Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.

JB Pritzker and Barack Obama cheer and hold hands in the air.

Happy birthday, President @barackobama.bsky.social! Thank you for being a shining example of what leadership, compassion, and service should look like.

Me trying desperately to snap during this with my arthritic fingers😂 🫰

This is my great-grandfather. With 8 kids to feed..he lost his farm during the depression. The banker, through connivery sold the farm… personally..and no doubt illegally…for personal profit.

We all have ancestors who came before us…who worked very hard. Remember them..as we fight for freedom.

Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months.

That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw lines—we’re holding the line: on democracy.

NY GOV. KATHY HOCHUL: “If we refuse to fight for our democracy, we’re doomed to lose it… bullies in Texas are not going to intimidate us.”

Nah, I just think he’s an existential threat because he does evil things, defends pedophiles, and turns people like you into drooling douche canoes. And I’ve been defending this country since i was 23 so why stop now.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that an Arkansas law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public school classroom and library is unconstitutional.

The law is blocked for our clients’ school districts while the case continues.

I’m excited to be joining Stephen Colbert tonight on “The Late Show.”

Back in 2013, I joined “The Colbert Report” to discuss how we build an economy that works for the many, not just the few.

This study says California's $20 minimum wage law had negative impacts In-N-Out has had to raise its prices to adjust for the new minimum wage law that raised the minimum wage by $4. Other restaurants laid off employees.

California is a top net Federal taxpayer state along with NY. This article doesn't mention that, and the US press almost never mentions that. They constantly pump out right wing bullshit slamming California.

Need to see Democratic governors across America step up-- like this-- to defend free and fair elections.

Mockler: We are currently building on-the-ground and online movements at the same time so we can beat this gangster regime and stop what they are doing

BIG energy at the MoveOn event in Arizona yesterday.

Opinion | The DHS adds blasphemy to its list of offenses DHS’ attempt to cherry-pick Bible verses to justify its policies is a battle it can’t win.

This isn’t devotion...it’s a hate sermon served with Bible verses by DHS. When government weaponizes faith to expel people and stage mass deportation theater, that's fascism in a cloak. Resist the cruelty. Fight the lie. #AntiFascism

Don Bacon: "From my vantage point here in Nebraska, we're seeing a bit of a troubled economic mess. Right now it's a troubled time. In Nebraska the GDP has decreased by 6% over the last year and it's all about trade...so what I hear about weak jobs numbers, we're seeing that in Nebraska right now"

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "As a state rep, I get paid about $600 a month. That's not much to live off of. Many of my colleagues, including myself, we have day jobs that help us pay the bills. And by breaking quorum, we are leaving those day jobs behind... So this decision was not made lightly."

Gov. Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov “Whatever they are doing will be neutered here in California, and they will pay that price.”

Fight fire with fire🔥
