Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "God damnit. Enough. Democrats, stop being weak. Step up. These guys have been dominant in the narrative. They have been defining the terms of the debate. It's time to get off our damn heels, onto our front toes... It's time for us to all band together."

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

Thank you

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

The United States now playing the role that communist satellite states once played in the UN: sponsoring resolutions in its own name but on behalf of Moscow.

I’m frustrated but not surprised my Republican Senate colleagues disregarded Kash Patel’s parade of red flags to confirm him as FBI director. The Senators demonstrated their loyalty to Trump far outweighs their concern about the rule of law.

Reflection of my eye, in my eye

124. The Thursday Night Massacre(s) Two very different episodes on Thursday provide growing evidence of a Department of Justice that is showing less respect, by the day, for the rule of law.

The rule of law we take for granted was centuries in the making. But it can be destroyed in weeks.

This jumping spider is my eyeliner inspiration from now on 🤩

@susielee.house.gov How do you defend your shameful support for the Laken Riley act? You support a bill that blatantly robs human beings of due process which is protected by the constitution. Expect a fight in 2026. For all your talk, you're just another corporate crony.

Please spread the word and protest with us on President's Day! 3pm, at Bellagio Fountains #fiftyfiftyone #vegas #lasvegas #protest

Republican senators sold out national security to kiss Trump's ass.

So why do we even still have a Congress if Elon and Trump can just disregard them entirely? This shit is treason.

And we have left messages via phone, emails asking about a plan of action? Well? You were elected to lead and be a part of working with the nation to problem solve and do something. Not finger wag, and claim some kind of bipartisan (we can’t meet in the middle with criminals, fascism, and tyranny)

The federal workers have been raising the alarm and begging for help since Thursday and before, this isn’t an unknown issue.
