Thank you, Texas Dems, for standing up for democracy.

Playing fair has gotten Democrats nowhere against an administration that keeps rewriting the rules to stay in power and ignores the very people who elected them.

“The threat of arrest is something that should be a red alarm for a lot of folks.”

'disgusted' at Maxwell pardon speculation

It was there and it disappeared. That is NOT coding! That is DELETION!

Maybe it isn't ideal to have a crazy lawyer with no medical background who obviously doesn't look after his own health in charge of looking after ours.

Yeah this would probably radicalize me in ways I dont want to fully contemplate if I was in this man's position

This is too much. Too much.

I would pay good money for a reporter to ask Donald Trump to explain what an mRNA vaccine is and what his administration’s exact objection to it is.

Tells us what you know, Acosta.

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

really curious if there’s a historical record of other examples of “raising river levels to augment the recreational activities of a political leader”

Federal mRNA funding cut is 'most dangerous public health decision' ever, expert says Many public health experts and scientists say they are stunned by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars in federal funding for future vaccine develop...

This interview stopped me cold. The destruction RFK Jr. now appears to be doing is stunning www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

I know nobody under 30 will believe me, but this is the sort of scandal that ended careers, back in the before-times. Congressional hearings, weeks worth of Nightline reports, the whole works. The press _lived_ for this stuff.

Republicans tout the 10 Commandments like "thou shalt not kill". "Shalt' as in shall? Interesting. When it came to the 1st Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", they claim "shall" didn't prohibit it. So are they in favor of killing too?

Lawrence O'Donnell is destroying the pedophile president over his 'deal' with sex trafficker and child rapist Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is now enjoying the semi-glamorous confines of virtual freedom, all bcz she promised to deny Trump is a pedo who dominates the Epstein files.

Shoutout to @govpritzker.illinois.gov for stepping up and giving Texas Dems a place to stay—free of charge—at his Hyatt Hotels. That’s not just hospitality, that’s solidarity in action. When democracy’s under attack, real leaders show up.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "We're here in IL, the land of Lincoln... When he was a state senator in 1840, broke quorum by jumping out of a window in the statehouse. I believe my colleagues and I are participating in a long tradition of standing up to bullies, civil disobedience, of good trouble."

TX House Dems left the state to break quorum & block a vote on redistricting. Republicans have threatened arrests and removal of the absent lawmakers.

Great, now do the Congressional Republicans who left DC to do the exact same thing.
