My loyalty and trust in the major papers has been so painfully eroded in the past few years. Every new bit still hurts tho

This is looking like a very good night for democracy and sanity. What a relief.

This was really clever and actually informative.

The humor, the clarity, the razor-sharp assessment by Obama that it’s all a distraction from their ongoing efforts to make life worse for everyday Americans. More please, President Obama.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Rep. Nick Langworthy is holding a tele town hall tonight, but only those on his private newsletter list were notified. Not the public. Not the people he was elected to serve.

The ripple effects of the upcoming cessation of SNAP are important to keep in mind podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Yes

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

What a crazy time warp I experienced listening to his voice. Took me back to the same 1981. Horrified is spot on

every passing day, rightwingers are inventing new and unexpected ways to signal to the world they may be the dumbest iteration of humans so far

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Worth a listen

My feelings, exactly.

A Missouri group is working to overturn the map that gives the state one more Republican seat in Congress. If they get enough signatures, the map cannot take effect unless Missourians approve them. n.pr/42HDimE

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

This is an emergency. In a month, health premiums are going to go up by 75%, ruining families' lives. What's happening in Chicago, where people's rights are being obliterated, is an emergency. What the FCC is doing - censoring our political speech - is an emergency.

There’s more of us than there are of them. They can’t control us. They can’t stop us from voicing our dissent. Thugs and thuggery is not a winning future, even if they think so. See you at No Kings.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Aaron, Ivory & Stella are here to share what really matters: fair pay, good jobs, strong communities, and a fair shot for everyone. Because when you work hard, you deserve stability, not struggle.

Remember to take a breath and look around. Let’s all keep our mental well being intact.

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.

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.

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.
