This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Sadists. Truly sick people. ICE is thoroughly un-American. Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

The government of the United States, which is controlled by Donald Trump in the presidency, Republicans in the Senate, and Republicans in the House, will shut down in a few hours. It is the first shutdown since the last time Trump was president and he shut down the government.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...

It’s so depressing watching the dumbest people in America drive this country into a ditch …. Again

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This is Trump’s America.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today: 1. Your countries all suck. 2. None of you know what you are doing. 3. The US is better at everything. 4. All because of me. 5. I’m right about everything. 6. You should listen to me & do what I say. 7. And give me lots of awards.

"He who controls the media controls the minds of the public." Noam Chomsky Akin to quote by Martin Niemöller: "First they came for the socialists, & I did not speak out…then they came for me" We are in the moment where silence is complicity & looking the other way is bowing to fascism #DoSomething

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell just told the FCC chairman to hire a lawyer and preserve records because they will be held accountable in 2027 when democrats take the House. Oh and he’s wearing a Jimmy Kimmel hat.

As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

They gaslit you all throughout the election.

A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis. The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.

Don’t poke the bear.

Remember when getting caught doing something immoral or illegal would end a politician’s career? That was awesome.

My law firm is currently litigating 50 voting and election cases in 22 states. Here are the states with the most cases: GA, AZ, FL, NC, LA, MT, NV, WI. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight for democracy. Please, pay attention.

D.C. TODAY…

Inviting the former head of the KGB into your presidential limo smacks of sloppy security. It's not as if Putin is a stranger to bugging devices. And what if Trump gets an emergency military/intelligence call? Does he ask his boss, Putin, to stick his fingers in his ears?

It’s amazing that Washington DC can achieve its lowest crime rate in 30 years when 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is experiencing its highest crime rate in history.

Trump wanted the room to reflect his personality; cheap and tacky fit perfectly. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

BREAKING: Trump just missed Gavin Newsom’s ultimatum. California will officially draw new gerrymandered maps in favor of democrats.

We are so past “When they go low, we go high”! It’s time for Dems to stop restraining, to stop with the “decency”, and to stop with the near-paralysis. It’s obviously time to MOVE, to ACT, and to begin to b add Dem seats in blue states. California has a plan in place. Other states must join…

Damn the evil prick ending $500 million in vaccine research while children die of preventable diseases.

Priorities.

Phang: Good for Pritzker, good for Hochul, good for Newsom—good for these other Democratic governors who are saying, “You know what? F off.” We’re not going to let people in these other states—people who are under attack and trying to do the right thing for their constituents—go without support

ICE GOONS draw guns on humanitarian aid workers

Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy

In an era that has returned to tearing down strong, visionary women, I'm going to start posting about women who changed history. I'll start with Grace Hopper, because I'm "standing on her code". #GirlPower

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

Joey did a 180 so hard the Lolita Express had to re-calculate its flight path.

UPDATED: The woman at the center of my reporting speaks out. For the first time, she shares what it felt like to be denied prenatal care simply for being unmarried. wellsrachelm.substack.com/p/pregnant-w... #reprorights #reproductivehealth #tnleg

One of the men @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social and I wrote about is Ysqueibel Yonaiquer Peñaloza Chirinos. He came into the U.S. legally, through the CBP One app. His family has worked tirelessly to secure his release from CECOT. Tonight, they got to hug him again. His mother Ydalys shares this video:

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.

Print. It.
