I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself. Got it.
Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.
This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting.
In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old.

Trump doesn’t have to call on House Republican to vote to release the file.
Trump can order Bondi and Patel to release the files. Tomorrow.
The question is, has he already ordered Bondi and Patel to destroy some of the files after they went through them months ago.
Quick quiz -- which president made food stamps into a massive national program?
I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go,
…but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing
So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.
While Americans can’t afford groceries.
Let me just say a simple thing.
Democrats have no obligation to provide the votes to fund the destruction of our democracy.
If you want my vote for a bipartisan budget, there need to be protections to stop Trump's brazen lawlessness.

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”
It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.
Can I make the blindingly obvious observation that now that we know Trump and his crew doctored the Epstein video we can't possibly trust that anything else they release will be all they actually have?
Wouldn't you just assume documents are being *burned and shredded* right now?

CHICAGO IS THE BEST CITY ALL YEAR LONG!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Jerry Garcia’s father was Jose Ramon Garcia, a Spanish immigrant. #GratefulDead
The GOP prioritizes tanning beds over hospital beds.
Forget the shutdown... the only headline that should be on newspapers is "US President says Free Speech is illegal at DOJ Speech!"
And just under that, print Federalist No. 46.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
This presser was a horror show. Ukraine will not have US support going forward, because Trump and Vance are completely lost. Europe will step-up and this war will continue. Trump blew this bigger than any foriegn policy folly in recent history.
Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.
Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.
Bankrupt? Republicans just advanced a budget that will add $4 trillion to the debt! They’re not preventing bankruptcy, they’re expediting it.
The point of the "Let the Democrats leave and vote again when they're not looking" plan was to prevent swing-distinct Republicans from having to take an awful vote that'd hurt them bad next year. Democrats successfully foiled that plan and those Rs all had to vote to cut Medicaid.
Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.
Stanbury: "We will not give them one single vote!"
JD Vance - If you believe any of the multiple federal courts that have ruled against you so far are exceeding their statutory or Constitutional authority, your recourse is to appeal. You don’t get to rage-quit the Republic just because you are losing. That’s tyranny.
Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts.
It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me:

Russ Vought wants to “traumatize the federal workforce.”
He’s a key Project 2025 author.
He’s a big part of the reason why Head Starts, Community Health Centers, and other essential federal programs are having a hard time accessing funding.
I vote HELL NO.
🛑🛑🛑 I cannot stress this enough:
Introducing Elon Musk into commercial aviation safety will be disastrous. Both Tesla & SpaceX have been cited by the US government for numerous safety failings.
Pair that with misleading advertising and you see a total disregard for the safety of the public.
