I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.

Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social

At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will - end the Trump Presidency - implicate many other prominent Republicans - destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

Washington Republicans want to raise your health care costs. Millions could see premiums double or triple unless we act. Health care isn’t a game—it’s about families, dignity, and survival. I’m fighting every day to keep care affordable and protect what’s at stake.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released. Stop the shutdown - release the files!

The FBI has severed ties with ADL and Southern Poverty Law Center. The tragedy is that reporting and tracking of domestic hate groups will not be done in affiliatiin with the Gov't. The good news is the data will be clean and available to the public and democratic institutions.

You have to have hope... A brilliant woman and leader. A woman we all should emulate, especially in today's unstable world.

The naturalist Jane Goodall died today at 91. Hope, she argued, is not merely “passive wishful thinking” but a “crucial survival trait.” Revisit a conversation with Goodall, from 2021: nyer.cm/F55JtsS

The consequences of this administration's incompetent decisions are hurting everyday Americans across our nation. (Billionnaires, not so much). Is this what a tiny majority of Americans wanted when they voted?

Congress, not the president, controls the power of the purse. That is not politics. That is Article I of the Constitution. Handing that authority to the executive today sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the checks and balances our system depends on.

Cowards. Shameless, morally bankrupt cowards.

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel is the latest late-night host to be pulled from a major network after the comedian made remarks about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, amid pressure from Donald Trump’s administration. Details: www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

A brave man doing the right thing. Kirk's followers have values many of us do not believe in, yet it's their right, however repugnant it is to us. Any murder is awful, but all lost to violence don't get the high honor of flags at half-mast. Those who advocate hate should never get this high honor.

As a veteran who has dedicated my life to serving our country, I will not vote for a bill that undermines the safety and security of our servicemembers. My full statement on voting against the defense bill:

Not My America. Resist! They are bringing *their* battle to us--it is not ours. It is time to confront them because their offensive maneuvers will only continue to increase. America says NO to Kings, autocrats, grifters...

Deploying the military against Americans.

BRING THE FIGHT TO THEM. NOW, and EVERYTIME.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

We know. What is not happening is getting moderate Republicans to understand the drastic consequences of their failure to do right. That must change. Find the strategies that give them an off-ramp to exit this gross charade that is destroying American democracy.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

"Soft succession"--READ! Where do we go from here as Trump, maga, Project 2025, Christian Nationalists and gazillionnaire elites work to decinstruct America, as Dems hold no legislative authority. A LOT is going on quietly behind the scenes, as we have hoped. Read and stay current.

The ‘soft succession’ of the blue states, is coming. I’m in a red state but while doing my family tree there was a grandfather that left his plow in the field and went to fight for the union. He knew he was on side of right, so do I. #Pinks #Resist cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

Facts matter! Repost widely, over and over again. This lie must not sink into our collective consciousness as truth. Repeat this MORE than he repeats his lie. Democracy and fair voting WILL WIN.

1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this? 2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

We all stand with you. We are finding the brave, the leaders who emerge because they demand their right to speech. They will not be supressed. WE WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED.

ACLU SoCal@aclusocal.bsky.social

We will not allow city councils, school boards or the administration to suppress our freedom of speech. We stand with @chriswarcraft.bsky.social and all others who dare to speak out.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

This is patently false. DHS has authority to question and search people coming into the country at points of entry. But ICE may not detain and question anyone without reasonable suspicion — and certainly not based on their physical appearance alone. This lawlessness must stop.
