Holy shit. A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

Wonderful. Just wonderful. An amazing story of perseverance.

Jesse Jackson was a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and world peace. I have always remembered his moving call for moral clarity at the 1988 DNC.

Since 1982, there’s been only 99 cases of noncitizens voting in our elections. For those of you keeping score at home, that’s an average of 2.3 noncitizens voting per yr. And this is all according to the right-wing Heritage Foundation. Today’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are: Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job. Thanks

🚨BREAKING: A group of civil rights organizations including the NAACP have asked a federal court to protect voters’ personal information after the FBI seized ballots and other election materials during a raid on Fulton County. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Krugman: American consumers and firms pay the tariffs, "the seemingly mild impact on measured inflation (the qualifier “measured” is important) isn’t a mystery once you do the math" paulkrugman.substack.com/p/who-is-pay...

i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

Watching the administration try to tweet their way through this Epstein fallout is really something. Wise man once said: if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

HAHAHA

If we are required to show a passport in order to vote, doesn’t that make passport fees an illegal poll tax?

What, is Trump threatening them with tariffs? thehill.com/homenews/med...

Happy #PitchersAndCatchers report to #SpringTraining Day! Every year (19 so far!) I mark this holiday with an original ⚾️ illustration. This one's about color as a symbol of baseball as a proxy for spring as a metaphor for hope. It's also a little bit about the inherent surrealism of mascots.

“FBI concluded Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men” Bondi and Patel should both resign. Today. What a fucking disgrace. apnews.com/article/jeff...

Everyone in the country remembers who was in the White House when insurrectionists stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to keep Donald Trump in power. Except this man. He is simply too stupid.

Alright folks, gotta stop there for now! Thanks for spending part of your Saturday with me. <3 Reminder: they’re going to try to make voting harder this year. Start planning now. Have all your documents in order. Make sure you’re registered. Make sure your friends are registered, etc.

'I Am Speechless': Historians Sickened as Trump Set to Remove Mention of Racism from Medgar Evers Monument www.commondreams.org/news/medgar-...

Consider: During the Obama administration ~3 million immigrants were deported. That's roughly 375k a year. The ICE budget was ~$6 billion a year. In 2025, ~330k people were deported. The ICE budget was $30 billion. In other words, fewer deportations, but 5x the money spent.

It's clear that I think the GOP has used immigration to enrich themselves & weaponize ignorance/bigotry, but something MAGA doesn't get is that MOST who denounce what Trump has done with ICE are NOT against enforcement of immigration laws. We're against Constitutional violations & open grift.

Every American needs to watch this:

I miss the decency and positive vision.

Measles was eliminated in 2000. Now? Back in 43 states. Not because science failed, but because leaders chose lies over public health. Vaccines work. Misinformation kills. A preventable disease is returning, and accountability matters. Stay informed. Follow @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for more.

In Opinion “A hallmark of the president’s language since he stepped onto the national political stage is that some Americans are just a little more American than others, and that this is a function of race, nationality and, above all, allegiance to Trump,” writes our columnist Jamelle Bouie.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social I thought your followers might find this of interest.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

If I were back in Congress, I would not vote to fund ANY piece of the federal government until those lawless, masked federal thugs are off our streets. No fucking way. And I mean every last one of em. Why? Bcuz what ICE is doing right now is the very thing our Founders revolted against. That’s why.

We've been here before. It didn't work then, it won't work now.

Tulsi Gabbard is withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress, citing executive privilege (which means it involves Trump) and that it's "too classified to give to Congress," which is ridiculous. You can support the lawyers representing the whistleblower here: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports. Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...

EXCELLENT. Appoint a special master. Get your stuff back.

Again, since certain people can't wrap their heads around this pretty simple concept: If you voted for Kamala, you helped Kamala. If you voted for Trump, you helped Trump. If you voted 3rd Party, you helped Trump. If you stayed home, you helped Trump.

Footnote 1: “See also Magna Carta article 39.”

This is...pretty emphatic bsky.app/profile/andy...

This judge does the thing quoting the Declaration of Independence at the Trump regime then adds for good measure: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds & are bereft of human decency."

Overstaying one’s visa or arriving through an incorrect port of entry — these are civil misdemeanors on a part with traffic violations. They do NOT give ICE authority to break doors or windows, assault, detain, or deport undocumented people, or to murder them (or citizens) in the street.
