Where is the daily briefing from the Dem Shadow Cabinet? At this point not making this part of the daily media diet of the country seems negligent, political malpractice and a form of capitulation.

Check this out

They are doing nothing but scooping people up for numbers. That's it.

RIP German artist Käthe Kollwitz, died this day in 1945. She was an "advocate for victims of social injustice, war, and inhumanity."

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Another really bad election day for GOP, Trump and Musk. Dems win two statewide races in Wisconsin, and GOP underperforms by 14 points in each special election in Florida. And of course Senator Booker's beautiful powerful 24 hours.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court rules that the Pennsylvania date requirement for mail-in ballot violates the First and 14th Amendments. Counties cannot reject ballots from counting undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. A HUGE victory for my law firm, our clients DSCC and DCCC and the voters of PA!

How about a fund for the cops who were attacked?

Democrats on the various Senate Committees who will be hosting the members of the Houthi PC Group Chat had better...and I mean this respectfully...FUCKING INCINERATE THEM. Save the bullshit. Burn it down. USE THE WORDS: illegal. treason. leak. reckless. dangerous. compromised. DEMAND THEIR PHONES.

If you attack the Capitol to overturn election results and to overthrow democracy on behalf of a criminal, you’re a hero. If you attack a Tesla dealership, we’ll throw away the key.

Trump and his corrupt administration is more worried about damage to Teslas than they are about violence perpetrated on human beings by the rising tide of white supremacy.

and for all you fellow christians, Jesus didn't go out to find common ground with the Pharisees, the Romans, and the rich. He spoke truth and called us all to a world of love, sharing, and acceptance.

It’s a beautiful thing when someone with so much money does something to help humanity. Sadly, quite rare these days.

maybe before we spend billions on going to Mars, we could actually protect the planet we actually live on. i love how MAGA folks want to cut foreign aid because "we need to take care of our own", but then push for ignoring Earth and going to Mars. Hmmmm.

Who does she think she is? The vice president?

on this day in 1965, called Bloody Sunday, "state and local police used billy clubs, whips, and tear gas to attack hundreds of civil rights activists beginning a march from Selma, Alabama, to the state capitol in Montgomery. The activists were protesting the denial of voting rights...

DOD stops deporting migrants to Gitmo on military transports after WSJ shows what a waste of $$ it is. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

this is absolutely pathetic.

This whole riff on the ages of people on social security is IDENTICAL to the lies he's told about voter rolls and voting fraud.

trump adviser says the veterans trump has fired from jobs in the U.S. government are "perhaps not fit to have a job" www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcn...

Vance mistook Ukraine for the Republican congressional caucus

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

The laws don't apply to the president's friends in corrupt Russian-aligned authoritarian states

happy bday Ukrainian writer/feminist Lesya Ukrainka, b.1871. "Oh joy! A star from heaven fell in my heart!" "My blade shall sever the fetters of iron and echo aloud in the forts of all tyrants." "No, hush! I want to hear your heart speak loud. It talks, but faintly, like the nights in spring."

We dare Mike Johnson to give that answer at a town hall in front of his constituents

Those are brownshirts and concentration camps and the people writing these stories need to start calling them what they are.

A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire." America is under attack right now.

Watch this clip, folks 👇 Does Bannon sound like he's joking about Trump becoming dictator for life? Because he isn't.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Really impressed with how JB Pritzker is taking on Trump. This is the way.

What GOP voters have no concept of this that Trump, Musk, Fox News and others have no respect for them. They lie to them constantly. They assume they have no thinking ability. And my guess is in the backrooms they laugh at the GOP voters and how much they are able to con them.

I wrote a book called "It Was All A Lie" that made the case that Republicans never really believed in their freedom and democracy rhetoric. It was all just marketing slogans. Watch how many call out Russian agent Donald Trump openly siding with Putin. It was all a lie.

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Dark Pence is back.

Once again @oliverdarcy.bsky.social covers the media like no one else. This time, he takes on the scandal surrounding The Washington Post's decisions regarding selling ads. Part of this tale involves a scurrilous ads it ran in October targeting me. www.status.news/p/washington...
