In approval rating polls, the Democratic Party is running against perfection. In actual elections, the only polls that matter, Democrats are running against Republicans. And we're winning! @dncstaffunion.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social

If the French National Assembly passed such a bill in the afternoon, Paris would be burning by nightfall.

So…

The bill passed?

I mean… I’m not surprised…

But like… there are still SO MANY PEOPLE who have absolutely no idea just how fucked we are.

This will have decades-long repercussions.

This isn’t okay.

Ugh.

Although she's been getting most of the blame, Lisa Murkowski didn't pass the Big Disgusting Bill out of the Senate all by her lonesome. She was aided and abetted by 49 fellow senators. While her yes vote was deplorable, it wasn't any more deplorable than the other 49.

JUST IN: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold administration in contempt of court for defying his order to turn around planes, demands new details in order for officials to “purge” their contempt. Details TK

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

They've called him a human trafficker, a violent criminal, a convicted gang member... and they refuse to give you even a SINGLE piece of evidence!

Bondi even suggests here ALL they have is the gang worksheet from 2019 filled out by a disgraced cop caught selling secrets for sex!

Every chance you get, say “fuck you” to authoritarian demands. One of the regime’s tools is making people believe resistance is futile—that acquiescence is the only option. But especially for those with power and privilege, the most basic, necessary act is to say: FUCK YOU.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

oh ok give me a moment while I look for my shocked face 🙄 oh wait that’s not it 🤮dang where is it 😵‍💫oh wait here it is 😱

Ocasio-Cortez raised $9.6 million in three months, smashing her own record It’s a massive haul for the progressive lawmaker who has been barnstorming the country with Bernie Sanders.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled in a massive fundraising haul amid progressive calls for her to launch a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer

One need look no further than FL Gov Ron DeSantis's MAGA restructuring of New College Florida or Project 2025 to understand what's behind Trump's assault on America's world class colleges & universities

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences?

A sociopath.

Revealed: Meat Industry Behind Attacks on Flagship Climate-Friendly Diet Report In January 2019, world-renowned food and nutrition experts published a groundbreaking study. The culmination of two years’ work by 37 authors, the EAT-Lancet report set out to answer the question: how...

This was so obvious from the jump, but good to have proof.

"The document indicates that Red Flag briefed journalists, think tanks, and social media influencers to frame the peer-reviewed research [of EAT-Lancet] as 'radical', 'out of touch' and 'hypocritical'."

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

I appreciate our former President Joe Biden, coming out on behalf of the American people in his first public appearance.

He called out Trump & his Administration for the damage they are doing, blatantly ignoring his campaign pledge & promise to preserve Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid…

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Didn’t get a chance to post this earlier, but there was a huge turnout in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia at the federal courthouse.

From my seat in the jury room, I heard the supporters outside chanting throughout the hearing.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy.

Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

We all know that if the Supreme Court ordered the Trump maladministration to "facilitate" a huge tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, they'd find a way to facilitate a huge tax cut for millionaires and billionaires.
