"We are experiencing a widespread GOP attempt to undo the Reconstruction Amendments that, along w/later civil rights reforms, form the constitutional foundation for our multiracial democracy."

… He's been trading stocks of companies whose fates are affected by his decisions. ALL THIS IN JUST THE PAST WEEK. THIS ISN'T NORMAL. WE CAN'T LET IT BE NORMAL. Job 1 for Congress must be to remove this felon, rapist, and lunatic from office as soon as humanly possible. (3/4)

remarkable that the State Department is amplifying Trump's insane threat to blow up one of our staunchest allies in the Middle East. we are governed by malevolent morons.

Every accusation is a rationalization. Trump & his allies were investigated for actual crimes, therefore it’s OK for Trump’s DO”J” to indict his enemies list for imaginary crimes.

NEW — All that highly enriched uranium that Iran possesses and which Trump claims is the reason for this war? It exists for one reason: Donald Trump, who tore up Obama’s nuclear agreement. Iran was honoring it. Trump didn’t care. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

It’s almost as if the Iranians had occupied the capitol

Our negotiations with Germany are going well. There are only a few minor sticking points over whether they get to keep Poland and France.

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

How many millions of our tax dollars are they going to be paid for refusing to show up for a deposition?

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

The Trump administration may be going after the Southern Poverty Law Center now, but make no mistake, this attack affects everyone. The point of prosecuting SPLC or others that make the president angry is to send a message: Fall in line or pay the price.

it's actually true that you cannot fund good government entirely by taxing the rich, which is why slopulist proposals to gut the tax base are a bad idea but taxing the rich at punitive levels is a goal in and of itself, billionaires are simply too dangerous to public policy to exist

If the US can prosecute former Cuban President Raúl Castro for the extrajudicial killings of four people in international airspace 30 years ago, then Trump should be prosecuted for the extrajudicial killings of nearly 200 people in international waters in the past year.

That’s why he said if they double his taxes it wouldn’t help anybody – because 2×0 is zero.

📌REMEMBER: If Trump hadn't unilaterally withdrawn from the Iran nuclear agreement crafted by Obama it would NOT have a stockpile of highly enriched uranium today. Iran was IN FULL COMPLIANCE with the agreement. This mess was created ENTIRELY by Trump. This isn’t reported enough.

I’ve been victimized by a big stupid orange government shitbird, first from 2017 tthough 2020, and again from 2025 to present. I reckon I’m owed several hundred thousand for all my suffering under this regime.

Donald Trump is different in many ways from the Republican presidents who preceded him. But there’s one way he’s exactly the same. trib.al/Z9mtcza

The damage from this presidency is generational. And that’s the best‑case scenario.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The racism is the point.

And in every Democratic midterm ad it goes

every now and then i feel the need to remind folks that The Daily doesn’t fact check

The three democratic justices on the court need to drop the legalistic critiques in their dissents & openly call out SCOTUS Republicans as partisan supremacist hacks. And everyone else must do the same.

So @jvl.bsky.social once called this one of the most important pieces ever published at @thebulwark.com Of course, this essay is built on the preeminent work of people like @hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social and @angiemaxwell.bsky.social But I think it is especially relevant today.

In other words, he lied.

compared to what actually needs to be done, dems in va steamrolling the state supreme court in this gerrymandering fight is very very very easy and they need to do it just to show us the entire party understands the assignment

Use the maps anyway, Governor Spanberger. The South is about to try and take representation back to 1900. Dixie delenda est.

You didn't "earn" a billions dollars, Jeff Bezos. You *took it* from your poorly paid workers.

Clearly the only way to protect voters and defend democracy is to reject anything that was decided democratically by the voters themselves

yes. change the statute on which this decision turned and redistrict according to the legitimacy conferred by the people of the state

The election of Donald Trump is going to go down as one of the most disastrous, calamitous own goals by a nation in the history of humanity. We’re really speedrunning through the consequences at this point.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

John Roberts OWNS every decision from his disastrous Supreme Court. I HATE him so much

I love New Mexico. It's a beautiful, beautiful state, as well. If you can spend your travel money there instead of some of the red state strongholds, you're supporting this.

Meanwhile the California grid now boasts the equivalent of 12 nuclear power plants worth of batteries -- the total cost of which was, I suspect, less than a single nuclear plant.
