Two of the biggest mistakes in US history:
1. Not treating the defeated Confederates like the Germans treated the defeated Nazis after WWII.
2. Not convicting and removing donald trump from office after January 6th.

Can’t believe we’ve lost Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was a consummate Speaker who led her caucus brilliantly and achieved so much for Minnesota. I’ve campaigned with Melissa throughout the state and was forever impressed by her levelheaded, yet passionate, leadership. (1/2)

I am shaking and crying. This is not the Minnesota you and I grew up in and love. And this is not the country that we grew up in and love. We are in a dark, dark time.

June 14 No kings Over 11 million people protested!

11 MILLION PEOPLE!! 💥💥💥

I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces.

Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into.

(It will also escalate from here.)

Q: Have you uncovered evidence that anything was signed without Biden's knowledge?

TRUMP: I don't think Biden would know

Q: I'm asking if you've uncovered any information

TRUMP: No. But I've uncovered the human mind. I was in a debate with the human mind.

Thanks to Trump, it’s getting harder to afford the basics—groceries, gas and the list goes on.

That’s what happens when leaders protect billionaires and leave working families with the bill.

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.

Every single Republican blocked it.

Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

Fortune 500 company abruptly fires lawyer who helped immigrant family On March 4, Clay Jackson, an attorney in the Dallas area, was at a gas station near his home when the attendant asked if he would help a local immigrant family.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation

Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"

Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The GOP Congressman in Michigan’s 10th district is one of many who are refusing to do town hall meetings with voters.

So my friend @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and I are heading there on Saturday to make sure every American has a chance to hear about the Trump and Musk’s corruption.

Good trouble. Creative, too.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

Imagine complaining that the opposing candidate was "bought and paid for" when your guy *literally* had the richest man in the world handing out checks for a million dollars for your guy.

“Please cancel the contracts. While our improper payments will go up, and fraudsters may compromise identities, no money will go from the public trust to a petulant child,” [Acting Social Security Commissioner Leland] Dudek wrote, referring to Mills.

The US Chamber of Commerce is working overtime on this one. 🇺🇸

Trump's hopeless tariffs confusion, explained by a historian "The president seems to believe he can impose prohibitively high tariffs *and* collect revenue, which you can’t do."

Trump's hopeless tariffs confusion, explained by @rauchway.bsky.social

Today, at the Justice Department's urging, a judge dismissed a serious corruption case against the Mayor of New York.

Not because there was any lack of evidence.

Not because of any misconduct by the prosecutors…

This is exactly (imo) what's happening. Trump's base votes for Trump, and that loyalty doesn't transfer. In a weird role-reversal, many GOP voters are now low-propensity voters. Democrats may have actually figured that they now have an *advantage* in off-years.

США сняли санкции с жены миллиардера Ротенберга - Русская служба The Moscow Times

US lifts sanctions against billionaire Rotenberg's wife
The Rotenberg brothers are part of the inner circle of Putin

Reprehensible and more of Trump's fealty to Putin

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.

The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.

Maybe it's not the judges?

136. Setting the Record Straight on the Anti-Trump Injunctions President Trump and his supporters are mounting increasingly noisy attacks on lower-court judges. But their claims combine shameless hypocrisy with shameful distortions of the facts.

Really excellent @stevevladeck.bsky.social post looking at data on Trump lawsuits.

Bottom line is that judges of all ideological stripes and all sorts of different venues are ruling against Trump at historic levels — because his policies are unusually unlawful www.stevevladeck.com/p/136-settin...

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS.

They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news.

Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED.
