Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

THE GOP IS ROOT CAUSE! Recognize: The GOP NEVER says a word about trump destroying the US reputation around the world! #usdemocracy www.youtube.com/shorts/QYtP1...

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest? Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything." A short 🧵:

Do NOT fall for trump’s LIES. The Democrats have tried 10’x to pass a bill to pay TSA workers. Senate Republicans are blocking it because trump won’t go along with it. Trump & the GOP Own This!! #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #FundDHSFreezeICE

Wish I could share this

Tomorrow SCOTUS will hear the RNC's latest bid to discard lawful mail-in ballots. I have been in this fight for years. I'll share my post-argument analysis exclusively with Democracy Docket subscribers. Sign up → bit.ly/4qmEiFz

THREAD: Why did @npr.org make a voter registration guide at npr.org/vote? I wrote about it in today's Up First newsletter — and I'll explain it here too... view.nl.npr.org?vawpToken=Z3...

Robert Mueller, a Vietnam veteran with a bronze star for heroism, and a purple heart has passed away. Perhaps his biggest honor was trying to save our democracy. I REFUSE to let him be a punchline for our deranged president. Robert Mueller was a hero and may he rest in peace and watch over us. Amen.

Democrats have offered to pay the salaries — fully fund, no conditions — for TSA. It’s Republicans who keep blocking that.

President Kennedy's family created the profile in courage award in 1989 to honor Kennedy and to recognize political bravery. The John F. Kennedy Library and Museum announced Twin Cities residents have earned the Profile in Courage Award.

The Trump administration is preparing to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Scientists warn this would leave emergency officials less prepared for extreme weather events such as hurricanes and wildfires.

Less than 24 hours after we exposed the ludicrous details behind Secretary Noem’s $220 million taxpayer funded ad campaign, she was fired. My reaction on The Lead with @jaketapper.bsky.social.

NEW: 🥇 Avalanche center and Olympian Brock Nelson put family, teammates and the Stanley Cup ahead of a day with Donald Trump? Good for him. @DenverPost column: 👇 denverpost.com/2026/02/25/b... #GoAvsGo #Avalanche #NHL #hockey #USA #Colorado #WinterOlympics #USAHockey #sports #news

103 years ago today the Supreme Court ruled South Asians couldn't be citizens bc we weren’t “white persons.” Sound familiar?

Great question? Are they building them for Americans? Are we the next target? If they’re deporting these ppl they’re arresting, why are they trying to secure so many warehouses to build immigration facilities? I think that there is another purpose all together.

Happy Pitchers and Catchers day to all who celebrate!

Only one who got the ball into the end zone was Bad Bunny

I love the Obamas! Michelle & Barack are kind, compassionate, brilliant & loved...truly loved!

🧊 "We're going to get an ICE detention facility before we get a grocery store!"

The 14th Amendment on who should be counted in census apportionment counts used to redistribute U.S. House seats and Electoral College votes: "Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state..."

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction? There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.

#Liam got his hat and backpack back, too❗👏😄 bsky.app/profile/waja...

For Liam.

Children are watching ICE terrorize their neighborhoods & schools 😢 The emotion & talent in this young boy

Such joy

Turns out, Lady Gaga singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" is exactly what we needed right now. 🥹⁠ ⁠ The 'Mister Rogers' cover is for Rocket and Redfin's Super Bowl commercial, which they say is all about spreading "kindness, compassion and community."

this is tangential but it's always so remarkable to me how composed so many people are in the face of state violence I am not confident in my ability to calmly and eloquently recount the details of a threat to my life

On Jan. 22, Rep. Mike Lawler of New York introduced the latest Republican-sponsored bill calling for excluding people living in the states without legal status from #2030Census results that the 14th Amendment says must include the “whole number of persons in each state"

Alex Pretti was murdered. The Trump Administration is spinning lies about what happened. But the American people see the truth with their own eyes.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

the nba postponed a game because the united states government is killing its citizens

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves is retiring from the stage after a last performance as Maria in the Gershwins' Porgy and Bess at the Metropolitan Opera, and looking ahead to directing and mentoring. n.pr/4aanwDN

Pope Leo is tweeting against Trump aggression.

@crow.house.gov is serving a resolute #CupOfJoe. More please.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested an interview with Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) over his participation in a video last year reminding U.S. military and intelligence service members that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The de facto position of the Trump administration is that it's occupying forces are allowed to mock and belittle American citizens, and also allowed to kill citizens who mock and belittle them.

I just needed a little break from reality today. So here it is. youtu.be/H7O6i1tpevg?...

This video exists on Bluesky - How to get ICE out of Minneapolis & all of our Cities Obama’s right “Don’t Boo, Vote”

This guy is one of a kind. If you don't have him on your radar you should fix that. Instead of gazing with wonder at the denialism five years later, he's warning the polity. Possibly the most valuable news anchor in the country. Kyle Klark at 9News Denver.

Trump’s HHS just froze $10B in child care and social services funds across CA, CO, IL, MN, NY, while implying “fraud” with no proof. That’s not oversight, it’s collective punishment. Kids lose care, families lose support, and states get shaken down.

I am very angry that the corporation for public broadcasting is dissolving today for no other reason than Project 2025 wanted it to.

My friend @governorwalz.mn.gov has been a dedicated public servant from his time in the National Guard to Governor of Minnesota. Everywhere he goes he carries with him his Midwestern values of kindness and standing up for working families. Thankful for his service and sacrifice.
