Hoarding is a mental illness. Even wealth hoarding. Especially wealth hoarding.

His right hand is twice the size of his left

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

the scotus tariff case is going to be interesting because we'll finally learn if the supreme court is more beholden to its authoritarian backers or its corporate benefactors

Sen. Chris Murphy: "The Republican Party...is being led off a cliff by Donald trump."

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown.

Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down.

Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

Sotomayor: your tariffs are raising money that American citizens are paying. They are not incidental; they are exercising an Article I power. "Your argument makes no sense."

To say protesting doesn’t matter is to say going to class or studying is not a prerequisite to graduation.

Protesting is the catalyst to change.

Never forget it.

I love it when the people show up to vote:

“And that turnout is a key part of the story of yesterday’s Democratic wave. As Mamdani said, American voters appear, once again, to be aware of their agency in our democracy.”

It's so important for us to never, ever forget that so many wealthy donors and politicians tried to convince the city and the country that ANDREW CUOMO was the right choice for NYC mayor in 2025.

They really believed that they're powerful enough to polish a turd and make you think it was a diamond.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Tomorrow will be one of the most momentous days of oral argument before SCOTUS of my lifetime. We are fortunate to have Neal Katyal handling the argument for the side calling on them to respect the Constitution's allocation of the power to assess tariffs to Congress.

The Democrats’ Patriotic Vanguard A small group of lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds prefigured Harris’s overtly patriotic campaign.

Abby Spanberger will now be governor of Virginia, Mikie Sherrill governor of NJ. I wrote about both of them, and their friend group, last year

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate!

In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006.

They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents.

The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

If I was a GOP strategist, I’d be pretty worried about diluting my safe +15 districts into a bunch of +5 gerrymandered districts after tonight.

We go to sleep in a better country than we woke up in. Thank you to everyone who worked for these coast-to-coast victories, for this utter repudiation of Trumpism, for economic justice and a country for all of us, not for white supremacy.

It would be very funny if a blue wave in '26 was pushed along by GOP gerrymandering because they got greedy under a historically unpopular president and their slim margins got swamped.

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Democrat Flips the Script: SNAP, Trump’s Lawlessness, and Media Failure Joe Neguse’s sharp rebuke of media bias over SNAP exposes Trump’s lawlessness and a press too timid to name it. Democrat Flips the Script. Watch Politics Done Right T.V. here. Podcasts (Video — Audio)...

“As House Assistant Minority Leader Neguse observed, this “Twilight Zone” of political discourse blames those fighting to uphold the law while excusing those who sabotage governance. His confrontation represented a small but meaningful corrective—a call to intellectual honesty & political courage.”

Love seeing this in the US (Greenville, SC)! This is what we found in Europe too. Pay people a solid, fair wage and eliminate tipping.

JP Morgan warned US of $1bn in Epstein transactions possibly related to human trafficking Bank says it alerted US of ‘suspicious’ transactions just weeks after paedophile was found dead in New York jail cell

“It does not appear that anyone in the government or law enforcement acted on those SARs for years.”

Just asking a question: is Timothy Mellon (of $130 million “gift” to meet military payroll) in the Epstein files?

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The fixation the administration has on harming this man and his family is SICK, GROTESQUE, and IMMORAL.

This is serious. This is why we fight. This is why the Dems cannot back down
