A Liberal Group Returns to Push Democrats to Oppose Trump

I'm on the board of Demand Justice, so I'm not an objective source on this. But... I like this. :)

Just heard on the radio that there are so many spotted lantern flies in the sky above DC that they are showing up on the weather radar and if that is not one of the seven signs, it should be. It’s getting real folks.

When do we get a retraction from The Wall Street Journal for erroneously claiming the assassination was related to trans people? When do we get apologies from every journalist who spread that disinformation?

I have butted heads with Charlie Kirk on almost every policy issue, and my heart is hurt by this news. Taking a human life (or trying to) is vile. Political violence is never acceptable. May Charlie Kirk recover wholly and quickly.

A truthier Truth Social coming to you for one low, low price….and the grift goes on.

John Roberts backs Trump’s power to fire FTC commissioner without cause for now The chief justice’s move is the latest boost to Trump’s power in his second term, continuing a theme from the high court’s Republican-appointed majority.

Filling this under "courts will not save us." Thanks to Rebecca Slaughter for fighting for the rule of law.

…..and Ernst drops out of the race. Crazy.

So many still in the wild yet to be identified and tagged.

As @symonedsanders.bsky.social pointed out on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social tonight, this is more than just dumb luck, mad voters or excellent candidates although all three are true. But there’s been real investment in these local races and they ladder up to big wins. This is how you build power.

Signs are positive for 2026. Latest polling in the 2026 Senate race shows Zach Wahls beating Joni Ernst in a head to head match up winning a full 7% of Trump voters.

Talked on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social tonight about the Iowa special where Caitlyn Drey broke the GOP supermajority in the State Senate in a Trump + 11 district. Far from an anomaly, it’s the fourth special this year in Iowa when the D candidate over performed by double digits.

Joy is getting to break down what’s going on in this crazy world with @symonedsanders.bsky.social on @weeknightmsnbc.bsky.social

Wow: this decision in favor of Media Matters includes all sorts of key details concerning the Trump admin’s coordinated assault on the First Amendment.

For example: Steven Miller “seemingly” ordered Attorneys General in Missouri and Texas to go after MM.

THIS! This is the problem. @zachwahls.bsky.social transparency about perfectly normal experiences growing up should be treated as a superpower not a danger.

Democrats set out to study young men. Here are their findings. A widely mocked project to get under the hood about why Democrats are losing young men has sobering results.

“Democrats can’t win these folks over if they’re not speaking the language that young men are speaking,” says @ilyseh.bsky.social. “Most people I talked to, Democratic operatives, have never heard of Red Pill Fitness, which is just huge online.”

This insane military parade is bad enough on the (lack of) merits but it’s making traffic unbearable for people who need to work downtown. People actually live in this town for chrissakes.

So much respect.

A Nevada politician was convicted of using funds meant to honor a slain officer on plastic surgery. Trump just pardoned her President Trump has issued a full pardon for loyalist Michele Fiore, who paid for her plastic surgery with funds that were meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer.

In another episode of Trump's Patronage and Punishment chronicles, yesterday he pardoned a politican in NV who's a loyal supporter for using money allocated to erect a memorial to a fallen police officer to get plastic surgery for herself.

I find the lack of an operational definition of "working class" fascinating given the amount of political and media real estate supposedly dedicated to addressing the needs and desires of the working class.

It may not feel like a lot but signal boosting and bearing witness is going to be an increasingly important part of our portfolio. The front lines will move and those on them are made safer by the many more watching.

Just set up a live stream to follow along at home: www.facebook.com/watch/live/?...

FBI arrested a sitting Judge this morning for allegedly aiding the avoidance of ICE in her courtroom which a flaming red line that should not be crossed. If you're in the greater Milwaukee area and care about rule of law, head down to bear witness to the hearing happening right now.

This happened.

Wow, righties are really mad at Jordan Peterson for suggesting that there's a Woke Right and a Woke Left.

I love DC bc my kid’s elementary school gets to play the Italian anti fascist anthem Bella Caio on the Millennium stage at the Kennedy Center that the petty tyrant took over. The daily defiance is exhilarating.
