NEW: Tomorrow, Maryland lawmakers will convene to consider redrawing the state's congressional map in time for the 2028 election. And Democrats have one thing on their mind: countering Republican gerrymanders nationwide by eliminating the state's only GOP-held district. https://demdock.com/4wBr8Zm

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: OPEN LETTER: VETERANS SAY NO WAR ON IRAN. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/open-l...

As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

📽️ NEW: Trump is threatening to bypass Congress entirely to impose voter ID before the 2026 midterms. Marc Elias breaks down Trump's late-night social media rants, what’s driving this voter suppression push and why he's living in a constitutional delusion👇

Homeownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream, but high entry costs have locked too many working families out of the market. Today, I'm launching a down payment assistance program for first-time homebuyers to tear down those financial barriers.

What. The fuck. Trump wants to institutionalize homeless veterans. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

What divides us now is not our political views, but our ethical beliefs. #Truth

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious that House Republicans got outplayed by the Clintons, and now they might out him as a psychopath pedophile on live television.

Finland's President Stubb is a positive global voice for those of us who often feel scared, or angry. He offers a difficult but hopeful view of reality. He's not perfect, but he's definitely worth a listen.

Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files. The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time. How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.

Trump has posted on Truth Social about 65 times in the last 90 minutes, including a video he posted at 8:44 PM PT describing election fraud lies that shows racist AI images of Michelle and Barack Obama as monkeys at the end. I’ve confirmed this is real and watched it myself. 25th Amendment now.

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Do you think the Trump administration will hand over the man who murdered Pretti, along with the evidence? (This wouldn't be because it's the right thing to do, but because he's making Trump look bad.)

Hugh Bonneville started his live ITV London News interview on Downton Abbey by talking about Gaza.

You’ve got to govern for all the people of your state. Whether it’s Chicago or Cairo, we’ve invested in education, infrastructure, and jobs in every part of the state. We need more people who are willing to reach across the aisle and do the right thing when they’re in office.

At @rollingstone.com, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social lays out the stakes of our election. "It turns out there are some billionaires and Wall Street CEOs who can’t stand the idea of a mayor who wants them to pay their fair share to create a city that everyone can afford."

This is the theater where Pete will speak in Seattle on September 6th. 🤩 2,800 seats, and it's definitely going to be a full house. The tickets are going fast: www.stgpresents.org/events/pete-... #Buttigieg

It’s insane that we live in a country where folks can walk around in the street with an AR-15.

Today, I'm proud to sign legislation to keep our children and our communities safe from gun violence. We will now require firearm tracing in all cases through the eTrace platform and strengthen our gun and safety requirements for households with guns.

This is actually a significant & frightening step in the fascist flex. If you support someone targeted by Trump the DOJ will turn its investigatory muscle against you. Faculty Support of George Mason’s President Draws Federal Investigation www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u...

ICE arrests have skyrocketed in recent weeks, breaking up families and spreading fear in our neighborhoods. This is what happens when a Mayor rolls out of the red carpet for authoritarianism. Change cannot come soon enough.

NYC's largest union—the mighty @dc37nyc.bsky.social—stood with us in the primary when few thought victory was possible. Now they're all in for the general election. Together, we'll deliver a city where the people who keep it running can afford it too. From last week's endorsement:

One month ago tonight.
