we're going to need a long-term plan, with broad political appeal, for ending impunity & holding the trump administration accountable for its crimes, malfeasance & cruelties. not 'tit-for-tat' but an american version of transitional justice. my take in @slate.com 👇

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

is there anyone thinking/writing about the actual mechanics of disentangling the US government from elon musk?

💯 in agreement. They are sick and twisted.

Even America.gov agrees: Donald Trump drove up your gas prices.

The USPS rejected ballot envelopes over "a spacing issue" even AFTER the judge denied their appeal to move forward with their nefarious plan. Every single USPS executive involved in this should be prosecuted and charged with election interference...

I can’t believe we’re now in a news cycle where a sitting President explicitly promised money for everyone’s vote, and the media is just debating the plan as if it’s not a fucking CRIME PUNISHABLE BY YEARS IN PRISON.

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

This tracks. 🎯

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

It’d be nice if the NBA and NBPA spoke out against the two douchebags trying to destroy women’s sports. For once show some support. This would be the time.

No excuses. Cite facts. Don't be pulled into a meaningless debate over law.

💯

So, Trump wants to make the MMR vaccine into three vaccines? Let’s see, three separate trips to the pediatrician, three copays, more missed work, and more missed appointments, leaving kids not fully protected from measles, mumps and rubella. None of it supported by scientific evidence.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

Mitch McConnell would have replaced Mitch McConnell a month ago. Why can’t the Dems get their shit together?

The President's war with Iran is such a fiasco that he's now back to threatening to commit war crimes. This is wrong and must stop. Congress needs to end this war, not rubber stamp a $1.5 trillion military budget.

When ICE is abolished, they can't just ride off into the sunset. They need to be held accountable and prosecuted for their crimes.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

Gov. Beshear should demand proof of life. If his state has lost a senator, its people deserve to know and deserve a replacement. The seat doesn‘t belong to the Republican Party.

July 23, 2025: The White House rolls out a plan to deregulate AI companies. Also, July 23, 2025: Trump buys up to $5 million apiece in stock of Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon & Broadcom. Coincidence? Congress must BAN stock trading by the President, VP, and lawmakers.

People, for the love of God, please stop treating birthright as some kind of sweeping victory. It was 5-4 on the constitutional issue. The dissent laid out a fucking ROADMAP for what Trump should do next. The court always gives Trump multiple bites at the apple WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT?

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

I can’t bring myself to be too celebratory. This should have been a 9-0 slam dunk. My main takeaway is that there are currently 4 votes to undo a longstanding constitutional guarantee that 15 years ago seemed beyond any serious question.

something HASC and/or House Oversight seriously needs to do next year is subpoena any records pertaining to US military orders being given to time strikes with regard to the markets

The fact that stephen miller is saying the US is closed to asylum seekers from Haiti while granting asylum to white South Africans should tell you all you need to know.

Interestingly, the intuition I felt and spoke from -- that embodied knowing -- is precisely the kind of thing AI, for all of its performative anthropomorphic gesturing at the simulacrum of personhood, can't do. Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!

Seth Moulton is rebranding himself as a progressive in his campaign against Ed Markey. But his actual record says otherwise.

Trump brought the NVIDIA CEO on his trip to China to lobby Xi Jinping to buy advanced AI chips, even though it would create a U.S. national security threat. It turns out Trump also bought millions in NVIDIA's stock. The President's corruption is a national security disaster.

Democrats can take this to the electoral bank.

Donald Trump cares more about the price of marble for his gold-encrusted ballroom than he does about the price of gas and groceries SKYROCKETING for American families.

Eric Trump went on FOX to brag about winning ANOTHER multimillion-dollar contract from the Trump administration. I've been sounding the alarm and pushing for answers. Is the Pentagon just a cash machine for Trump’s kids now? This looks like corruption in plain sight.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it. Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

The Trump math ain't mathing.

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

President Trump is threatening war crimes of horrific proportions against civilians. It’s deranged. This madness must stop.

This is not normal. This is not just "Trump being Trump". This is an insane man who is unfit for office, and needs to be removed immediately.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.
