This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

More than 2.8m people in US identify as trans, including 724,000 youth, data shows Exclusive: largest data analysis of its kind counters Trump’s aggressive efforts to deny trans minors’ existence

It is an incredible testament to our strength that in the face of a relentless political onslaught designed to push transgender people from public life, more and more of us are finding the courage to be ourselves. Every living trans person is a Republican policy failure.

What is wrong with you?!?!

the most notable thing about the Politico/Mamdani/Jeffries piece imo is the framing that Mamdani lost somehow.

Mamdani is a rising star with broad and enthusiastic support. Jeffries needs him a lot more than he needs Jeffries, even if Jeffries doesn’t get that.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

Interesting the entire CT house delegation with the exception of Hayes voted to table.

ScinceSky is making an emergence, though discussions can be tough in this format with often dense unfamiliar concepts. Politics are pretty digestible and emotionally charged enough to feel the need to comment or post about.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Officially Announces Candidacy for Ranking Member of House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett officially announced that she is running to serve as Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.

These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment.

Daily reminder if you’re reading this Chuck, resign!

There’s something about being in a trump presidency GOP senate that’s likely super unappealing to anyone with executive experience. Go from leading a state day to day, to being scared to speak your mind in fear of potential violent retaliation. I don’t think Scott’s the issue here.

Okay, but you should still resign.

Crockett maybe?

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Haha. Good one. You still should resign.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

There's a world where Dems won the House 218-217 in November and Rs now have a working majority bc Grijalva and Turner died.

Sorry to be unsentimental but I just don't respect people who run for office in their 70s after cancer diagnoses. Move on. Spend time with your family.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

In case you're not a scientist, anyone promising we "will know" the cause of autism in September is committing scientific fraud. You cannot know the outcome of a study before it is conducted unless you are fabricating data. We might say "high confidence", but never "will".

I'm pretty bored by the meta "messaging" conversation, but the Dem leadership has a tendency of writing "clever" lines that have no blood in them.

So much of the current AOC appeal is that she says stuff that cuts through and isn't cute.

How much worse can you actually get at messaging?

we're going to need a nuremberg trials for the people responsible for this

You are not the minority leader needed for this moment.
