Justice for All - Truthdig To restore the rule of law, Democrats must enforce the constitution with brass knuckles like there’s nothing to lose. Because there isn’t.

As Democrats contemplate a 2026 or 2028 run and wonder what message will most motivate voters, they need to understand that the minimum opening bid is vengeance.

And yes, they're trying to intimidate us but Pritzker's right -- everyone needs to be out in numbers at these events.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

I'm not even a big DSA supporter, I'm sure there's plenty to criticize. But "I was a socialist 70 years ago when I was a kid and now I work for the Manhattan Institute, here's why I think DSA is bad" isn't worth reading.

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

The choice to mention the Governor's attack on Preschool for All without revealing that a broad coalition of hundreds of community members showed up (twice) in droves to defend the program, leaving the governor & a county commissioner to slink away in shame, is a CHOICE. +

Waking up to some careless parachute journalism from the NYT. Really frustrating that @kellen.bsky.social chooses to write that "some top filers" have left Portland due to the Preschool for All tax but neglects to mention that the number of overall filers went up by many thousands in that period.+

“Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.””

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America.

The utter cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

I experienced this last week & refused, saying I had never before been asked to provide the names of any analysts I was planning to quote to get a comment. Spox replied that maybe they were D donors. (In that case, it was 3 retired top military JAG officers.) I guess that was not a weird oneoff.

A frequent co-host of Charlie Kirk’s show.

Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.”

Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

once again, the NYT readerbase is Not Buying It from Ezra Klein. rarely do I see a comment section so poised so vehemently against an op-ed — especially not one from a liberal. Sorry Ezra

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.”

Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

Question:

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad.
Or wasn't, until now.

White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal Groups

Pretty crazy how "America is a legit, no bullshit fascist country" is now a NYT headline.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

With a cacophony of experts calling for 🧠🪱’s firing, let’s never forget Cassidy’s role in all of this.

Dr. Cassidy knew better. And yet, he still chose himself.

The future will judge him. Not just for what he did, but for what he refused to stop.

(Heck, we judge him now.)

So fun fact if you are looking for a legal authority to tell the public your strike was conducted under a few days after you did the strike then the strike was just illegal bsky.app/profile/chri...

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.

It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

Reminder that things are in fact worse quality for more money, that no, Elder Gen Z/millennials/gen x, you're not imagining it, nor should you accept it as "the way things are."
