Sheesh. Bondi was a prosecutor for 18 years. I wondered how she would react when a witness was asked a yes or no answer if the witness then started being defensive and filibustering with extraneous BS? Im sure she would have just sat back and let them talk incessantly. Sure she would have

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

@nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com @abcnews4.com @cnn.com 👇👇. This! The fact that you aren’t doing this when any gun event warrants non-stop on-air coverage is indicative how much you all are unwilling to actually be journalists. You are just press cosplayers wanting to preserve your access to power only.

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social

Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by: - All Dem govs - All Dems AGs - Senate and House Dems We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.

And we apologize for his arrogance and ignorance and for the 70+ million voters who didn’t learn the lesson the first time.

“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.” To the people of the world who wonder if there are Americans who grasp how mad he is: There are. We can see it. We are working to mobilize our people to oppose him and his dangerous regime.

@democrats.senate.gov Yes, Sen Schumer… HOW? I’m sick to death of you guys acting as if we are in normal times and not fighting for our very lives and freedoms. GET WITH IT! We are at war with fascism. The GOP knows it. You are just being the Vichy. DO SOMETHING! 😡

David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social

Enough already. The White House via Stephen Miller says Democrats are an "domestic extremist organization" & JD Vance says he wants to crush the Dems. Trump says Dems are radical leftists and it was radical leftists who killed Kirk. How can you have bipartisan negotiations with people like that

Wajahat Ali@wajali.bsky.social

Democratic elected officials, here's some unsolicited advice. People are looking for leadership. Right now. This moment. Someone, anyone, take the konch and forcefully respond to JD Vance and Stephen Miller's promise to declare war against America. Speak up now. Press conference today.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social @msnbcreports.msnbc.com @theweeknightmsnbc.bsky.social I think this is a rather big deal and should be covered nationally. Hoping you agree. I never thought I would have to fight for the rights my grandmother fought for and won. Please cover

Pete Hegseth shares a clip saying women shouldn’t have the right to vote, the 19th Amendment should be “repealed,” and women should “submit” to their husbands: “All of Christ for All of Life”

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social I can’t believe after today’s abomination against Sen Padilla that some Senate Dems voted in favor of an administration bill. STOP acting like it’s politics as usual and get angry and go on offense. Damn. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

Get offended, yes. But do more than that — go on offense. Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

No one ever said democracy and justice are easy. When you hear Fox News and Trump types exclaiming due process is too much of a bother, they’re saying democracy and justice are too much of a bother. Appalling.

Trump: "People are coming to me and talking about tariffs. And a lot of people are asking me if they could have exceptions." (this sort of patronage system is the point of Trump's tariffs)

I'm just genuinely shocked that so many people in positions of power -- people who could take a stand, make a difference, and be remembered for it -- have no interest in being on the right side of history.

This moment in our country's history is depressing, but it's also illuminating. We're finding out, in real time, whom among those in power will hedge their bets, trade complicity for personal preservation, and retreat into cowardice in the hopes they'll be spared. And we will remember their names.

@senatedems25.bsky.social She is EXACTLY correct. The Senators who voted for cloture betrayed those of us who are fighting as hard as we can to stop this would be king/dictator- without either the political power or bully pulpit all of those who voted for this have. SHAME ON YOU! I’M PISSED!

Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price. Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd. Tariffs are a tax. You're paying for them.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Spineless cowards— and all of you who vote for this bill are complicit in destroying our democracy.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social

If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty. Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social 👇👇👇👇👇 Foe Gawd’s sake, show some spine.

Democrats, Trump is increasingly unpopular and he will keep sinking as he destroys the economy. For the love of God, stand up and fight. Don't cave. Be an opposition party and reflect the anger of the majority. Win over people. It won't be as hard as you think. Stop being scared.

Senate Dems it is NOT true a shutdown will close the courts. You need to use your leverage NOW to rein in Musk. Don’t give your vote away especially on BS argument that you need to keep govt open to fund the courts

@senatedem.bsky.social If you don’t start to actually stand up with some clarity and passion to push back HARD against this fascist administration as it destroys our constitution and effective governing, history will record you as a big reason we lost our democracy.
