"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Mere months into 2026, just 50 American billionaires have already pumped a jaw-dropping $433 MILLION into the midterm elections — the overwhelming majority of which has benefitted Republicans. Citizens United is corrupting our system every day.

I too think more networks should run "pro-America content" like handy explainers on the constitutional limitations on the president's powers and the independence of Congress

BARTIROMO: Patriotism is spreading. You announced your Pledge America Campaign, encouraging broadcasters to air more pro-America content, such as starting each day with the Pledge of Allegiance CARR: We're in the midst of a great revival. President Trump is truly the political colossus of our time

The Justice Department says it's now examining whether it wrongly withheld FBI files that contained allegations against Trump in its Epstein files release.

Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act last year for good reason: it’s an anti-voter bill. But now lawmakers have revived it despite overwhelming public opposition. Tell Congress to reject the SAVE Act: bit.ly/4tmVIor

This is a big deal. No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community to fight back against tyranny. We must also continue to boycott ICE's corporate collaborators like Amazon, AT&T, and any other company trying to profit off this misery.

VICTORY: After thousands of locals protested, called, and gave public comments, a company halted the sale of a Virginia warehouse to DHS to be used for immigrant detention. DHS wants to buy 23 warehouses nationwide. Resist all of them.

1/ Federal records show how a dramatic raid in Chicago was facilitated by a landlord who was apparently concerned about immigrants squatting in the building. The government claimed a Venezuelan gang had taken over the apt complex, but that’s not what docs say. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/chic...

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Trump: “To Leonard Leo, Koch, and all of the Countries and Slimeballs that have ripped off the United States of America for years through the use of their own Tariffs, we don't have a Court System that's going to let you destroy our Country any longer.”

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online. Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.

I'm appalled but unfortunately unsurprised to hear that ICE is targeting my neighbors in Rogers Park today. Unidentifiable and unaccountable agents are roaming the streets with their faces covered targeting schools and community centers. It needs to end. Abolish ICE.

Good evening, the President is a fascist who is covering up evidence he sexually abused children and wants to end freedom of the press. The Republican Party is unified behind him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks to “institutional neutrality” an African American law prof couldn’t offer a course with “inequality” in the title, but a self-described white nationalist could win a prize for writing a paper that reads like a Klan manifesto.

America is tragically deceptive right now. You can go out in your local community, and everything looks perfectly normal. It doesn’t look like a fascist dictatorship, it doesn’t feel like a failing democracy, which is why we’re in such trouble. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/americans-...

My family found a home here after fleeing the pogroms in Ukraine. This country accepted us as refugees when we had nothing except the shirts on our backs. We've seen what can happen when we don't speak up about the dangers — it's time to raise the alarm now.
