Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

NAACP presses court for preliminary injunction against Trump's "mail-in voting" exec order: "Words matter and threats have consequences. Plaintiffs are already suffering the resulting disruption to their voter-registration, voter-assistance & vote-by-mail programs nationwide"

The gold, 22-foot Donald Trump statue definitely isn’t a false idol. You can tell because Trump’s pastor friend said of the new statue at his Doral golf course, “Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf.”

If this survives a SCOTUS challenge, we will all need to say “mahalo“

Katie Pavlich: I support the SCOTUS ruling because I don't believe in drawing districts based on race. That's racist. BTC: You're being purposefully obtuse and your viewers can see it. They know what it means when you crack a Black district and their voting power is diluted. KP: [ends interview]

What would happen if his name wasn’t mentioned on any media networks for 24 hours? Would he have a major meltdown?

If Dems regain power in 2026, they need to push hard for gerrymandering reform (or something like proportional representation). And they also simultaneously will need to redistrict every state they can as hard as they can to pressure some Republicans to consider supporting those reforms.

Eric Trump gets a massive Pentagon contract. Melania gets a movie. Donald Trump gets millions in payouts and crypto. They’re all cashing in. And the corruption is killing our economy.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

At tomorrow's confirmation hearing for Kevin Warsh, Trump's nominee for Fed chair, expect Democrats to ask questions about any interactions between Warsh and Jeffrey Epstein This excerpt is from a just-released report on Warsh from Senate Banking Cmte Democrats

New: Resolutions Jamie Raskin's introducing today highlight Trump's profiteering off the presidency. The resolutions are symbolic, but they highlight a possible path toward impeachment if Democrats retake the House www.huffpost.com/entry/jamie-...

@atrupar.com way to go Arron👏 Aaron Rupar wrote “I am not going to thank Trump’s corrupt buddy (referring to Trump Special Envoy Steve Witkoff) who is cosplaying as secretary of state for reasons that have never been explained, and who also played a key role in this war starting in the first place.”

Enough climate hushing. Democrats need to fight.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. 👇 Fascist architecture is characterized by monumentality, strict symmetry, and the use of noble materials to demonstrate power and strength.

If Trump wants congress to approve any more $$, the $70 million jet along with the Qatar jet should be sold 1st.

The Trump administration is keeping Kristi Noem's $70 million luxury jet for use by cabinet secretaries and Melania Trump. The plane features a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs, and a bar.

MTG yesterday: "You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. ... Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians. Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war .."

Yep! If only there was an international police force to arrest violators of The Geneva Conventions Treaties.

🎯🎯

Dear Christian, If you’re demanding that the Ten Commandments be put up in public schools, but you’re not holding this president or his administration accountable to a single one of them, please don’t act like you actually take them seriously.

YET ANOTHER SUIT AGAINST TRUMP'S MAIL-IN VOTING EXECUTIVE ORDER NAACP files 70-page federal civil suit, which says: "This Order is not the President’s first foray into voter suppression" Here it is: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Kennedy: "Democrats offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted and I said, 'Ok, let's accept,' then at the same time we'd offer a bill for reconciliation where we don't need any D votes. That way we're out of the shutdown and DHS is back open. Thune submitted that to Trump. He said, 'No. No deals.'"

ICE is already at our airports. Bringing heartbreaking scenes like this to an already chaotic environment. And now Tom Homan and Donald Trump want them at every airport across America.

Brendan Keefe: "TSA is largely funded by a tax on every ticket. It adds $5.60 to every one-way ticket & $11.20 to roundtrips. Everyone in line right now is already paying the TSA fee, even for free reward travel. The government has previously diverted that money to the Treasury. Pay the agents."

As Governor, I approached every issue with one basic question: what’s the problem we’re trying to solve? The SAVE America Act seeks to solve a problem that barely exists - voter fraud is much rarer than being hit by lightning - and instead, disenfranchises millions.

Fox News reporter: "You said the war was militarily won in Iran. What did you mean by that?" Trump: "Oh, I think we won. ... From a military standpoint, they are finished." Fox News reporter: "So how much longer should the American people expect this to go on?" Trump: *walks away*

Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers. My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid. I think that's patently unfair.

@whitehouse.senate.gov please consider running for President.

This is Trump’s dirty scheme to raise your power bill.

Florida fisherman attacks Trump over Iran war: "What are we really doing there besides raising our prices? ... Make America Great Again? We're tearing America apart right now. It's sad because it's the working class people that are suffering the most."

The next move, I hope, is @robertgarcia.bsky.social holding a press conference asking why the attorney general won't give testimony under oath about the sex trafficking ring that likely implicates the president. And then another the next day. And the next. And the next.

Happened with Jim Jordan too. And the lawmakers and law enforcement just shrugged it off like "Well, ain't that just the way it is with the rich and powerful?"

Mother Jones reported that the Trump admin is working to free indicted Alexander Smirnov,a Russian spy who was passing false info about former Pres Biden to the FBI A court filing revealed Deputy Atty Gen Blanche is working to get Smirnov out of prison.Why & why did Trump lift Russia’s gas sanctions

If Joe Kent was so weak on security—and running the National Counterterrorism Center—why didn’t Trump fire him?

"even the declaration of no quarter"

Japanese prosecutors have indicted a Tokyo man accused of using forged U.S. military identification to gain entry to Yokosuka Naval Base, the U.S. Navy's largest overseas installation. (from @hanakusumoto.bsky.social & @alexmwilson.bsky.social)

The Department of Energy has warned that gas prices likely will not come down until mid-2027 at the earliest.
