The very concept of being a "longtime proponent" of using the Insurrection Act proves that it is being misused. By its own terms, the Act is to respond to a exigent threat needing immediate and short-term response, so concerning that the Constitutional rights of the citizens can be overridden. +

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

I said it last week and I’ll say it again now: the President is using the National Guard as his toy soldiers – we won’t accept that.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities. Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement. It’s illegal and un-American.

We are in this mess because Donald Trump is a hateful bigot, narcissist and sadist who can’t stand the fact that most people can’t stand him so he needs to mete out retribution to punish all those who hate him for who and what he is. That…and millions who cheer on his hateful ways. What a world.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

"What kind of monsters grab children and take them outside without clothes? What kind of govt permits its agents to do this?..The answer can only be a fascist regime that has abandoned any moral code as it seeks to intimidate, stoke fear and do violence." www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-t...

Release the jobs report. And while you’re at it, release the Epstein files.

Very specific question! Is anyone out there from Bucks County PA, very specifically, Council Rock region 6? I have a mission!

Republicans in Congress are holding our government hostage to cut taxes for billionaires and rip health care away from 17 million Americans. While families here in Western New York worry about paychecks, veterans, and services, Langworthy is on vacation. That is not leadership.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the NAACP and the NAACP New York State Conference, my law firm has filed to intervene as defendants in a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to New York state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

Then why are you providing a $20 billion bailout to Argentina and helping them cut deals with China that crush American soybean farmers?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

Go Sox!

A new Labor Department rule will strip millions of caregivers, who care for seniors and people with disabilities, of crucial workplace protections. Denise Lugo, a member of @domesticworkers.bsky.social, explains how these changes would hurt workers like her.

Spot on

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Thank you to all who called or emailed to complain. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

I really, really love this.

I'm glad we are seeing some bipartisan recognition that political violence is unacceptable. But if the response to gun violence - political or otherwise - is to limit free speech while doing nothing to stop people with murderous intent from accessing guns, those words ring hollow.

The National Archives under the Trump administration released @mikiesherrill.bsky.social full, unredacted Navy personnel file to Jack Ciattarelli's campaign. This is an unprecedented and illegal weaponization of the National Archives and private, personal records to attack a political opponent.

This is an eye-opener...... youtu.be/badGHJLDpP8?...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Last week, I called out the Trump Administration for failing to answer basic questions about why it attacked boats in the Caribbean, if they were actually drug boats, why it didn’t interdict to gain important intel on narco kingpins, and who exactly was killed. We need answers. youtu.be/_fGRd_vdFdU

There goes the First Amendment.

I went to war three times. I served and put my life on the line to protect the free speech rights of my fellow Americans, some of whom I disagree with. That’s who we are as a country. Trump is now trying to silence critics. That’s not what I fought for. I won't remain silent.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Refuse to be lectured-to about political violence by those who disappear people and kidnap children off the streets.

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

Over a million Americans are now unable to use their Medicaid insurance at Planned Parenthood centers and hundreds of clinics will be at risk of closing. This will have devastating impacts on women’s health care across the country.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind. No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

Just a moment of light

This argument should get talked about amongst ALL Americans because the pain will be universal

CA Central Coast workers are harvesting peas. They're paid piece rate. On this day, they began at 7am & were still working at 5pm. A worker shared in order not to use time taking bathroom breaks they try to drink less, so they have the opportunity to harvest more. #WeFeedYou

Nice!!!

The 3-justice dissent was right:“We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, [we] dissent.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm. Yet another sign of a cover-up.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

TRUMP: "I killed over a million people with my inability to understand disease." RFK Jr: "Hold my horse dewormer."

23 Dem governors are “crucial in resisting Trump’s defiance of our federal system & the independent power of states. The more Trump over-reaches in his deployment of military troops & other criminal violations, the more we should expect Dem states to say no.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-y...
