Volunteers are taking pics of signs at national parks that tell the full story of American history. In an organized campaign they are capturing displays on the brutality of slavery, imprisonment of Native Americans, rising sea levels and other hard truths that Trump wants to erase.

"Our camera was rolling when a white, odd-looking Avelo plane without any branding landed at Tweed Airport in East Haven in July. Using a hex code unique to each plane, tracking software showed us it’s one of 3 aircraft operated by Avelo for deportations..." www.nbcconnecticut.com/investigatio...

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda. This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Trump threatened to arrest us. Abbott threatened to remove us from office. Paxton threatened to “hunt” us down. Yesterday, we received a bomb threat. But we will not back down.

I wasn't a public speaker; I wasn't a fundraiser. There were so many reasons not to run for office. But I pushed fear aside because the health and safety of South Carolina's kids was too important to sit on the sidelines. Thanks to Michelle Glogovac for having me on Beyond the Campaign!

TX Democrats were joined in Boston this morning by Democrats from more than 37 states to speak up against the MAGA Republicans’ “rig-districting” of their state and on behalf of democracy itself. We say NO to kings and to silencing the voices of the American People by those who must cheat to win!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "Texas Rangers can come to Illinois and enjoy our lakefront, but they're not arresting anybody and taking them away."

Yeah this would probably radicalize me in ways I dont want to fully contemplate if I was in this man's position

This really feels like a defining post of our time

We are already an authoritarian country. We’re not working to prevent it; we’re now working…to get out of it.

Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months. That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw lines—we’re holding the line: on democracy.

It’s all so insane.

It's hard to fathom the extent of the waste, and the suffering that goes with it.

A DOJ investigation had determined that South Carolina officials illegally denied community-based services — required by federal law — to over 1,000 people diagnosed as seriously mentally ill. The lawsuit over these allegations is now on hold. By @coreygjohnson.bsky.social

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab. Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us. It’s time to fight back.

Did mine, your turn now.

NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds. Then the harassment began. Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel. Six credible threats to his life. More than 400 “vile” calls to his chambers—including this voicemail:

I was amazed and pleased to see this.

BREAKING: I am suing the Department of Justice for the training videos instructing FBI personnel to flag mentions of Donald Trump in the Epstein files. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/i-am-suing...

A president's first obligation to the American people is to keep them safe, not sleepless.

So, basically, going forward, we're going to have: ☑️ fake economic numbers ☑️ fake census numbers ☑️ fake public health numbers ☑️ no education numbers at all

@arimelber.bsky.social WTF with that lower third about Kamala joining long list of losing candidates who are selling books? . I turned you off immediately. Nauseating.

As Jerome Powell delivers bad economic news and new polls show him sliding, Donald Trump is politically weaker than he looks—and Dems should act like it. https://trib.al/B4ViH1N

How have you been impacted by the changes we've seen under the current administration? What would you want to say to those in charge? I'm launching a new research initiative to collect and share anonymous stories of the human toll. And I'd be very grateful for your help. tinyurl.com/thehumantoll

I still can’t believe these motherfuckers are in charge of this country’s health and safety infrastructure

NEW: Federal appeals judges demand answer on whether Trump administration is demanding immigration officials conduct 3,000 deportation arrests a day. That could contribute to illegal stops and detentions, a 9th Circuit panel suggested. w/@kyledcheney www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

"Another says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.” Later the officers say: “Goddamn! Woo! Nice!” adding: “Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] $30,000 bonus.”
