Work assignments? Like what? Some light sex trafficking?

Never forget how progressive Democrats screamed and droned and barked at Biden about canceling student loans with a stroke of a pen instead of securing our voting rights.

Now we will have neither! Thanks! 👍🏽

I do take it personally when people attack Democrats, the only party to ever stand for my basic right to exist, and then hide behind the cowardly excuse of “criticizing power.”

When you present critique of Dems as equally or more important than critique of Republicans, you do MAGA’s work for them.

The contempt they have for the lives of Black people on full display here.

Carol Diann Johnson was born #90yearsagotoday. Working under the name, Diahann Caroll, she became an actress, model, singer, and activist. In 1968, Caroll became the first African-American actress in a starring television role who didn't portray a domestic servant.

Kamala Harris had a clear anti-genocide message.

Black women have always known it was open season on us.

The current white nationalists in charge of the country, just want to make is visibly clear that they're aiming for pre Civil Rights era "justice."

but we need a truth and reconciliation...SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE PUBLIC IS HAPPY ABOUT THIS and about 40% more dont care enough to do anything about it and yall aren't working on those numbers?!?!

Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized pause on weapon shipments to Ukraine, sources say | CNN Politics Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized a pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine last week, according to five sources familiar with the matter, setting off...

Just a few months ago, Pete Hegseth was a TV show host on Fox News. Now he’s pausing U.S. military aid operations without informing the White House.

This is what happens when you let unqualified people run the Pentagon. It’s reckless and dangerous.

ICE abuse and violence isn’t starting from scratch.

ICE officers aren’t new grads from ICE school.

ICE abuses immigrants, because US law enforcement abuses residents.

ICE facilities do human rights abuses because US jails and prisons do.

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair' On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

Dems did very creative thing yesterday, and I haven’t heard a single person talk about it. In the lobby of the Rayburn house office building on Capitol Hill they hosted a science fair for canceled grants where the people who have lost their grants showed the research that will never be finished.

Beto is to Texas as Bernie is to ...

Are we ever going to get to the more affordable part of this administration being in power?

If you don’t do anything else…KEEP REMINDING PEOPLE THAT NOTHING IS CHEAPER AND PRICES HAVE GONE UP.

The coffee I used to get for $9.99/lb at sprouts is now $18.99/lb gas will be $6+/gal this summer, a got damned can of beans is $2.99. They keep telling us inflation is “moderate” but the admin in charge of the agency is known for lying. Our pockets are being picked in broad daylight

Next question "In that case, would you support churches being taxed?".

drove 5 min from where I live where some state lawmakers and local religious leaders were having an emergency press conference. Right in my neighborhood because, get this, some people find it uncouth that the trump admin would want to disappear the Muslim chaplain of cincinnati Children’s hospital

Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show: • Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases. All 21 cases are represented by red squares, indicating that 0% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. • Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS. Key takeaway box below reads: “Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.” Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

I don’t think Karine shanked Joe Biden. I have a feeling she quit the Party because they shanked Joe Biden.

Did you tell your darling AOC this when she went a couple of years ago WHILE a US rep?

Yes, and if the history of military conflict teaches us anything, it's that shooting the people in your own trenches is definitely a winning strategy

Fun fact:

Posting this for absolutely no reason whatsoever —

Trump and Republicans want to give more than $4 trillion in tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy and they’re planning to pay for it by gutting nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repgreglandsman.bsky.social breaks down the math and what it will mean for Americans ⬇️

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to destroy Social Security—and Republicans in Congress are helping them do it. 

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @repespaillat.bsky.social promises we will keep up the fight on behalf of our seniors.

My statement on the ICE arrest in Saratoga Springs today:

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

If ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Bernie Sanders could try holding HHS secretary RFK Jr accountable for any of the things he's doing to dismantle health and human services in this country, that would be great.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨

Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for:

Diane Seltzer for President
Amanda Molina for Treasurer

Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother.

Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

He made a very cogent follow up op-ed to that vote. Had it not gone through Musk could have run roughshod over the judiciary. Read Schumer's comments. Dems had a shitty hand and there was no winning solution. Stop acting like this a Marvel movie. No one's going to turn this around in a day.

He kept the courts open, which was the most important thing under the circumstances. The courts are the only place we’ve been able to fight, since we lost all majorities.
