Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting:

Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial

100%

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

Francis Collins is a hero .

In 1989 he discovered the gene for cystic fibrosis. My son at the time was 3 years old and suffered from CF. 🔬

Because of this science my son is 38 now and on a breakthrough drug called Trikafta.

This administration is killing science. ☠️

@marcelias.bsky.social: We "need to tell Republicans that if they take 5 seats, we're going to put 30 seats on the table... When people say to me 'don't bring a knife to a gunfight,' I don't even want to bring a gun to a gunfight. I want to bring missiles to the gunfight."

Pause for three minutes and soak up the grace of this man.

Earlier today, the father of three U.S. Marines, Narciso Barranco, spoke publicly for the first time after being pinned to the ground and savagely punched by ICE agents while they arrested the landscaper outside the IHOP where he worked.

Protecting child predators, firing people without cause, building concentration camps, pushing forth bills to take food from children and the elderly

We can stop it all if we keep our unity: Don't lose hope, help your neighbor, boycott, march, protest, join strikes & walkouts, get into good trouble

I bet they were...👇

Sound up 📢 for this #nokings moment in red Prescott, Arizona. I didn’t have crying at the protest on my bingo card, but this moment was really special. 3000 people came to show their love and their passionate dissent - the energy was incredible! @indivisible.org @indivisprescott.bsky.social

Amazing!

Peaceful protestors rallied at the Colorado Capitol on Tuesday (the media failed to report), they marched through Denver in a second day of anti-ICE protests.

Police deployed chemical munitions as tensions rose in Denver following Trump administration’s crackdown on Los Angeles.

I’d much rather have a country filled with hard working undocumented immigrants than rabid treasonous insurrectionist white supremacist Nazi MAGA fascists, that’s for damn sure.

We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Just please don’t be an asshole.
I post this in honor of all of the LBGTQ+ community, and sending extra love to a family member who lost the love of his life a few months ago, as well as to my transgender granddaughter who I love with all my heart.

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Good advice……

Sure doesn’t look like Newark Mayor Ras Baraka broke into the ICE detention center to me.

Good morning Europe, here is what you missed: Trump and Netanyahu are now mad at each other and Bibi is calling for Israel to “detox” from US security agreements, Qatar bribed Trump with a $400M luxury plane, Russia is still bombing Ukraine and playing “negotiations” games, the Pope backed Ukraine.

I think we all agree with her

A big #Handsoff Social Security & Medicare protest in Tucson today.

Over 1,000 people here with us in the small rural town of Saxapahaw, North Carolina. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
