Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Thank you, Maureen! 💙💞🫂

Voter suppression is treason in a government based on the will of the people. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

Codifying Roe, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and holding members of this administration criminally accountable are important goals, but none of it sticks without Supreme Court reform.

EXACTLY 👇 💯%, THIS.......

Minnesota charged white supremacist Jake Lang with felony property damage after he vandalized a “Prosecute ICE” sculpture at the state Capitol. It’s a state case, so no presidential pardon is coming to bail him out this time.

Julie K. Brown won a Pulitzer today for her Epstein reporting. In 2018 she found the victims nobody wanted to find and documented the deal nobody wanted to document. The government called it settled. She called it a story. Everything started with one journalist who wouldn't stop.

Pay attention

Step One: Militarize Our Streets Step Two: Suppress Lawful Dissent Step Three: Immunize Lawlessness Operation Midway Blitz was no accident — the point was to instill fear. The perpetrators must face consequences.

Clarence Thomas used his Supreme Court vote to destroy the Voting Rights Act, allowing white people to discriminate against Black voters. Thomas has dishonored all the Civil Rights legends who made his seat on SCOTUS possible. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

trump gets a $400 million ballroom, a $400 million jet, he's suing the IRS for $10 billion and he's golfing every weekend. You get unaffordable healthcare, high grocery prices, high gas prices, high electricity bills and one piece of chicken.

This piece was originally published this morning for Democracy Docket members only. Democracy Docket made a decision to share it more widely because it felt too timely to keep behind the paywall. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/i-wi...

A win for Virginia voters! A judge rejected a Republican effort to block the state’s voter-approved redistricting amendment, denying the injunction request and leaving the measure in effect.

In addition to going down as the worst president in American history, he’ll also have as his legacy two *apparent* assassination attempts, and perhaps a would-be third if the man who almost broke into Mar-a-Largo hadn’t been caught.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

Two former Israeli prime ministers, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, have joined forces to oust Netanyahu, announcing a merger of their parties into a new one called Together. “We are standing here together for the sake of our children. The state of Israel must change direction,” Lapid said.

Hmmmm ….

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: 🇦🇺 0 🇨🇦 0 🇩🇰 0 🇫🇮 0 🇫🇷 0 🇩🇪 0 🇮🇸 0 🇮🇪 0 🇮🇹 0 🇯🇵 0 🇳🇱 0 🇳🇴 0 🇵🇹 0 🇪🇸 0 🇸🇪 0 🇬🇧 0 🇺🇸 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Excellent. People are pissed. Now do something about it. Have you registered to vote? Do you have all the documentation you need in order to do so? Start planning now. Anger is good. Action is better.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani. Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History. tick...tick...tick

Navy Secretary John Phelan exits administration during Iran war

Happy Earth Day, and let’s hope trump doesn’t scorch our beautiful earth like he has scorched everything else.

Southern Poverty Law Center says it's being 'targeted' by Trump administration

Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

LET THOSE VETERANS GO! 👠

Wondering what it must be like to live in a compassionate country that prioritizes its hungry citizens over buying more bombs and cutting the taxes of billionaires . . .

BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history. The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.

Clears it up a lot.

One could liken this to Kissinger's "madman" theory of statecraft, except with an actual madman.

The US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship today. That's not blockade enforcement. That's a kinetic act on a sovereign vessel. Anyone still calling this a "limited operation" isn't paying attention. #HoldFast

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice is demanding that Wayne County, Michigan turn over its ballots from the 2024 election to investigate voter fraud claims. Michigan’s attorney general and secretary of state have responded saying that’s not going to happen. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

By making Donald Trump their party leader, Republicans told the world that the personal character of a candidate or an elected official does not matter. Democrats must not follow suit. Democrats can both defeat Republicans AND insist that personal character still matters.

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.
