48 years old. Never uninsured until now. Thatโ€™s someoneโ€™s parent, neighbor, coworker. Living in the richest country on Earth, terrified to get sick. Mexico is covering 130 million people. Canada has done it for years. Republicans keep funding wars instead of our own people. #FundHealthcareNotWar

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

i think the fact that we are STILL in the position that we, the democratic base, have to convince a bunch of recalcitrant senators to do things like ditch the filibuster, admit DC and PR (if they want it) as states, and, most importantly, reform SCOTUS, identifies all my problems with the party

Ossoff: "Iran's ballistic missiles and drones are not destroyed. The regime is intact, along with its ability to throttle the global energy supply. Along with its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which it only assembled after Donald Trump shredded President Obama's Iran deal."

I never thought Iโ€™d see the day. Americans being told by the rest of the world to fight for our own democracy. We should never have gotten here. Keep resisting. โœŠ๐Ÿฝ #SheShed #Voices4Victory

If only the Orange King was the backbone of the right wing movement. Heโ€™s just a front man. The real danger is behind him, obscured from view. ONE of the biggest problems we have is the Supreme Corruption who broke the Constitution to allow him on the ballot. They have lifetime appointments.

Former Prez Joe Biden spoke at the National Bar Association annual gala in Chicago last night. His #CupOfJoe was brimming with the urgency of action. He implored Americans to be โ€œunapologetic in fighting for the future.โ€ You ready? Be relentless in defense of truth and democracy.

I asked a Cuban Democrat in Florida, former Congressman Joe Garcia, how Cubans are taking this news. He said it's making the rounds, but in a muted way. "Remember this is Vichy France," he told me, speaking of Cuban Florida. "This is occupied territory."

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress. But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966โ€”nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who donโ€™t know how to organize a group chat. Itโ€™s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of childrenโ€™s cancer researchโ€ฆ

Replying to @wordswithsteph.bsky.social

I think it's important to note that Prof. Tribe said Donald Trump committed treason. Yes DOJ is fully captured and he has an immunity card from the Roberts court, but let's just take in this fact: Trump committed treason according to one of the most respected constitutional law profs in the nation.

Democracy Died@democracydied.bsky.social

๐Ÿ“ฃ BREAKING NEWS. In a late night appearance on The Last Word, esteemed Professor of Constitutional Law Laurence Tribe unequivocally said: "Donald Trump waged war on the United States, which is a form of treason." Donald Trump committed treason and I will repeat this fact until someone gives a damn.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A ๐Ÿงต to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Today's specials at the shit sandwich cafe: - Trump to dismantle the Department of Education - 240,000 Ukrainians to have their legal status revoked; subject to deportation - 70,000 job cuts planned at the VA - GDP receding. Prices on the rise. Markets in free fall. Trumpcession is inevitable.

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."
