I'm a subscriber because I find your work invaluable, and yet I don't always read it because I. Just. Can't. So I cannot even imagine what it must be like for you, for historian Heather Cox Richardson and others I so admire. Do whatever you need to do for your well-being. THANK YOU 🙏

If you see something graphic a thing you can do is not instinctively hit repost but take a few seconds and consider if everyone wants to be traumatized by that and choose not to be the person who forces it into their feed non consensually.

To look at this and still argue the rightwing majority was seriously and justifiably concerned about universal injunctions rather than treating Democratic power completely different than the Trump regime because they are opposed to the former and very much aligned with the latter is just silly.

AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Congress is just as confused as you are about the US-Israel-Iran situation.

Hear more from Sen. Mark Warner on today's episode of What Next: link.chtbl.com/WNEp6252025

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.

Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

And you're not alone in that sentiment, @jennifertaub.com

Under Texas’ Abortion Ban, Where a Woman Lives Can Determine Her Risk of Developing Sepsis While the rates of dangerous infections spiked across the state after it banned abortion in 2021, women in Houston fared far worse than those in Dallas, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind ana...

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media.
Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

Blue states should pass laws requiring that tariffs are itemized and clearly shown in purchase receipts, by the way.

Let people know how much they’re paying extra thanks to Donald Trump and the Republican Congress.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

Princeton’s Jake Shapiro and I wrote a few weeks ago about the obvious hidden costs from the widespread breach of trust when the U.S. government abruptly breaks contracts.

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead.

House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead.

We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

This campaign needs you now Boycott Contributions to Senate Democrats Until Chuck Schumer Steps Down

If you’re pissed about Sen. Chuck Schumer caving to Trump and Elon Musk, take the pledge to boycott contributions to all Senate Democrats until they replace him as leader: chng.it/mZgjGv9rS9
