BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

The Trump administration is psychologically incapable of backing down, which means that I would give it even odds that they attempt this.

The biggest obstacle would be that it will be very hard to find a grand jury in Minneapolis to approve it.

John, wisely, and I should learn from him, NEVER posts about politics. That he is now demonstrates in a small way how extreme things have gotten in MN

Being “disrespectful of law enforcement” is not a crime, and is not something that American citizens should be summarily executed for by masked men in unmarked cars.

Sen. Cantwell at Roadless Rule rally

The Roadless Rule -- which limits clear-cutting and roadbuilding in America’s last remaining pristine forests -- turns 25 today! I've fought for the Rule since 2001 because Washingtonians depend on our 2 million acres to safeguard clean drinking water sources and our $25+billion outdoor rec economy.

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Opposed to Data Centers? The Working Families Party Wants You to Run for Office The influential progressive third party announced Thursday that it was putting out a recruitment call for candidates specifically opposed to data centers.

EXCLUSIVE: the Working Families Party is putting out a recruitment call for people opposed to data centers in their communities to run for local office

the recruitment effort comes just 2 days after Bernie Sanders called for a moratorium on data center construction

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

This is so important. And photos of these postings should find their way into the Chicago History Museum as a permanent exhibition.

People's houses or towns burning down or washing away is bad for prosperity, and so are the 8 million or so annual deaths from fossil-fuel particulates. Hurricane Helene was extremely bad for western North Carolina prosperity. Island nations going underwater, ditto.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.

"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."

Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Congratulations Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard on LANDSLIDE statewide victories in Georgia.

These wins prove the massive grassroots energy powering Georgia Dems and unstoppable turnout juggernaut the Democratic Party of Georgia is building with the leadership of Chair Charlie Bailey.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Election night recap—HOLY SH*T edition. 👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥

"A Stunning Rebuke Of Anti-Trans Politics"—Dems Win Elections Nationwide Despite Anti-Trans Ads As election results poured in on Tuesday night, it became clear that Democrats were winning nationwide against anti-trans opponents.

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics.

From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate.

Solidarity is the only way

Now Trump is using the same word in D.C. To them, “liberation” means clearing streets with troops, rounding up the vulnerable, and calling it freedom. In the United States, we don’t “liberate” our people from the government they themselves elected.

I cannot emphasize this enough: the president's claims about Washington D.C., crime and homelessness are lies. He is lying about crime rates. He is lying about the state of lawlessness. He is lying about who is homeless in D.C., what we know about homelessness and how to end homelessness there.

Uh, there is a lot to discuss. Please join in about an hour and bring your questions. We'll talk about this bullshit bill of course, but also about what comes next. See ya soon!

Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people.

We just need four Republicans to join us.

😬 💰 @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepTimBurchett

Hakeem Jeffries is on the floor standing up for the American people right now. He is standing up for what is right. We just need four House Republicans to stand with him:

Selling out their constituents for autographs and souvenirs.

The 2026 midterms are already on the horizon.

🦬 I hate that I have to call “Republicans remove something terrible from their bill” a silver lining, but that’s where we’re at…

Thank you to everyone who called their Representative and made it clear that public lands are ❌NOT❌ for sale!

Thank you, advocates, Democrats, and a few Republicans still willing to do *something* good when faced with intense push back.

This isn’t just another bill. It’s the Project 2025 playbook written into law. This bill abuses budget reconciliation rules to jam through non-budget items, like education authority rollbacks, environmental deregulation, and civil service purges. Read the fine print. Read the bill!

IMLS Staff Return to Work Thanks to Court Order, Some Grants Restored. The federal workers dedicated to library funding are coming back to work after a ruling from a federal judge in Rhode Island.
