae pool mess with a tarp. They’ll need a big one though. Trump’s chart shows the Reflecting Pool was bigger than skyscrapers.

Oh boy. Trump has now stationed the National Guard around the algae pool. Truly one of the greatest threats facing America today.

Happy National Bald Eagle Day! Flashback to 2015, when Uncle Sam the bald eagle took a swipe at Trump during a photo shoot. Just goes to show eagles are pretty good judges of character.

The most ignorant American president ever. What an international embarrassment.

Positively uplifting, joyous, inspiring, life-and-community affirming, unifying, magical. Everything we had, lost and desperately need to bring back to this nation.

Obama: Shout out to "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look out for their neighbors, and sometimes for strangers, because they knew that was the right thing to do"

My city still inspires me

"President Trump’s preliminary agreement to end the war with Iran … accomplishes none of Israel’s war aims, analysts and officials said, and arguably leaves the country in worse shape on each of them." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/w...

Hell yeah

When you are paying $765 million to companies to get them to cancel clean, renewable energy projects, you are screaming to the world that you are a corrupt fossil fuel lobbyist bitch who does not give a damn about what's best for America. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/c...

Every working parent deserves know their child is safe, cared for, and learning. That is not a luxury. That is a basic promise we should be able to make to every family in Illinois. Affordable childcare is how families get ahead. It is what we are fighting for.

The most expensive taxpayer funded nap #NBAFinals

“Of course, if Trump were a serious person—not a tragic joke—he would have grasped that there was a reason why previous U.S. presidents chose not to go to war with Iran.” www.americaamerica.news/p/confrontin...

The NY Knicks had won 13 games in a row. An epic winning streak. Then Donald Trump showed up.

Maybe a bad sign that the acting Attorney General of the United States declares that he doesn't want to create any evidence of what he is up to . . .

I'll take things Kevin did not mention in his Senate hearings for $300 Ken

Go get ‘em, Rep. Massie.

Treasury Dept. official #BrianMorrissey resigns hours after Drumpf 'anti-weaponization fund' set up www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

An American president sues/extorts his own government, then settles with his own justice department to funnel money to his criminal allies. He will go down in history as the president who came up with forms of corruption never contemplated before.
