Fighting for democracy

Crockett: "They have already decided the only way they can win, b/c they have failed policies, is by making sure they can cheat their way, & while they're cheating, the only way they can do that is while they violate the Constitution as well as the Voting Rights Act & make sure it's people of color"

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

The party of small government is currently advocating for federal troops and members of the military to patrol the streets and detain citizens.

And the GOP fluffers on social media are just… fine with that?

Heck yeah! Keep fighting

Breaking: A federal judge just denied DOJ's request to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury materials — and called out Trump officials for misrepresenting their value.

"[T]he public … might conclude that the Government's motion for their unsealing was aimed not at 'transparency' but at diversion."

Mamdani Will Visit Each N.Y.C. Borough to Highlight Trump’s Impact

We need a mayor who will fight for every single New Yorker every single day — not conspire with a demagogue in Washington who attacks our rights and steals from the working class to enrich his billionaire friends.

New Republican redistricting announcement.

Blue state governors better get off their asses NOW, not tomorrow!

So ridiculous. (And so familiar)

NY’s @GovKathyHochul: “All of a sudden this happens when they refuse to release the Epstein files. No one’s buying this… Texas, knock it off, and we ll knock it off. But we’re not gonna sit on the sidelines.”

Gavin Newsom: “We will nullify what happens in Texas. We will pick up five seats with the consent of the people.”

Pritzker and even Hochul are out there throwing punches while these idiots are only hurting their own aspirations

The One Battle Democrats Must Fight...And Why Too Many Still Won’t How our leaders are squandering the tools they already have to stop Trump’s advance.

If we don’t force our leaders to act now, we’ll lose before the next election even matters. Our freedoms won’t be lost to Republicans...they’ll be lost to Democratic inaction.👇

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

Pritzker: "Gov. Abbott is the joke ... at a time when all of us are concerned about the future of democracy, he's literally helping whittle it away and licking the boots of his leader Donald Trump."

Hochul: "This is what I call a legal insurrection ... they know they're going to lose next year. That's the only reason they're engaged in this. It also might be a nice distraction from people asking -- all of the sudden this happens when? When they refuse to release the Epstein files."

TX Rep. Wu: "This is the endgame of where
we are in America"

If you're denying a transgender woman employment because you're afraid it might be seen as a political statement

a) our existence is not political
b) congrats, you're now part of the problem that perpetuates that myth

I wish Cornyn spent this much energy on protecting Texans from our damaging flood waters, rather than hunting down elected officials who are actually serving their constituents.

What can the FBI do in Texas redistricting fight? Not much, experts say. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) has said the FBI granted his request to help bring Democratic lawmakers back to the state. But the bureau appears to have taken few concrete steps.

Sen. John Cornyn said FBI agents had been assigned to help Texas law enforcement track down the more than 50 Democratic lawmakers who left the state amid a messy redistricting fight.

But it's unclear what steps the FBI is taking, if any.

Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons.

It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens.

Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.

Beto O’Rourke Trashes Texas Republicans: ‘These Motherf**kers Are Panicking’ Texas Republicans have called for the arrest of Democrats for leaving the state to deny House Republicans a quorum to gerrymander district lines.

You tell those Motherfuckers, Beto. www.huffpost.com/entry/beto-o...

Narrator: Sadly though, SCOTUS has now exempted the president from the founders’ intent to criminalize bribery.

🚨 The rate at which this is escalating is alarming. These are representatives, not felons. Passing a policy after a fact?

Gavin Newsom: “We will nullify what happens in Texas. We will pick up five seats with the consent of the people.”

Time to fight fire with fire 🔥
