Tiger By The Tail

Imagine this is you. You’re locked in a cell thousands of miles from home. No one knows where you are. No charges. No trial. No end in sight.

Jeffries: "Every single one of the signatories voted for a House bill that undermined the clean energy economy, noted that it would hurt their own constituents, voted for the bill anyway, and the begged the Senate to make it different. That's not how we should be legislating in the US House."

Merkley: "We're slipping into a strongman state where POTUS has such an acquiescent Republican caucus that they're doing this crazy policy, hurting America, hurting the next generation, bc Trump wants it. You saw the billionaires lined up behind him at the inauguration. That's who he's working for"

the republican Bible, like republican jesus is the exact opposite of the actual Bible and and what Jesus said and did.

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

A massive crowd at Coachella erupted in boos when Senator Bernie Sanders mentioned Donald Trump during a surprise appearance tonight

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Are you better off now than you were 8 weeks ago?

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

So Romania, Serbia, Hungary. People rising up against authoritarianism. Clearly, we’re up soon.

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

A strong statement from the head of Voice of America, who points out that Trump‘s move to silence this important journalistic entity will help the tyrannical governments of Russia, China, Iran, and other repressive states. This is not America First; this is the abandonment of democracy.

Fabulously fighting fascism, with choreo!!!

Tesla Model 3 crushed by an Olmec statue By Mexican sculptor @chavismarmol.bsky.social

Now THAT is courage. If they can, surely you can. Go find a town hall to attend.

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Has anyone mentioned that the republican CR that just passed literally defunds the police? Just wondering.

NEW: Here are the 10 “democratic” senators that voted to sell out veterans, the American people, and their colleagues in the House. Cortez Masto Durbin Fetterman Gillibrand Hassan King Peters Schatz Schumer Shaheen

MAGA is a death cult. That's what we need to keep saying.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

DOJ laser focused on protecting Tesla dealerships as their highest priority. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

@therickwilson.bsky.social has an urgent message for the Dems: SHUT IT DOWN! Watch:

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

This is excellent and worth a watch and share. Tonight has been a turning point in our party. Those that don’t recognize that do not deserve the power voters awarded them.

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

Secession. What they're describing is secession. www.wired.com/story/startu...

Conspicuously, two “MAGA INC. Candlelight Finance Dinner,” events occured before Trump took office, one on December 19, 2024, and one on January 19, the eve of his inauguration.

One by one, every Dem should heckle like Green and be proudly thrown out by him. Not sure why all these Dems showed up tbh. They should have followed @aoc.bsky.social's lead and stayed away.

The Dow is currently down more than 500 points

It'd be great if one by one every Democrat walked out during Trump's rant in front of the joint session of Congress on Tuesday.

here's today's post: "Donald Trump shits the bed on Ukraine, and Republicans roll around in it" — scenes from the aftermath of a foreign policy disaster. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

Seems not ideal 🤷🏻‍♀️

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.
