Another Sunday, another network inviting Republicans on to gaslight, and not ending the segment when they don't answer direct questions, and wrapping up by saying they "really appreciate your time." Just disgusting.

Hey ‘Bama: you didn’t like him as a football coach. Don’t vote for him to be your governor. #vote

🤬🤬🤬

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

Always, always, always with these guys it’s the thing that benefits Russia. Trump/Russia, anyone?

The goal of sane people must be to defund Elon Musk and get him as far away from politics as possible. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

The war in Ukraine is the greatest fight for sovereignty and freedom in the 21st century so far. The tragedy of Trump changing sides and backing autocratic Russia instead of democratic Ukraine will go down in history as one of America's biggest foreign policy mistakes ever.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Life on Twitter has, shockingly, become more pleasant over the past 24 hours after this attack on Russia data centers. Hmmm....

What a day, Huntsville. Nearly 2,000 of you showed up yesterday to rally with my friend @staceyabrams and me. Stacey helped turn out the vote in Georgia. We can do it here in Alabama, too.

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The idea behind the UN is that international peace and security are only possible through cooperation among states. AI demands that kind of cooperation, but the world today is not in a cooperative state. My latest in Chicago Tribune www.chicagotribune.com/2026/10/02/c...

Unsurprisingly the Russians are paying off the Americans to take their side in the Russia’s criminal war of aggression. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Senator Schmidt is a dirtbag.

Expand the Supreme Court. If a Democrat doesn't campaign on it, they aren't the leader we need or deserve. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The way to look at this is George bush is trying to help Donald trump retain power on the Hill

Russia-gate was real and is ongoing. Turns out it was/is Russia Russia Russia

The through-line for this billionaire-captured Supreme Court is that its election-related decisions always help Republicans, with the “reasoning” backfilled in to get there.

In Major Leak Hunt, Pentagon Gives Polygraph Tests to Joint Staff Members. A disgrace. Perhaps a 4-star general officer should speak out against Hegseth’s attempt to humiliate and intimidate the military? If they get fired, so be it? Gen. Dan Caine? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/u...

Nepal's horrifying flood was yet another reminder that climate change is no longer a hypothetical threat to our future, but a deadly and ever-present threat that can strike us without warning at virtually any time, anywhere. My latest in @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/04/c...

Aaaaand the time to de-google has arrived. It’ll be tricky, but who wants such a sycophantic company to have all their data anyway??

That nuclear weapons haven't yet destroyed the world was not luck or accident. It was thanks to hard diplomatic work and cooperation. This is the kind of urgency and collective action the world needs on AI now. My latest in @chicagotribune.com (gift link) www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/21/c...

If you had any doubt, yes, the system is broken…

If there is a communist threat clawing its way into the halls of American power, that threat is coming from inside the White House, which is interfering with the free market to strengthen its own centralized power. My latest in @chicagotribune.com (gift link) www.chicagotribune.com/2026/08/07/c...

America's aggression is both ruthless and ineffective. All those who knowingly participate in it should one day be held accountable for these crimes, and all Americans should speak out against it. My latest in Chicago Tribune (gift link) www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/24/c...

Preparing to steal 2026 and 2028 and potentially declare martial law.

When they go low... Take them out by their knees. You owe Lindsey Graham nothing.

If Mitch McConnell is indeed brain-dead, then every one of the senators and congressmen who said they spoke directly to him should be impeached.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Bernie's Correct, As Usual......💙🌊

Ask every Democrat if they support Supreme Court reform, and if they don't, you primary them or support someone who does. That's it. Without the Supreme Court, we get nothing.

The Supreme Court must be reformed or dismantled at this point. It's a rogue body filled with 6 right wing extremists who want to replace democracy with a white Christian King. If a politician doesn't support Court reform then they arent the leaders for this moment. Step aside.

I know from experience how hard it is to leave a career you love and depend on, so I don't say this lightly. But if your job requires you to implement illegal or immoral policies on this administration's behalf, it's time to go. @chicagotribune.com (gift) www.chicagotribune.com/2026/06/26/o...

Pete Hegseth is removing or blocking the promotions of all military officers who he has determined would not participate in an illegal pro-Trump self-coup (auto-coup) in 2028. You can believe me now or believe me in 2028. Either way, stop seeing what Hegseth is doing as random.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

A Ukrainian army Poland blames for killing up to 100,000 Poles in 1943 is now a national hero in Kyiv. Ukraine honored it; Poland revoked Zelenskyy's top medal; and Ukrainian kids are being beaten on Warsaw streets.

🔴 this is what america should be looking like ✊🏽🇺🇲✊🏻🦋🕊💖

Elias: The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

My new one @slate.com: Why is John Roberts in a Rush All of a Sudden? slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

“It’s been stunning to see the speed with which Southern states have initiated redistricting before the midterms to disenfranchise Black voters…Stunning—and saddening—because it vividly exposes the deep strain of racism that continues to poison America.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-contin...
