NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump and the Republican Party are redistricting and gerrymandering to rig upcoming elections and weaken democracy. I exposes how these maps threaten fair representation and explain how Democrats and voters can still fight back for fair maps. youtu.be/cEKnZlsFkFE

NEW EPISODE: Once again Trump has targeted his political opponents for prosecution. While the legacy media ignores it, too many legal pundits are looking for ways to dismiss or normalize it. I will never accept it and neither should you.
Watch and share. youtu.be/yZR90S5DUKE
RFK Jr must be fired. He’s too deranged and full of himself to leave voluntarily. So it’s vital to convince Trump that keeping Kennedy around drains his own political power and thus his personal wealth by so visibly endangering the health of everyone in the U.S.

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it.
When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him.
Not without a fight.
open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.
KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️
Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
We’ve got to continue the fight, because Justice… Matters!! @glennkirschner.bsky.social

"Europe is at a critical turning point in its history. The American shield is crumbling, Ukraine risks being abandoned, Russia strengthened. Washington has become the court of Nero, a fiery emperor, submissive courtiers and a ketamine-fueled jester in charge of purging the civil service."

Breaking News: the Supreme Court rules against Trump, directing him to unfreeze USAID funds. This is the first real test of whether the Supreme Court will be willing to address Trump's overreach and abuse of power.

They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.
