This is brilliant. Pass it on.

Donald Trump Voted By Mail

There is nothing in the NATO Charter that requires a member-state to join wars of aggression started by another member.

THIS.

If Gov. Tony Evers signs the bill as expected, Arkansas would be the only state in the U.S. that has not yet opted into a federal program that provides free health insurance to low-income mothers for a year after giving birth, up from 60 days. By @megomatz.bsky.social

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift. It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Give this guy a bigger mic to drop.

Gifford: This ridiculous rhetoric by the president—it’s going to impact every single American because it makes them lose faith in us. That makes them less likely to travel here, buy American products, or invest here. This broken trust—the work of diplomacy—is very hard to build back.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Five Years After the Insurrection: “Our mission & our history demand that the League of Women Voters do absolutely everything within our power to make 2026 the year we save our democracy, not the year we condemn it.”—Celina Stewart, CEO @lwvus.bsky.social www.lwv.org/blog/five-ye...

Let me get this straight. Now we are importing Latino criminals in order to give them due process in a federal court?

Today would be a good day for every Democrat in Congress to display a replica of the plaque honoring the Capitol Police on J6 outside the door of their offices. Let's see 250 of these plaques on the walls. Just because the GOP refuses to display the plaque, no excuse for Democrats to do the same.

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

I’m so sick of hearing “ impeachment is pointless”. Impeachment is the lawful, appropriate response that is DEMANDED BY THE CONSTITUTION in an act of war without congressional approval. Not impeaching because it will “never get enough votes” is in and of itself, violating the constitution.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

The “newly discovered” Epstein archive contains 5 million more pages than the GOP healthcare plan.

Just so you can literally mean it when you say whether it's there or not.

I wrote to my two senators and representative this morning about joining the bipartisan move to charge AG Pam Bondi with inherent contempt of Congress for blatant defiance of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. I urge you to do the same.

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

One of the biggest moments of my career: USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Sent to my congressman, Rep. French Hill (R-AR): I have a simple question, shared by a huge number of your constituents. When will you finally say, "That's it. I've had enough."? If you're still okay with everything he says and does, you need to look inside yourself and consider what that means.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

A big win for Arkansas voters: a federal court has blocked laws that would’ve effectively shut down citizen-led ballot initiatives — the same process Arkansans have long used to raise wages, expand healthcare and enact reforms lawmakers ignored. https://bit.ly/49yKUfj

We are on record. We will fight to protect early voting and vote-by-mail. Last Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on vote-by-mail that lays the groundwork for attacking early voting. We will push back on threats to free, fair, & accessible elections. For all. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

It's FUN watching Fox News stammering over election results tonight.

Fox news anchor says, "We'll continue to bring you concession speeches throughout the night."

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

This year The Great Gatsby, next year The Grapes of Wrath.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

I've made a small modification to one of the frogs in my collection. #NoKings

Statement from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee 👏 🙏

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Anybody else find it disturbing/ironic that ICE is aggressively going after the homeless, who don't live in safe or sanitary conditions, while at the same time ICE confines the persons they've seized in unsafe and unsanitary conditions?

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Don’t let this make you quieter. Get louder.

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.
