At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

Oof! Nailed it

Ah yes, the well-known “too high a percentage of stories” exception to First Amendment protection.

pretty much say it all www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.

A principled, courageous decision.

In #Rochester, #NewYork, 100 marched to surround a house where roofers were being detained by ICE. While one person was taken, several others were left alone as the crowd "shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents...drove...away on four flat tires." www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...

“Dems cannot pretend this is a normal Republican administration. They cannot ignore masked agents in the streets, armed troops in the cities, billions of dollars of money going into the Trump family’s pockets… If Dems cannot make an issue out of all that, then they are screwed and so are we.” 🎁🔗

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

God is over the “thoughts and prayers” bullshit!

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.

I had serious doubts about CDC Director Monarez’s willingness to stand up against RFK Jr.’s personal mission to destroy public health in America—I’m glad that I was wrong. If there are any adults left in the White House: we cannot let RFK Jr. burn what's left of CDC. FIRE HIM.

Now this is messaging. Not my constituents, not the people of Chicago, he said “MY PEOPLE.” Very effective and moving.

“This is not a time to pretend that there are two sides to this story.”

Seriously, Dem leadership has got to stop prevaricating and take an actual stand against this fascist regime!

This is courageous resistance. Protect our neighbors.

Ok, House Democrats (and Republicans), time to check on that scrap of paper again. Did any of you put "Prosecute political enemies," "Illegally take ownership of a private company," or "Occupy liberal cities with the military"? I'm beginning to think none of you have a line in the sand.

Just now…

Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying.  Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out.  The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

On the left is a post today from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On the right is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.

Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

Every single word spent dishonestly attacking Zohran is a word not spent attacking Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, which Republicans are trying to pass as we speak. Jeffries is failing to meet the moment.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

These numbers for ice are insane

A nice reminder of the immense power contained in saying “no.” When people refuse to comply, it raises the costs ($$$, political, social, etc) of enforcing authoritarianism. They very well might try anyway, but every person that says “no” is another point of friction. www.npr.org/2025/06/28/n...

PLEASE READ and SHARE from the CHILDREN'S Hospital Association: “Your child—regardless of their insurance status—could see the services they rely on reduced or eliminated... The bill amounts to fewer doctors and nurses to see your child, longer wait times, and sicker children."

This!! 👇🏻 We want you to fight against this monstrosity with everything you’ve got! @pattymurray.bsky.social @cantwell.senate.gov

People freaking out about having a socialist in the NYC mayoral residence but OK with having a fascist in the White House.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Guess I’m a Dodgers fan now!

#NoKings @indivisible.org @indiviseastside.bsky.social

This! Shut it down!! @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

This is it. This is the ball game. DoD does not have a role in enforcing the law.

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

We feed you. They hunt us.

Dear Journalists, I would like to share two maps. One is the area where the protests in LA are taking place. The other is the area where the US Constitution is under assault by a tyrannical regime. Any questions on the relative scale of the two stories?

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

Solidarity protests with Los Angeles for tomorrow (Mon, Jun 9th): • Chicago: 9:00am • Los Angeles: 11:00am • Seattle: 11am • Boston: 1:30pm • Raleigh: 2:00pm • Atlanta: 2:00pm • Charlotte: 2:00 PM • Sacramento: 4:00 PM • Asheville: 6:00pm Check link for updates and locations

NEW: I analyzed nearly 300 federal cases involving the Trump administration. Federal judges—across the political spectrum—are using language I’ve never seen before. One called government actions “unconscionable.” Another quoted Kafka. They’re begging us to pay attention.
