International postal services are suspending shipments to the US after an exemption on tariff duties for small packages is set to expire.

It’s the latest example of how President Trump’s sweeping trade policy is impacting US consumers and businesses: https://cnn.it/45NxNU9

Vance says today that Russia has made “significant concessions.” Meanwhile, Lavrov says he won’t even meet with the Ukrainians because Zelensky isn’t a legitimate president. What the Admin says to the American people about Russia’s position is far different from what Russia says.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.

Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.

For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

People don't join the United States armed forces to police American cities.

South Park’s ratings have been setting records. The season 27 premiere delivered 6 million cross-platform viewers and had the show's biggest share in 25 years.

This fascist power grab serves multiple purposes: to silence not merely DC residents but protest itself as DC is where we go to speak out; to stoke fear in order to have people self-censor in word & deed; to advance narrative of lawless, POC-led cities that must be brought to heel.

He spends $200 MILLION of your💰on a ballroom and his family doesn’t deny making billions off his presidency.

As you cheer for him caging brown ice cream men & kids, he invades DC to cover a child sex trafficking ring and trashes the constitution to cling to power.

He laughs.

Masked and armed federal agents made arrests outside of a Los Angeles museum in which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) Thursday was announcing plans to redraw the state’s congressional map to offset the GOP’s redistricting efforts in Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Newsom: "We're doing this in reaction to a president that called the governor of the state of Texas and said 'find me 5 seats' ... we cannot unilaterally disarm ... other blue states need to stand up"

Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party.

I teamed up with @repdexteror.bsky.social to introduce the CLEAR ID Act because ICE shouldn't be allowed to hide behind masks and unmarked cars—especially not on the taxpayer’s dime. (1/2)

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?

Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
