It’s disgusting. And the juxtaposition between Americans sacrificing themselves on 9/11 to prevent this from happening and Trump just doing it for funsies makes it so much worse.

If you’re tired of seeing your tax dollars go to Argentina while Trump tariffs kill your local businesses and make everything more expensive

…or worried you’ll get snatched off the streets by ICE because you’re not the β€œright” skin color, despite being here legally

MAGAs are so morally broken that they can't even bring themselves to condemn the assassinations of Democratic politicians in their homes. They would rather push an asinine false narrative than be decent human beings.

10:30am:

"Brevard County Sheriff Sheriff Wayne Ivey: "If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at, because we will kill you graveyard dead."

10:49am:


law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings" Today's protests are about reestablishing a government of laws, not unaccountable oligarchs.

β€œWe owe it to ourselves to keep imagining, keep pushing, keep making sure that we have No Kings, in name or just in deed, ever again.”

President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. We talked at length. Much less time was spent talking about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week. He is doing the planned prisoner swaps - large numbers of prisoners are being exchanged, immediately, from both sides. The call lasted approximately 1 hour. He feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end.

It steals my heart when kids grow up with the courage to know they can fight for something.

The woman behind me leads the call & response: show me what democracy looks like.

The girl turns around to see if it's me. She listens to it 3 times & on the 4th time she leads the call herself!

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.

She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Everyone should say it:

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that's not what's interesting about Miller.

It's not brains. It's bile.

There are like five conservative social media apps, including one run by the president of the United States, and it’s weird how we never get a Washington Post editorial about how divisive and unwelcoming they are.

Stephen Miller hunched over in a dark suit, lurking in the shadows, wearing the scowl of a vampire waiting to feed on the blood of a reptile or infant, a sinister gleam on his bulbous, penis-shaped forehead, somehow looking like a Bat-Boy who fell on harder times and came out with an untold malevolence.
