Ossoff: "I am demanding Rep. Collins cooperate with this federal investigation into the illegal misuse of tax dollars, that he commit to testifying in this matter, and that he explain to Georgia voters and the press why he has refused to answer Qs, refused to testify, stonewalled, and obstructed..."

While Mike Collins has spent his entire time in Congress shitposting and creating memes on X, Ossoff has been working hard every day for his constituents - whether they are Democrats or Republicans.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking: Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office. Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7." @timmiller.bsky.social talked to a veteran who ICE wrongly detained and brutalized

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago. She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again. Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden. Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.   100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.   SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.

notus.orgNearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion PillsThe senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.
