Never has been, but Christian Nationalism has been for a while…. “The country with the largest Muslim population is Indonesia, with 240M people. It's not governed by Sharia Law. There are 5M Muslims living in the US. Why are we even talking about this? Sharia Law is not a threat to us.”

In trying to figure what's next for this administration, the president, and his cabinet, I believe everyone should read and, memorize Article II, Section 4 pf the United States Constitution.

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

Trump is going after people who default on loans? That's rich, coming from a man who in 2008 failed to repay roughly $287 million in loans tied to his Chicago skyscraper project. He also sought forgiveness from countless other loans for millions of dollars because he couldn't afford to pay them.

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.

Voted early. Voted blue! Get out and vote or mail it in.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

I'm not really invested in SI AI debate. I can be happy using AI to apply to him. Absent Intelligence.

Absolutely 👇

To all my Jewish friends out there in BlueSky land, I wish you L'shanah tovah. May 5787 be a year of health, happiness, peace, and strength for you and yours.

The wonderfully talented Marsh Family has a new parody of Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic." This will piss off Crybaby Caligula yugely. Isn't he moronic? Don't you think?😅

Booker: Okay, but this is the thing that really bothers me. He’s telling me, “I am concerned about Ghislaine Maxwell’s safety” But I am not even going to meet with the victims to get them the justice they deserve. It is so disqualifying for this man to have sat there today and said that to me.

So what changed? The Senate passed the Epstein Transparency Act - unanimously. Now, some of those very same senators are lining up to confirm Todd Blanche — the same man who's been leading the Epstein cover-up. We deserve better.

Jon Ossoff just responded to reports that Trump plans to declare him an “illegitimate” senator because of nonexistent voter fraud. Every word of this is spot on. Spread it everywhere and support Ossoff!!!

The attacks on our elections are coming fast and furious but so are court victories. I created Democracy Docket to help you keep track of what I going on and help you sort it all out. Sign-up now to stay informed. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Dead ppl getting snap Dead ppl voting Now we have a dead guy in the senate Only 1 of those things is true

“Those Trump signs are gone. People feel betrayed.”

I have always appreciated Marc and his team but even more so since he broke down why the voter file is the holy grail of election manipulation for my Substack. Link to my discussion with him in nect skeet 1/

In case you haven't seen this today.

Keep an eye on the heat this week, Illinois. Dangerous temperatures are moving through our entire state starting tomorrow, so stay safe and hydrated. Find your local cooling center and other tips at keepcool.illinois.gov.

We used to have presidents who exhibited character, honesty, integrity, kindness, and empathy. Those are all things that I think all of us long for once again. We were reminded today by Barack Obama that we can have that.

The only three things missing from Rededicate 250 were Christians, Jesus, and the Constitution.

So given that the Islamic Center’s security guard, Amin Abdullah, was murdered today, does MarkWayne think it was a success???

I have decided to observe Shabbat 250. I will reflect on American constitutional freedoms: speech, religion, dissent and protest. In memory of Jewish relatives who were killed in the Holocaust, I will observe Shabbat 250 by reflecting how I can support anti-fascism. forward.com/culture/8249...

Alabama asked the Supreme Court for permission to abandon court-ordered maps and go back to using ones the Court ruled were in violation of the Voting Rights Act, just three years ago, in the wake of Callais. Today, the Supreme Court said yes. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

"The best any economist can do right now is get the order of magnitude right, and my math suggests the Iran war will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, and very possibly trillions. "War is hell. And hell comes with a hefty price tag."

I just finished reading Parable of the Sower and I’ve quit my job to become a full time Octavia Butler booster. One of the best books I’ve ever read, every teen should be reading it right now (yes even the deeply horrific parts)

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

There is no excuse for the stabbings today in Golders Green. No matter how enraged anyone is by Israel's actions, this does not justify attacking random Jews on London's streets. We hope the two victims make a full and speedy recovery

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a betrayal of our basic democratic values as a country—turning back the clock on hard-won civil rights victories. This isn’t just about Louisiana; this will have nationwide impacts on Congressional districting and voter representation for generations.

Today's horrible 6 to 3 Supreme Court decision that greatly weakens the Voting Rights Act just reminds us why Supreme Court reform is desperately needed!!

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Today is both really sad and really marvelous. It is exactly 11,000 Days since the last mass shooting in a UK School. Handguns were banned as had Assault Rifles a decade earlier. With a popultaion 1/5th that of the US. Annually the UK has 800 murders of which 40 are with guns.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court ruled it is illegal for President Trump to unilaterally shut down the southern border for asylum seekers. People fleeing danger have a right to seek safety in the U.S.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

How did Magyar win? A long running grassroots campaign in rural and small town Hungary; a refusal to be distracted by government propaganda; a focus on economic issues and corruption; a central promise to bring back democracy and the rule of law

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

In Springsteen’s words: everybody has a Hungary heart

Together, we helped 21 Austin residents and families of union members complete their citizenship application! Texans work hard, regardless of their status. Now more than ever, immigrant workers are a critical part of our economy and labor movement! ✊🏽
