*clears throat*: time to re-post the kavanaugh concurrence again!

The "putting people under oath" part is really important here. We need more of this.

Younger veteran: "How old are you, man?" Older veteran: “87.” Younger veteran: “Out here getting arrested, raising hell at 87.” Older veteran: “It’s just beginning.” 🦅 🦅 🦅 #ResistanceUnited 🔥 🔥 🔥

NEWS A federal judge nominated by President Trump in his first term, has blocked, for now, the deployment of the National Guard to Portland. Judge Immergut said that President Trump’s assessment of “war ravaged” Portland was “untethered from the facts” and “ignoring the facts on the ground.”

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

“Trump is lying. Speaker Johnson is lying. Full stop.” Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Trump & Johnson claiming Dems are pushing for health coverage for undocumented immigrants.

“The Democrats need to empower messengers that the establishment is scared of, people who don’t delight megadonors.” Color me skeptical, but a good column!

I'm tired of this insanity, so l'm asking all Americans: When is enough going to be enough? Trump is unwell. He is delusional and vengeful. He doesn't care about this country or its citizens as evidenced by his fascist policies. He's tanking the economy and spitting on the constitution. 1/3

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Howard Lutnick Enrages Trump Officials With Jeffrey Epstein ‘Blackmail’ Remarks Read @swin24.bsky.social's latest: zeteo.com/p/trump-jeff...

Reporter: “How important do you think Black & Hispanic voters are to you winning your campaign?” Jack Ciattarelli, Republican candidate for Governor of one of the most diverse states in the nation: “Next question.”

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Seeing the hate and outrage over Bad Bunny being named the super bowl halftime act, shows that it was never about America first, but its about racism and if you don't look like "us" you don't belong. Puerto Ricans are American citizens. So they're either dumb or racist. I'll take BOTH for 200 Alex.

Please find your elections and get folks to turn out.

Donald Trump knows what he is doing in attacking democracy. Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat shares a warning about Trump's next authoritarian moves and we discuss how we can fight back. Please watch and share. youtu.be/ovorLE6E494

Hey PA Voters you have an important call to duty… In the chaotic country we are living in, our state courts are our final line of defense. To protect women’s reproductive rights, maintain free & fair elections, and keep our courts fair and independent VOTE YES! #VoteYesToRetainOurJudges

Lutnick on Epstein: Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it? Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

This approach also does the good work of not allowing them to just spout off their lies unchecked. It takes time away from their agenda.

I supported NPR. I hope everyone else here does as well, if they can The hosts may not be loud, or brash, or fully on board with your brand of politics But their programming is honest and sincere In today’s day and age, that means a lot

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

If you live in: South Dakota Louisiana West Virginia Wyoming Tennessee Mississippi Alaska Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump: SD - Up 235%
LA - Up 150%
WV - Up 387%
WY - Up 382%
TN - Up 320%
MS - Up 314%
AK - Up 346% Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.

Every single DC journalist should be spending this afternoon/evening finding Speaker Johnson & John Thune & asking them why the impeachment/removal has not happened yet, & continuing to hammer them with the same question over & over & over & over again & not accepting the boilerplate non-answers.

The Republicans are gone, not the Democrats. The Republicans do not give a flying fuck about Americans. They are only in the service of Donald Trump. Fucking wake up, America.

The President of the United States just openly declared war on four major American cities.

I really hope the pundits, analysts and journalists don't dismiss today's spectacle as just more partisan griping by Trump and Hegseth. What they did was sit all generals down and tell them war crimes are permitted in the upcoming invasions of American cities.

Yes. This is why it's important for Democrats to draw a line in the sand. Why would we provide the votes to fund a Department of Justice that is actively (and successfully!) hunting Trump's enemies and suppressing free speech?

This is an evergreen, but if Joe Biden had given a speech like this, every reporter in America would’ve had their head exploded. Instead, we get shrugs.

Impeachment-level scandals every damn day.

www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-t... Schumer, Jeffries, Thune, and Johnson Tomorrow DEMOCRATS STAND FIRM HEALTHCARE FOR MILLIONS

To be clear, Republicans actually do need Democrats to help pass the CR and keep the government open. It takes a 60-vote threshold, and they only have 53 without Democrats. Save healthcare: STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS!

Why would Democrats agree to any budget deal when all of it can be overturned by executive fiat?

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

Troops. In an American city. Using full force. Your now-regular reminder that Republican members of Congress are letting this happen.

As the attacks on democracy increase, supporting independent media has never been more important. I started Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 and it has remained fearlessly pro-democracy ever since. No corporate overlords. It will never bow down. Subscribe now to support. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

What are the names of the shooting victims? Why did the shooter shoot at them? The media needs to investigate these questions and give us answers.

The threats from this weak and unhinged regime are growing. But We the People are meeting the challenge — undaunted, unafraid, unwilling to be silenced by this petty, pathetic, wannabe-king. Let’s make 10/18 the largest day of peaceful protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

The Brookings Institute found that Charlie Kirk was the 2nd largest misinformation spreader among podcasts they analysed. "Mr. Kirk, a conservative activist and the founder of Turning Point USA, ranked second, with 17 percent of his episodes containing an unsubstantiated or false claim." Gifted:
