72% of Americans say they want an enhanced premium tax credit extension. So let's do our jobs. Let's quickly act to extend the ACA tax credits. Let's make a bipartisan effort to show the American people that we hear them.

The next wannabe governor from Florida was spared prison, had his record sealed, and got not one, but three chances at redemption. Now he’s pushing a D.C. crime bill that would deny those same chances to young adults in the District. That screams “opportunities for me, but not for thee.”

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

I’ve read A People’s History of the United States. Very different from what we were taught in school about American history. America was built from massacres, slavery, oppression, hate n greed. American Democracy was an illusion! #america

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Padilla: "What if I was outside a Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house, not dressed in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under Tom Homan? Probably. And it is just wrong."

We’re training a million Americans to lead a local resistance movement. This is how we dramatically ramp up defiance and non-cooperation tactics society-wide, whether it be at corporations, education, the media or neighborhoods.

it's amusing to me to see Trumpers banging on about Bondi orchestrating an Epstein coverup while refusing to devote an extra thought to who she would be trying to protect

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

"The BBC should hang their heads in shame" for not airing the 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' film, said Gary Lineker at a screening in London tonight. Luckily, Zeteo bought the global rights to this hugely important documentary and is airing it here: gazadoctors.film
