Outgoing Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are reportedly undecided about Todd Blanche's nomination for AG. A single GOP "No" vote in committee this Thursday could tank Blanche's nomination entirely. Call and tell them to reject Blanche: (202) 224-3121

Update: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is calling on Sen. Mitch McConnell to “directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.” Thank you, Governor Beshear!

Mitch McConnell stole two Supreme Court seats. Now ask yourself this: If McConnell were still Leader and a Democratic senator had been missing from public view for more than six weeks, what would he be doing right now? 1/2

Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day. Like the people in this photo—Texans celebrating Juneteenth in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together. Happy Juneteenth.

"As a rule, when responding to a bomb threat, ICE isn’t the first law enforcement agency that comes to mind — what are they going to do, detain the bomb for weeks in squalid conditions before deporting it to a country it’s never been to before?..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

ms.nowThe problem(s) with Mullin’s answer about ICE agents at voting precinctsThe administration keeps confronting opportunities to make clear that it won’t deploy ICE agents to polling places. It also keeps leaving the door wide open.

The celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom belongs just to some. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.

Marilou & I are still on a high from The Presidential Center Opening! A non-stop party with inspirational speeches from Barack & Michelle, followed by a FANtastic 🎶 concert (check out the artists below)! By the time Stevie Wonder performed "Higher Ground" the crowd nearly passed out from sheer joy!🥰

Same office that covered up prosecutor's crimes in the Broadview Six case just covered up a police shooting. Feds said a teen beat up a cop before he's shot. They have clear video evidence showing the kid just squirmed away from him. They hid it from the judge. Judge just set a sanctions hearing.

The level of disdain Spencer Pratt has for the unhoused is disgusting. And if you’re fine with this kind of talk, I don’t want to know you. Pratt: “They’re not homeless. They’re drug addicts. They are choosing to be on the streets because they want to do drugs…They want to have animals to abuse.”

“It’s just burning. I just wanted to try to keep people safe.” ICE fired pepper spray at Senator Andy Kim and protesters outside a detention facility in New Jersey. Not another penny should go to these out-of-control agencies — and when we regain power, we will hold all of these thugs accountable.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Today we remember those who gave their lives for our country. Every drop of blood, since the beginning of the U.S.A., was given to defend EVERY american. The price has always been paid in blood spilled. Our armed forces pay that price willingly, so innocents never do. May they always be honored.

When Trump won the 2024 election I think we all knew he would be on a revenge tour. But to blatantly run a criminal enterprise including trying to set up a slush fund to pay criminals for their terrorist activities is beyond what I could have imagined. The guardrails are off. Beware.

“What is happening now is that all the legislatures in the old Confederacy states are going backwards. They’re the ones jumping backwards, not to do justice but once again reimpose injustice in the voting of Americans and all Alabamans.” @dougjones.bsky.social #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

‼️THE SOUTH WILL NOT BE SILENCED‼️ Today’s march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge is a reminder that voting rights were paid for in blood. And now those same rights are under attack again. Next: Montgomery #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth

Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Thoughts for people living in safe blue cities and states: Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. People bled and died for our right to vote. #AllRoadsLeadToTheSouth 🧵
