When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US. Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe. So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Crockett: How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won't have food on the tables and we won’t have health care.

A man posing as a police officer shot and killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband in a brazen attack at their home early Saturday, and a second lawmaker and his wife were wounded in a separate shooting in what Gov. Tim Walz described as “targeted political violence.”

Senator Padilla of California was forcibly removed for asking a question during a DHS press conference. NONE OF US ARE SAFE.

Gov. Gavin Newsom made the case in a televised address Tuesday evening that President Trump’s decisions to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles have put the U.S. at the precipice of authoritarianism. https://trib.al/EpbF098

Last night, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the federal vaccine advisory committee. “It’s a massive story in terms of the implications of where this may be going,” Jack Blanchard says on #playbookpod, “Everyone knows RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines.” 🎧 ow.ly/GJCP50W6UzG

Republicans BURIED a line in their "big beautiful bill" that would help Trump officials ignore court orders. One problem? It violates the Senate's rules. I’m going to fight to strip this provision out. And we need everyone in the fight against this bill.

Donald Trump is invading Los Angeles in significant part bc his consigliere has deep emotional wounds from having to live among brown people.

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

Both statements are from last night. Note difference between how Trump characterizes conditions in LA ("RIOTS AND LOOTERS"), vs how the LAPD does ("Peaceful Protests")

🚨 Trump threatens to use military action to annex Greenland, says he hopes automakers raise prices, pretends he's never heard of Signal and more in a deranged interview with NBC News. Watch:

Who's going to bust them? In the old days, these guys would be charged with racketeering. The problem is they're now in charge of the Justice Department. It’s like Al Capone taking over the cops. 🔊 substack.com/home/post/p-...

Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country. Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our communities.

Opinion | Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him in - The Guardian He has bankrolled elections, stoked riots and ignored laws. We mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s richest bully

Democratic Party’s persistent failure to address the economic consequences of the globalization must be acknowledged and addressed—when, if not now?

This normalization of one of the most radical, dangerous noms in presidential history is genuinely stunning. Even for the New York Times. To write a report like this that gives no indication of why Patel would be opposed other than to affably say he has a "hard-charging" philosophy...not journalism.

Bright lights floating or flying in the night sky above New Jersey have captivated residents for nearly a month. Now the sightings, which many observers believe to be drones, have spread throughout the region. Here's what to know.

Oops! 🤣

US supreme court to hear fuel firms’ challenge to California’s emission limits The president-elect, Donald Trump, has vowed to boost production of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal and repeal key parts of a landmark 2022 climate law.

Did gerrymandering keep Republicans from a bigger majority? Absolutely not

The NY Attorney General has REJECTED Trump's bid to dismiss his $500M civil fraud judgment post-election. The AG stated that Trump's presidency doesn't shield him from civil litigation over non-official conduct, per the Constitution and multiple court precedents.

“Gabbard is worse than unfit. Her public record is as a disinformer and apologist for mass murderers. And there is nothing on the other side of the ledger. There are no positive qualifications.”

Trump’s cabinet picks aren’t just ‘loyalists’. They’re groveling, subservient yes-men. Every one of his nominees campaigned for these jobs by engaging in conspicuous displays of submission and flattery directed toward Trump.

I’d like to see more major-media reports on how the involvement of Elon Musk with a) the Presidential Transition, b) the House Republican Conference, c) the Senate Republican Conference, and d) lobbyists is already unlike anything America has ever seen with a non-government adviser. 100% horrifying.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

So @janemayer.bsky.social does not miss www.newyorker.com/news/news-de...

Holy hell! Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn is accused of asking for money from people under consideration for political appointments in the Trump administration. If there's a pay-for-play scheme here, the public deserves to know. Release the investigation report NOW.

In the history of Every Accusation Is a Confession, perhaps the best example is incoming FBI director Kash Patel promising to prosecute anyone who helped Joe Biden rig an election when he was part of a 2019 Trump plot to steal the 2020 US presidential election and poisoned the Pentagon pre-January 6

If there is not as much uproar over today’s Kash Patel-to-FBI news as there was in the face of the Matt Gaetz-to-DOJ news, nothing matters anymore and everyone has lost their minds I actually think Gaetz may be a hair less deranged than Patel, words I cannot believe I just typed

Trump noms ordered by how urgent it is they be stopped: By Any Means 🟥 Patel 🟥 Kennedy Jr. 🟥 Gabbard 🟥 Hegseth 🟥 Bondi 🟥 Bhattacharya 🟥 Huckabee 🟥 Whitaker 🟥 Vought By Almost Any Means 🟧 McMahon 🟧 Blanche 🟧 Oz 🟧 Noem 🟧 Stefanik Try Hard 🟨 Wright 🟨 Zeldin 🟨 Bessent 🟨 Phelan 🟨 Greer Pass it on.

Why do people expect that we will actually have another election in 4 years?

New powder that captures carbon could be ‘quantum leap’ for industry It fills up with carbon in about two hours, and then must be heated to release the gas before starting the process over again. It only requires a temperature of about 120F to release the carbon;
