Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Election Day is right around the corner in Colorado! Julie Gonzales is running for the Senate to replace an incumbent who has voted for more Trump nominees than any non-Fetterman Democrat. We need your help to get out the vote for this real Democratic fighter.

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

This is what we should be doing with the thieves in the President's residence.

Thank you! What we need are impassioned lawmakers (that is what people in Congress are supposed to do - make laws). Now if we only had a Supreme Court that believed in laws! In the meantime, Albania ain’t playing with these thieves.

"Pencils down." Donald Trump personally intervened to direct the termination of a criminal probe likely to lead to charges against a coal company controlled by Sen Jim Justice (R-WV), apparently on Justice's request that he do so. Pure corruption. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Vote NO on FISA extensin w/o warrent protections. Bill Pulte out, AND privacy protections. This admin is corrupt, punitive, and dangerous. Giving them warrantless surveillance powers is unacceptable.

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social

Trump said the quiet part out loud… he picked Bill Pulte because he wants him to investigate our elections.   This is all just a totally bogus attempt to justify interfering in the midterms.   We must stop Pulte.   We must reject this plot.

The White House is celebrating America 250 trailer trash style! Fights on the lawn! Lee Greenwood! Vanilla Ice! Fireworks! Dozens of porta potties! A pile of rubble! Hosted by a felon with three baby mamas who periodically gets shot at. America 250 is just an episode of Trailer Park Boys

Freedom of the press should include freedom from facists owning and dismantling our press to win points from the government.

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

NEW at Bolts: For years, Colorado has been ignoring a ballot initiative that was meant to eliminate forced labor in prisons. A judge finally said enough, and ordered the state to stop punishing people for refusing to work (for a mere pennies). On the big CO ruling: boltsmag.org/colorado-rul...

Voters in eight states have changed their constitutions to ban slavery in prison, but nothing has actually changed for incarcerated people. Now a groundbreaking ruling in Colorado should make forced labor a thing of the past. boltsmag.org/colorado-rul...

When Nadia Reed refused to work while incarcerated in Colorado, she was punished. She was put in solitary, not allowed to talk to her family, handcuffed, shackled, & moved to a more punitive part of the prison where she was sexually assaulted. A judge ruled Colorado has to change its policies.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

She's 8 MONTHS PREGNANT & was kidnapped by ICE...or someone! When ANYONE can mask up, dress as ICE & rent a black SUV, what's to stop them from just kidnapping people? In California, we passed a law against masks & it's not being followed. Police aren't protecting us, no one is. #ICELawlessness

Today I joined House Democrats at ICE headquarters in DC to demand Kristi Noem's impeachment & voted NO on funding for DHS. Not a dollar more until DHS ends its violence & abuse of power. Trump's federal agents killed two Americans in broad daylight. We are not backing down.
