If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov is so beyond outrageous. We simply cannot stand for this. Totally un-American and unacceptable. #NoKings #FightFascism

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests.

The recent antisemitic attack in Boulder is disgraceful and unacceptable. We must all condemn it in the strongest terms and wish a rapid recovery to those injured.

Violence only begets violence, and we must allow no place for it in our politics.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.

It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

E. coli outbreak sickened more than 80 people, but details didn’t surface Food safety inspections are being scaled back and the public was not notified after an investigation into E. coli contamination.

This is beyond terrifying

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and
with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.

I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

Trump uttered 'most important words ever spoken' by a president: conservative ex-judge Conservative former Judge Michael Luttig pointed to the recent interview President Donald Trump did and called it possibly the "most important" statement made by a U.S. president. The comment was part...

“On Monday, Luttig told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace that Trump's comments ‘are perhaps the most important words ever spoken by a president of the United States.’ He added that the story is ‘one of the most important stories of our times.’”

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

We all must stand up every single day.

"If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption.

Breathtaking. Heartbreaking.

We cannot let this stand.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

As outrage mixes with sadness, we feel the magnitude of our loss. Several of you weep at what’s happening. I have wept too. But I urge you not to dwell solely on the loss. We have much to do. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-92d

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Ask yourself if you’d still be supporting what Trump is doing if it was Biden or Obama doing it. If the answer is no, then you don’t support Trump’s policies either. You have blind loyalty to a man who doesn’t deserve your support.
