Just a matter of time. 😢

My read of @hcrichardson.bsky.social Letter is that one of the ways to reimagine America is to abolish the Electoral College and the Senate.

While SCOTUS has saved Americans from a disastrous MAGA economic policy, they have also saved #PedoFelon47 from an incredibly unpopular one. Things are not always as they seem. SCOTUS is fully corrupt and not on the side of Americans, the rule of law, or the Constitution. Keep fighting.

Rep. Bresnahan ran on banning congressional stock trading, but since being elected, he's made 600+ trades.

Some of those trades have lined up with votes in Congress that rip health care away from his constituents.

He fights for himself, not the working families in #PA08.

NEW: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker sent Trump a letter and an invoice demanding the return of $8.6 billion taken from Illinois families after the Supreme Court ruled Trump’s tariffs are illegal.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Spread this FAR AND WIDE.

She's the only Dem candidate in that race to commit to not taking corp PAC money. She's even returned some that's been identified. That has to be the bar we hold elected officials to or there will always be an Epstein Class.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — the same rate as Mitch McConnell and two points above conservative Rand Paul. This is hardly the profile of someone looking to chart her own path. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

The streaming "replay" option is really great for those kinds of situations if one has access to it. I've been using it a lot. Great to catch all the action.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

The time is long past due. He's being protected by some very powerful people. However, the People are increasingly incensed at the huge disparity between the Epstein Class and everyone else. We won't stand for it. Justice is coming for the Epstein Class and their enablers. So say we all.

Still stunning that we were unable to do the same in this country for all our purported adherence to the rule of law and the Constitution over peddling to the oligarchs and demagogues. Just imagine how different it would be. Justice will come for MAGA and their sycophants.

In @hcrichardson.bsky.social Letter today, she summarizes IL @govpritzker.illinois.gov State of the State speech. “We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.” There are so many more of us on the side of empathy.

That's horrifying.

AIPAC accused of covert campaigning as Democratic support falters Democrats in Illinois have accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the powerful pro-Israel organization, of meddling in competitive primary races.

AIPAC is secretly funnelling millions into three Chicago House races

Democrats say the powerful pro-Israel group is meddling in their races, using shell organizations to secretly crush progressive candidates in Chicago. If you care about the future of the Democratic Party, you should be outraged.

Fair enough. We vehemently disagree on the "rebuilding" but it was super weird to read that post and be nodding. One thing we could really learn from post-WW2 Germany is how to manage how news is disseminated, and how to treat Nazis.

I did not have in my 2026 bingo card that I would agree with Fuentes on anything. Then this happened...

It's the next phase in intimidation. A warm up to polling locations in some of the most contested areas with diverse voting populations.

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

This is what we have to solve for. Everything else follows the money. Look hard at the people you're voting for in primaries and generals. If they accept large private donations from corps or PACs, be very afraid. Consider voting for someone else.

Flanagan is the real deal. Her opponent Angie Craig gets money from Chuck Schumer and corporate PACs. Craig also voted to thank ICE for its service a few months ago(!). I know Minnesotans are going to back the fighter in this race, and you can back her here: secure.actblue.com/donate/pf-web

These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.

Not surprised. Need to purge MAGA.

I mean, at this point, aren't they all pathological liars?
