The height of hypocrisy is Republicans ranting about protecting girls from transgenders in the bathroom, but when given the chance to protect girls from the pedophile in the White House, they chose to cover it up.

We're in the Orbanization of our media system now. It's happening.

CNN's Brian Stelter drew this assessment from Gábor Scheiring, "who experienced Viktor Orbán's autocratic power plays in Hungary firsthand as a member of the Hungarian parliament." view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/175...

Pretty crazy that Corporate Media spent last 10 years telling US that white dude who: inherited 1/2 $billion from his father, with core policy goals to protect intergenerational wealth & cut basic social services for working families, has gone on a crime spree with no accountability, is a populist.

Crazy.. was just listening to that song on the way home

America, meet your actual AUTOPENS

Who has gone out on a limb to challenge Trump?

Lots of federal district court judges.

Whom did the Supreme Court choose at this moment to rein in (having passed on doing so under Biden)?

Federal district court judges.

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

NEWS Calls to ban all "third world immigration' go viral. Sorry, we're full... June 10, 2025 (a day ago)

Step 1: MAGA wolf warriors say their talking points

Step 2: MAGA regime media —outlet founded by Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie —covers the “viral moment”

Step 3: Repeat, normalize via online crowd, cover on Fox

Step 4: Set policy based on “demand”

This is modern propaganda.

📌BREAKING: Great reporting from military.com

📌This is absolutely obscene. Essentially, taxpayers funded a fascist, MAGA rally at a United States Army base.

📌As a veteran, I am APPALLED by the lack of pushback and defense of America from our goddam military "leadership."

📌WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Trump’s Lie about Dead “White Farmers” Just Got Even More Grotesque That photo he brandished to Cyril Ramaphosa was from the Democratic Republic of Congo—whose refugees the Trump administration is pointedly not welcoming to America.

Unreal: To sustain his lie about a "genocide" of "white farmers" while meeting with the South African president, Trump used a photo of war deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I looked into this a bit more. It's worse than it first appeared. 1/

I'm guessing almost everyone knows somebody who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now Trump & RFK Jr have just canceled a critical study aimed at figuring out what causes that devastating disease. Disgusting.

What's in Trump and Republicans' massive tax and immigration bill?

Here's a breakdown for you.

I'm the econ policy geek in Congress for @washingtonpost.com. I read the whole bill (really, I did) so you don't have to.

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Let's thread it out.... 🧵

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances.

The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship.

What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

Not sure how many were in the series, but I have at least 2

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.

THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.

Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

"It's an extraordinary question to have to ask you, but do you think Donald Trump actually understands how international trade actually works."

Which countries are renegotiating?

Statement from Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm.

"Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

This is a United States Senator

MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities

BANKS: You probably deserved it

MACK: Why did I deserve it?

BANKS: Because you look like a clown

NEW — This AM former HHS staffers confronted Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) about slashing budgets and staff, per video shared with me by Mack Schroeder, a former Budget Analyst for the Office of the Secretary. 

Banks tells Schroeder he "probably deserved" to lose his job "because you seem like a clown."

A fired HHS worker asks a senator about layoffs that are hurting services for “people with disabilities” and asks what he’ll do to help them.

Once the senator is safely behind his staff in the elevator, he ignores the suffering & replies that the worker is a “clown” who “deserved” to be fired.

It's official, the Trump administration has halted or dropped enforcement against over 100 corporations.

These corporate pardons are further proof the president’s true base is billionaire executives and corporate elites.

If Trump is pulling a nominee because he's worried about losing her seat despite her winning it by 24 points last fall -- and despite he himself carrying the district by 20 -- any Democrat still trying to hedge and moderate their opposition to the administration is a friggin' moron.

For the sake of US democracy, it’s time for Chuck Schumer to step down | Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin The problem isn’t just Schumer’s strategy – it’s his perception of reality. He is conducting business as usual while the US burns

Ezra and I wrote for @theguardian.com about why Indivisibles have called for Chuck Schumer to step down as minority leader - and the need for Dems to step up: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump’s Latest Executive Order is a Sham—and a Warning From Marc | The greatest threat to Donald Trump’s authoritarian dream is not the courts — it is free and fair elections.

If, as Mario Cuomo once said, “You campaign in poetry, you govern in prose,” then Trump issues executive orders as performance art. Like many of his others, this order is confused, rhetorical and — in places — nonsensical. It asserts facts that are not true and claims authority he does not possess.

In this Ohio diner, it was a tradition: eggs and waffles, big cup of Folgers, then open the old text message app to read about the administration's secret plans to bomb Yemen. But now the woke mob wants to take all of that away.

The Secret Supreme Court Lobbyists Who Want To Stay Hidden Dark money groups tied to conservative power broker Leonard Leo are trying to kill a rule forcing them to disclose who’s funding their judicial pressure campaigns.

This is what Sen Sheldon Whitehouse calls “The Scheme” - looks like different groups filing briefs, but all are tied to Leonard Leo. And Leo wants to stay hidden behind his stained glass curtain. So far, legacy MSM has obliged him.

You’re a weak, lazy slob who’s easily manipulated by fascists. This will be your one and only term in the Senate, after which you can finally fulfill your destiny and be a carnival geek.
