there are only about 20,000 ICE agents in the country and most of them can't fight, aim, or handle light criticism without crashing out. there are hundreds of millions of us. those odds are in our favor if we keep fighting.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

Jason Brunner-Burns in Minneapolis, MN. • Tonight, I stood on the same ground where ICE murdered an observer. Let's be clear: this was not self-defense. It was murder. Just hours later, I found myself at a high school where an NEA member was abducted by ICE. At dismissal time-when students should be worrying about homework, rides home, and seeing their families-ICE carried out a traffic stop directly in front of the school. Our educators did what educators always do: they protected children. Brave NEA members formed a human wall on the sidewalk, shielding their students from the terror of watching someone be taken away by their own government. ICE did not target danger. They targeted a brown educator standing in that line. Without cause. Without questions. They attempted to take him into custody simply for existing. When others tried to intervene-when they dared to say no—ICE responded with handcuffs and violence. Another educator was arrested and abducted. Tear gas was deployed against teachers and students standing on a public sidewalk. Children watched their teachers be attacked. Teachers watched their colleagues disappear. What is happening in this country? And how much more are we willing to accept before we say this is not who we are?

Another first-hand account.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, Ride Or Die Democrats!!

I’m driving through rural Texas, prime insane right wing billboard territory and I just saw a billboard that said “no healthcare for the peasants but a ballroom for the king”

pretty big sentiment shift for the area

A sitting president shouting that people should be jailed for telling the military to follow the law.

You can hear the panic in every capital letter.

Genius

Oh my.

James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists.

Get this man in the Senate.

This should alarm everyone.

On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.”
It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025.

THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

This is good, and should actually make us feel better.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

Wow!

If you were looking at a newspaper (or its website) this morning and didn't see this iconic photo, it was an intentional choice to pander.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

How long does Mike Johnson have to keep the House of Representatives in recess before we start considering the positions abandoned and seeking constitutional remedies to fill them?

The Constitution doesn't make representation in the House optional at the whim of the majority.

Clearest case of dereliction of duty in recent memory: Kristi Norm. Posted on Instagram, goofed off for three days while holding back Search and Rescue crews from FEMA. People died clinging to trees and road signs that could have been saved if she got off her ass.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

Official HHS memo showing someone RIFed yesterday is, um, no longer RIFed. wtf

Many RIFed yesterday are now being unfired(?!)

Unclear if it’s evil or incompetence — but either way, calculated move. Meant to flex power.

Ha. Just shows Republicans are scared.

Dems, @schumer.senate.gov — don’t back down.
They know they’re losing the Republican shutdown shitshow.
We’re winning.

Alan Shore got it.

To sum it up:

Greg Abbott filed a bad court thingy with the TX Supreme Court.

Ken Paxton, Abbott’s AG, told the court that Abbott got the law wrong—but said not to dismiss the case bc he plans to file his own bad court thingy.

Abbott replied: Paxton’s wrong, let me do the bad court thingy plz??

It shouldn’t be this hard to see a doctor. But it is because of the way insurance companies rig our system.

Under Medicare for All, that would end. Healthcare stays private, but health insurance would be public and accessible to all. No premiums, no copays, no deductibles-and no rigging.
