If only. Maddeningly the MAGA (in)justices are not paying attention and we can’t trust them to do the imperative and honorable thing.

Americans are sick of skipping doctor’s appointments, rationing medicine & delaying lifesaving surgeries because health care is so expensive.

If we don’t act now, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Dems are fighting to protect our people & reopen the government.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right??

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

What can we do to stop him? 1st don’t worry about 2026/28 elections, yet. Focus on the Nov 2025 elections where there will be 52k races nationwide & turn out is key. 2nd, vote for pro democracy candidates that will shape the 2026/28 elections! Key elections are in CA, ME, NJ, PA & VA! #Elections2025

I joined my colleague, Senator Jeff Merkley, on the floor yesterday to help him explain how democracies die. There isn't one explosive moment - it is a slow consistent attack on opposition political speech until the rules are so rigged, only the regime can win elections.

But he still says “government” instead of the Trump Administration. Release the Epstein Files you MAGA cowards and haters of America.

Federal Judge Jeffrey Cummings has found that ICE agents violated the terms of a consent decree by detaining people without proper warrants. He ruled that as of this week ICE must wear body cams at all times and can face arrest and contempt proceedings if they conduct unlawful, warrantless arrests.

The federal government "jawbones" private companies by pressuring them to silence voices they can’t legally censor themselves, and Big Tech has erased ICE‑watching apps and an ICE-Sighting Chicago Facebook group.

Whoever is the next Democratic presidential candidate should vow to tear down the hideous ballroom and rebuild the Rose Garden, I bet there are a lot of votes in that

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

It’s “Colombia” YOU ABSOLUTE DUMBASS

KARL: “Why haven’t you sworn in Adelita Grijalva?”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: “I’m following the Pelosi precedent with Letlow.”

KARL: “But that was the date Letlow requested.”

SPEAKER JOHNSON: 🤷🏼

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

Hahaha, “they” (MAGA) got nothing but shameless, bald face lies. Why does MAGA hate America?

Trump commuting Santos is not just a curiosity. It’s a feature of corruption… it’s a message… if you like me you can get away with anything. If we accept this as ok our kids will never forgive us

John Fetterman is having a yard sale. Great deals on his soul, compassion and moral compass.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.

“Kids”

DO IT!!

YouTube video by Katie Phang YIKES! DOJ BUSTED in Epstein COVER-UP as GOP STALLS RELEASE

There’s been an active cover-up since the mid-2000s to conceal the Epstein Files.

The damning info from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility’s investigation & report into allegations of professional misconduct by the federal prosecutors, including Alex Acosta.

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

How many scripts are floating around Hollywood right now with "criminals posing as ICE" as the basic premise?

Aaron thanks. MJ is as nauseous as Trump.

The danger of letting a delusional president send troops to American cities The president is operating on outdated information, fantasies, and a lust for power.

The military is being hostage to Trump’s lust for power.

"I can't remember the quotation exactly, but it's like 'when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and wearing the cross.' Mike Johnson's the real embodiment of that." - @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social
