Today, the US is not a democracy. If you want it to be one, voting is not enough.

“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.” Should be the top story everyday.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.

A dozen is good but too few. If you are an elected Democrat in congress, there are 2 ways to engage with the SOTU with integrity: 1) Don't go. 2) Go and get kicked out, Al Green style. Everything else is wimpy.

At least a dozen Democratic lawmakers will boycott Trump's State of the Union next Tuesday, and instead take part in a rally focused on countering the president’s night of “lies and misplaced priorities.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Look folks, if you want to grow the economy you can either increase productivity or increase the size of the population. The Trump Administration is trying to shrink the population via a campaign of terror against immigrants and killing productivity gains via defunding science and unis.

"In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man and his capricious, destructive governance." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone. You’d need:

My campaign faces its first test: qualifying for the ballot. From my work on gerrymandering, I know that New Jersey politicians play rough. To beat their games, I need at least 1,000 signatures from Democrats and unaffiliated voters in the 12th District. To help, sign up at SamForNJ.org - or DM me!

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

BREAKING: The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

I’m shocked, shocked to find out that DHS lied about another shooting

Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

This graph has been making the rounds and it should. It’s a horror movie in graph form. Will Americans see it, and if so, can we read it? Serious question.

Sigh. Sadly, much of this story is so horrific that people will start to move on from it because it's so disturbing.

We all need to learn these lessons

I’m so old I can remember when Dems pretended to hold the line on ACA subsidies. Those were the days. Now all they’re hoping for is some window dressing on DHS murders and kidnappings. Sorry not ‘now’, after another continuing resolution that will let the murders fade from the front page

Voters say that the cost of health care will alter their election choices, with about three-quarters indicating that health care costs will affect their choices in November, according to a new poll by KFF, a nonpartisan health policy organization.

Last night, in the wake of tragedy, Minnesota voters came together to end the Republican majority in the Minnesota House, electing Democrats Shelley Buck in District 47A and Meg Luger-Nikolai in District 64A.

This is the great weakness of the resistance so far. They attack one city at a time and then move on to the next. It feels like victory if they leave, but they’ll be back. And every city fights it’s own battles

Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov

Minnesota needs impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to the campaign of retribution against our state.

Decades of restrictive housing policies by liberal cities and states are finally coming back to bite us in a major way. If we can't create the conditions for a massive blue state housing construction boom as soon as possible, we're cooked.

FBI historian here. Basically all of the FBI’s greatest scandals across history come from attempts to criminalize First Amendment rights. It never works out well for the bureau and ends a lot of careers.

Michael Feinberg@michael-feinberg.bsky.social

I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights. Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.
