We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
Three-time Trump voter: I'm very disappointed in how Trump is handling this. He's making up a story. If you've seen the video, she did not try to hit the agent. She was clearly afraid. That doesn't give you the right to shoot and kill someone. Vance and Trump doing a cover-up.#sheshed
As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?
The DNC should release the 2024 autopsy report. Winning off-year elections doesn’t mean we’re back—we’re not. The party still has major problems, and we should welcome uncomfortable conversations, including whatever’s in that report. Not releasing it is a mistake.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
And so the United States goes to war with Iran without so much as a by your leave to the American people.
No statement, other than on social media; no notice to Congress; no serious deliberation.
This is the stuff of autocrats. Disgraceful.
3. The rationale given for a war will change over time, such that actual success or failure in achieving a named objective is less relevant than one might think
- war without congressional approval
- masked thugs abducting and deporting people without due process
- concentration camps on foreign soil
- US military deployed against protesters
- tariffs costing families thousands
- gutting healthcare for millions
… we’re only 152 days in
It's a heavy, but hopeful day❤️ Thank you to all the protesters and PLEASE BE SAFE! LOVE ALL OF YOU ❤️🤗

Wait…the president of the United States threatening to use the powers of his office to go after a private individual for supporting an opposing political party? That sounds pretty darn authoritarian, pretty darn fascist…in otherwards, pretty darn un-American.👇
Tariff hikes mean higher costs for American companies—and they’re not just going to eat all the losses. Some are getting creative.🔥
*CEO adds surcharge to sexual wellness products from China and calls it a “Trump Tariff Surcharge.”
History in the making: Senator Cory Booker just broke the record for the longest standing filibuster in U.S. history—24 hours and 19 minutes and counting. This is what courage & conviction look like. That was a hell of a speech. So very proud of him. This is the way!
Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

Chris Hayes makes more sense than Schumer. Watch this.
