🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Don't think I've ever been as terrified in all the Trump security crises. As @pkrugman.bsky.social said, "It’s the most astonishing, awful thing that I’ve ever seen, and we’ve all seen a lot of awful things." Mainly as cope, and to teach it, I keep asking why. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

This makes my day! (Of course the scariest question is “who’s next?!?)

"It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and isn't an imminent threat" holy hell that's a hell of a thing for the DNI to say

Rand Paul: “I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.” The entire confirmation hearing in one sentence.

Later this morning, Markwayne Mullin’s confirmation hearings for DHS secretary will begin. The Senate already knows what happens when a dangerous and cruel DHS secretary is confirmed. Tell your senators to vote NO on Mullin and doubling down on ICE’s lawless violence.

There will be a future, I believe, where this ruling is seen as obvious & shameful child abuse. For now, ignorance, fear, & hatred reign within the Supreme 6. SCOTUS blocks law against schools outing transgender students to their parents in CA #WeAreBetterThanThis 🏳️‍⚧️ apnews.com/article/supr...

Congress isn’t powerless to stop Trump’s war with Iran. From immediate oversight, to forcing a vote on a War Powers Resolution, to restricting or cutting off funding for unauthorized hostilities, tell your elected officials to use every lever in their toolbox to put an immediate stop to this war.

“The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.” - President John F Kennedy

The problem for democracy is that it will not survive three more years of such a system. We cannot hold free and fair elections if judges blindly accept the word of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s minions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Minnesotans should be proud that their peaceful civil disobedience efforts worked. But, I warn us all, don’t trust this administration— now is the time to keep up the pressure! Homan says Minnesota immigration crackdown is over, after angry protests and 2 fatal shootings apnews.com/article/minn...

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.   It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger.
