Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

“I would think that a veteran who has seen combat would not respond by firing at teenagers,” the judge said. “There was nothing here that rises to the level of needing to use a firearm.”

“I feel like maybe a couple more months and I won’t have my left hand either. It’s sobering.”

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

@vanhollen.senate.gov Isn't this important?

Told you I'd remake it

Not to mention countless other disgusting offenses. We need to take our democracy back.

Don't fully agree. But an insightful article medium.com/data-science...

The government refuses to answer an interrogatory that asks it to describe steps taken to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release. The government objects “based on the false premise that the United States can or has been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador…”

SCOTUS on 4/10: “The order properly requires the Government to ‘facilitate’ Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador…” DOJ on 4/21: Objects “based on the false premise that the United States can or has been ordered to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador.”

The White House just posted this on X.

This is real. This is happening.

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee. Now we know that was a lie. Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death. America is back in the slave trade.

It's midnight in Washington, and in case you're catching up... So far tonight, Republicans have blocked amendments that would: – Remove tariffs hurting families – Protect disaster response and recovery - Secure Social Security benefits - Preserve federal lands (Thread 🧵)

If the government’s position is that being trafficked to El Salvador by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller amounts to a final and irreversible deprivation of all rights, then it seems to me every federal court has a duty to permanently enjoin the practice as soon as it possibly can.

When disaster strikes – FEMA responds. All over the country, they save lives and help rebuild. Republicans just voted down @padilla.senate.gov’s amendment which would protect the agency from drastic cuts. And victims of disaster everywhere will pay the price.

Also, check for relatives, friends, neighbors and alert them.

“The Titanic hit an iceberg by accident. This is the equivalent of steering the Titantic towards the iceberg,” says CNBC’s Steve Liesman on Trump's tariffs mess.

Lamont: DOGE says we’re just getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse—that’s nonsense. All they’re doing is pushing costs onto the state. When we get cuts, we don’t get any notice. All of a sudden, the portal turns off and they stop paying for daycare, they stop paying for Health Department services..

New in PN: How #TeslaTakedown is bringing the fight to Musk "Part of the reason people are coming out is because they feel it’s having a real impact on Elon’s pocketbook. I imagine that’s something he cares deeply about. It’s working."

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

What. Is. This. Garbage.

Former chair of the Tennessee Libertarian Party 👇🏽

Enjoyed appearing on the inaugural episode of @vagrantjourno.bsky.social's new podcast, Radio Free America, where we basically complained about how bad the media is

Psychotic.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Anyway I just sent a fax to my senator. faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Today was a bad day for our country – and for the Democratic Party. Let's talk about it. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

Meiselas: That’s our message to you from the MeidasTouch Network: Grow a spine. Vote against cloture. Vote against the CR. The American people are with you. Stop this hostile government takeover. Fight for the people.

I cannot emphasize this enough: no one will remember the shutdown even happened when it’s time to vote next year. One way or the other!

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

YES OR NO. Should EVERY Democrat vote against the MAGA budget resolution?

Let’s face it, Schumer has been terrible even before this. It is time for new leadership. He isn’t the person for this moment in history, and the longer he clings to power the worse off we all are.

Indeed.

The main problem of modern politics is how to get the public to notice and respond to events, when our media ecosystem is so fragmented. The solution, we've seen time and again, is CRISIS. Crisis gets everyone paying attention, all at once. stancilculture.substack.com/p/crisis-is-...

I would support this! We need to primary the dinosaurs.

I will just put this out there. If all the senators who are saying they want to block this bill really wanted to badly enough they could force Schumer's hand. This isn't 'if Mike Pence has courage'. A leader doesn't buck the overwhelming majority of his caucus. Doesn't happen.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

AOC: “A tremendous mistake… turns the federal government into a slush fund for Trump & Musk and cedes congressional authority… almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free…”
