Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy.

Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections

Q: What's the evidence of that?

LEAVITT: It's just a fact

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I hope someone is writing "12 Hangry Men" about the sandwich guy jury

Our candidates @abigailspanberger.com, @mikiesherrill.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social offer a hopeful vision for the future to improve people's lives.

The Republicans spent the week debating Fuentes, antisemitism, anti Indian & anti-Black hate.

The future will win.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Yes, I have. ✅

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Zohran, the Sickos Guy, and Tim Onion.

One last time: Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

ICE...in its current form...is not a "law enforcement agency" that should exist in any country on earth. Everything about the way they are operating is light-years away from being consistent with what this country is about. We have seen evidence that many of the people employed by ICE are bad news.

Elon Musk backs Cuomo against Zohran Mamdani in NYC mayoral race Musk encouraged NYC voters to back former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani the day before the city's mayoral electi

First Cuomo got Trump's endorsement, now he's got the endorsement of the richest man in the world.

It's clearer than ever that there's only one candidate for NYC Mayor who will actually stand up to the oligarchs: Zohran Mamdani.

Wow. That seals the deal. Cuomo should concede.

This is an excellent idea!!!

A SSRS/CNN poll showing 61% people think Trump has gone too far using the power of the presidency and 57% think he's gone too far deporting immigrants.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Don’t stream fascism. Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE, helping tear families apart. Cancel your subscription and make Spotify listen — the power belongs to the people: indivisible.org/canc...

BREAKING - Hakeem Jeffries:

"The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program."

YEP!

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

A Step Closer to the Release of Volume II of Jack Smith's Final Report The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals tells Judge Cannon to fish or cut bait on the 8 month old motion to release Volume II.

NEW: Are we a step closer to seeing Volume II of Jack Smith's final report? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-step-clo...

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

"exododus"

The New York Post: Come for the shameless propaganda, stay for the embarrassing illiteracy.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

Running gag goes meta as Johnson says he knows nothing about Trump knowing nothing

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
