I actually saw my Elders fired from jobs, humiliated, beaten, bombed, murdered, lynched and assassinated for the right to vote. I have a debt to pay. I repay that debt every Election Day when I vote for the candidate of my choice.

Instead of engaging with me and others about the poor conditions, ICE sent in an armored vehicle and a line of armed agents that only poured gasoline on the fire. Civilians were tackled and restrained, and agents fired pepper balls and spray into the crowd. 2/4

Release the Epstein files and release Trumps tax returns🤬🤬🤬

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. Honestly, voting is like taking a bus. If there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk—you take the one going closest to where you want to be. We can vote better than they can cheat. 💙🗳️

Jon Ossoff: I am running in Georgia against two Trump lackeys who, as they race for the president's approval, would be voting for this crooked ballroom and this insurrectionist slush fund.

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

JUST IN: Top-ranking Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin has moved to subpoena acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and other officials involved in the creation of "one of the most brazen acts of public corruption and self-dealing in American history." trib.al/lrUwnqu

FYI

🚨 NEW RECORDS: Do you know how personnel policies are changing at the Department of Homeland Security? From lowering recruitment standards for ICE agents to cutting oversight offices, we’ve documented it all. Explore these changes and more at civilservicearchive.org

David French: [Trump's] version of a deal is that somebody maybe, possibly says something positive, and then he announces a deal, or he just makes it up entirely. It's the Baghdad Bob administration here... Trump is constantly promoting deals that don't exist. Victories that never happened.

We don’t need Waymos, we need universal healthcare.

Alito: We issued Dobbs to return abortion questions to the democratic voters of the states. And now the states whose policies we don’t like are preventing the states whose policies we do like from enforcing their rules nationwide.

Democrats need to understand we’re already in a revolutionary moment. The American republic built in the 60s and 70s is being swept away by Republicans and the Supreme Court. It’s up to us to fight for a liberal democratic future. My latest: www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

@joshtpm.bsky.social makes an irrefutable case for reforming SCOTUS. And it’s but one ingredient in the required recipe Dems must pursue to restore and rejuvenate American democracy. With the Corrupt Supreme Court, It’s Calvinball All the Way Down talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/with-...

On Saturday, we filled the streets across the country to protest our racist, extremist government and its politics of endless war, fear, and destruction. (1/3)

Rep. Derrick Van Orden: "Citizens have the right to peacefully protest, I just wish they knew what they were talking about. There have been no cuts to Medicaid or Medicare." (He's lying -- the "Big Beautiful Bill" cut $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Are Democrats Warming to Reforming the Supreme Court? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/are-d... @joshtpm.bsky.social reminds us that SCOTUS reform is as necessary to stopping Trumpianism as reforming the presidency.

Is the Strait Crisis Driving an Energy Transition? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-th... @joshtpm.bsky.social again nails our current situation with a precise and thoughtful analysis.

It’s critical that we not only expand the Supreme Court but that we do it soon enough that John Roberts gets to see his life’s work erased.

This will be the most consequential midterm election since 1866. Already it has been crazy, with the president and a highly partisan SCOTUS driving partisan gerrymandering with the express purpose of defying the will of voters, for one example. But 1866 was worse. It offers hope for 2026. 1/

@stephenking.bsky.social’s da man, he’s da Ban Man!

We all have days like this

Mothers Jones magazine rocks the house and the SCOTUS!

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

@rbreich.bsky.social: "Bottom line: there’s now a clear blueprint for how to defeat Trump. It’s available to any country, organization or person on which he seeks to impose his will: reject his demands and then use your own asymmetric power – a form of jiujitsu – to turn Trump’s power against him"

Just a reminder that the DOJ is currently violating the law by withholding large portions of the Epstein Files

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

@reptedlieu.bsky.social @kamlager-dove.house.gov @friedman.house.gov @repbradsherman.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Have you called for the impeachment and removal of the president yet? Hiding behind the 25th is not enough. Show your constituents you’re listening.

He's a madman. The world faces no greater threat than Donald Trump. www.thedailybeast.com/how-trump-ju...

AMERICA doesn’t want any part of what Trump is doing @GOP ⁦‪@SenateGOP‬⁩ ⁦‪@GOPHouseOfRep‬⁩ Stop the genocide‼️ #EpsteinFuryIllegalWar @senategop.govpeeps.us @housedemocrats.bsky.social @houserepublicans.bsky.social

Why does Trump want to increase the defense budget by almost 50%? Because he sees it as a payoff to the guys who will help him establish his dictatorship of convenience.

Portraits of Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly tossed into trash bins at Justice Department after Donald Trump fired her. - MS NOW

This is the most metal lawyering move. The ACLU puts up a brilliant American lawyer, Cecillia Wang, to argue the case to the court & subtly demonstrates that, were they to rule against birthright citizenship, the US would be deprived of any future Cecillia Wangs. Literal 'come at me, bro' energy.

Both of Marco Rubio’s parents were born in Cuba. Marco Rubio was born in Miami in 1971, before they became US citizens. He is a US citizen because he was born in the US under birthright citizenship. #Hypocrites
