They are now targeting people who did everything by the book and were literally at the ceremony where they were going to become citizens...

I appreciate you speaking from your experience so compassionately about what happens as we age. It is incredible and sad that this is the situation we are in.

It. Is. Simple.

Republicans can reopen the government and make peopleโ€™s health care more affordable at the same time.

Theyโ€™re choosing not to.

This is their shutdown.

What kind of country do we live in if Trumpโ€™s goons can break and enter,ย destroy your home,ย and detain you for hours for no reason?

Itโ€™s sure as hell not a free one.

Would be great to see today statements denouncing the invasion of Portland by:
- All Dem govs
- All Dems AGs
- Senate and House Dems
We have to denounce, attack, challenge immediately and defend the American people from this dangerous man.

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

The killing of Charlie Kirk is absolutely horrifying.

Thereโ€™s no place for violence in our countryโ€™s politics.

My deepest sympathies to his family.

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.

Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.

This is such an important point.

BREAKING NEWS: How much does democracy cost? $8 billion if youโ€™re Paramount Global and Skydance Media.

@warren.senate.gov and I break down the FCCโ€™s approval of this merger and why it reeks of bribery.

This is law enforcement in
Florida under DeSantis and the Trump administration.
This man was punched in the face, and his car window was smashed for not having his headlights on.

He stayed calm even though his rights were being ignored.

We need to get more eyes on this abuse.

Please pass this on.

โ€œUnder no circumstances should anyone from Trumpโ€™s DOJ be allowed to privately interview Ghislaine Maxwell.
The conflict of interest is glaring.
It stinks of high corruption.โ€

Oh fuck you. Cheap shots for cheap shots.

It wasnโ€™t intended to stop anything (nothing could), but to document it. Timing it later in day for ppl not staring at phone all day was smart; algorithm, vs the flood of others. Lifelong R cannibalizing party he claims to support.

I donโ€™t care who he is

Trump just threatened 50% tariffs on Brazil to protect his Brazilian Boo, failed coup leader and former president Jair Bolsonaro.

That means you could see a 50% price hike on energy prices, fruit, roses, coffee, and more. I broke this Brazilian BS down.

Something I am thinking a lot about is the risk posed by the large concentration of pro-democracy media on Substack.

On the one hand, it facilitates those outlets growth, which is important.

On the other, itโ€™s clear their investors are looking to maximize money and an eventual exit.

Outraged by Trump & Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gutting health care & food assistance to create tax cuts for billionaires? You're not alone.

Join my Tele-Town Hall on Thursday at 6pm PT to learn how it impacts you & your family. Weโ€™ll be joined by former Health & Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra.
