Every corporate media outlet in America covered the same motion regarding the Trumps and Capital One this weekend. Nobody opened what was underneath it. So—I did.
This is a bigger scandal than we ever thought. Spread the word. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/twelve-day...
ICYMI: I joined all 212 House Democrats in signing a motion to force a vote and permanently block President Trump from using $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars to set up a slush fund. Costs are rising, programs that help people are being cut, war is raging and the President wants to pay Jan 6th criminals
Why are there no more mass mobilization protests?
Because of Ezra Levin and Indivisible.
They came in, infiltrated, and took over the 50501 NoKings Protest and scuttled the mass protests.
Ezra is doing exactly what Trump wants and is a traitor to The Resistance.
The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
I am creating a Petition to investigate Elon Musk and DOGE for election interference, theft of personal Social Security Information, and Illegal tampering of congressional records.
PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender.
AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.
Book rec: this is the most accessible piece of reading about the Constituition I’ve ever encountered. Melissa Murray (@profmmurray.bsky.social) is a law professor with a podcast (is there any other type of law professor these days?), and she certainly has a point of view on the law. But … (1/2)
On May 16th, from 7-9 p.m., I will be doing a poetry reading and book signing at Tangible Books at 3326 S. Halsted in Chicago to celebrate my debut collection, "Clean Margins"! I hope to see as many of you there as possible...and bring a friend!
Anyone else notice this? Mainstream journalists have forgotten their duty to speak truth to power. It is why it is one of the rights written into the Constitution. Political cartoonists are the real and true heroes of the moment.
When Democrats accuse Trump of a crime, it's because he actually did it.
When Trump falsely accuses Democrats of a crime, it's because he actually did it.
A federal judge in Washington will allow a lawsuit to go forward that accuses billionaire Elon Musk of unconstitutionally exercising executive power during his time in the Trump administration last year as a presidential adviser

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America during war. He is unaccountable to the public. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. He cannot offer a coherent justification for what's happening or a plan for what comes next.
When we say "No Kings," this is why.
Pam Bondi swore an oath to the Constitution—not to Trump. She’s breaking it every day she shields his crimes and stonewalls justice.
Congress: Impeach her now.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.
Trump is clearly rattled by American voters. He has repeatedly attempted to cast doubt on election integrity, even as the only notable evidence of voting fraud that emerged tied back to Elon Musk’s own operations.
Here in Illinois, we honor the powerful women who paved the way for our state.
Unlike Trump, we see their strength — and we're proud of it.
On International Women’s Day and every day, we recognize that all of us have a better future when everyone reaches their full potential.
And here we all are at the beginning of WWIII. Interesting how much a distraction it is from Trump's involvement in the biggest sex trafficking ring in the history of the world 🌎 EVER. Release the fully unredacted Trump/Epstein files. NOW.
Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.
What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office
Rep. Dan Goldman on Wednesday accused President Donald Trump of having been credibly accused of sexually assaulting a minor and alleged that the Justice Department is withholding related records from the public. Calling the situation “an outrage and a disgrace,” Goldman urged Attorney General Pam...
Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
Public Service Announcement: The U.S. government is demanding that an AI company loosen its safety protocols so its technology can be used for mass surveillance of U.S. civilians. That is the core dispute now unfolding between the Department of Defense
"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."
If Trump defies the Supreme Court and gets away with it, you know darn well he's not planning to relinquish power. Someone has to put a stop to him . . . you hear that you cowardly Republicans?
This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform.
We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.
The SAVE Act doesn’t have the votes in the Senate, but Trump doesn’t need it to pass to do damage. In tomorrow’s piece, Jay Kuo breaks down how Republicans are using it to undermine trust in our elections ahead of November. Yesterday, Todd Beeton reported from Senate Dems’ digital creators summit.
