Let’s go VA & NJ!

there's a petition for that: c.org/BgrNdXgKWF

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

So let’s see…. During the govt shut down 🍊💩 has tore the East Wing down & is supposedly building a ballroom. Then “redid” a bathroom in the Lincoln bedroom with marble. 🍊💩 travelled to Asia for a week & got a gold crown in S Korea. Refused to release SNAP funds as directed. Now a flapper party? 🖕🏼

When Pres Trump kept pressuring our democratic partner, Ukraine, rather than the aggressor, Russia, I knew I had to resign and speak out. I’m running for MI07 because we have to stand up to the Trump Admin’s harmful policies at home & aboard. Join us at BridgetBrink.com

Emil Bove now has a lifetime appointment as a judge, and I'm just f**king done. There is no justice in the world and all of this is so wrong. How do I stop caring?

A young man sobbed, “They took my mom.” That’s what today’s immigration raid looked like at a Ventura County farm—“ICE” firing tear gas at children and protesters. This is fascist racism. We need nonviolent mass citizen intervention. Now. (Video via anonymous viewer) #OnYourSide

A total outrage. A judge needs to dismiss this at the first opportunity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

RM @meeks.house.gov: Absorbing a skeleton crew of just 20 USAID disaster responders into the State Department's bureau for refugees isn’t real disaster response & will cost lives. Sec. Rubio needs a credible plan to maintain the world’s best disaster aid capability. This isn't it. Lives are at risk.

Indefensible.

Did Trump and Pam Bondi make a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel? It would seem so, and now 17 cartel family members have been allowed to enter the U.S. apnews.com/article/el-c...

ABBY PHILLIP: “What if this were a Democrat? Let Don Jr. tell you…” DON JR. FLASHBACK: “I wish my name was Hunter Biden. I could go abroad and make millions off my father’s presidency.” 🔥 PHILLIP: “…which seems to be what’s happening right now.” 🎯

Holy hell! No regulation for 10 years?! AI will dominate us in 3. youtube.com/shorts/JrS37...

The impunity with which these people are acting is more evidence that they aren’t going to permit free elections in 2026, much less in 2028.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

This from @stephruhle.bsky.social caused Trump to lose his shit

Unhappy to confirm that the entire Historical Advisory Committee at the State Department received termination notices this afternoon (myself included). The HAC, set up by Congress, oversees the office that produces the FRUS series. history.state.gov/about/hac/in... 1/

Democracy Dies In Decorum

Remember Senator Roger Marshall, who walked out on his constituents at a town hall last weekend after refusing to answer a question about cuts to veterans? He just came out in support of massive cuts to the VA. REPOST if you think Roger Marshall is a disgrace to our veterans!

I told everyone last year they were coming for the PACT Act. Really awesome stuff that veterans like myself who spent over 500 days at war, living next to burn pits. Will have that protection / disability taken away. #Veterans #PACTAct

🤬

Do as I say, not what I do. We have got to turn the house and senate

Wow. Insanity. This was a state court prosecution.

Republican state lawmakers galvanize to attack same-sex marriage. The recent wave of GOP-led bills comes as Trump becomes emboldened in orders against LGBTQ+ communities. #Voices4Victory #LGBTQ+ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Republicans in Congress are trying to make sure $50 billion in medical debt isn't removed from credit reports. Rep. Ralph Norman and Sen. Mike Rounds have introduced a resolution to overturn the CFPB rule to remove that debt from your credit score.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

A Thread on Civil Rights. 1/2 Ohio’s MAGA Sen. Bernie Moreno is already showing his true colors. He urged AG Pam Bondi to rescind consent decrees—legally binding agreements that hold police accountable for misconduct. This is a direct attack on justice & civil rights! 🔗 tinyurl.com/Moreno-Bondi

Senator Raphael Warnock goes off on Republicans for being "silent while this new administration breaks the law." "I don't work for some oligarch threatening to run for my seat or run somebody for my seat. I work for the people of Georgia." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The guy overseeing USAID was identified two years ago as a Jan. 6 participant who entered the Capitol through a broken window. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Representative Humphrey of Oklahoma has introduced a Bill that if codified would abolish the Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse. Putting thousands of lives at risk. Good people of Oklahoma what do you have to say about that? #USDemocracy #MentalHealthSubstanceAbuse #EndProject2025

Merrick Garland is not to blame for Trump’s return to power. The blame belongs with Mitch McConnell and SCOTUS for failing to serve as a check on abuse of power. My thoughts in The Contrarian.

NEW: I call out the corporations eliminating DEI, then speak to @justin-gill.bsky.social about his petition to stop the confirmation of RFK Jr. for the Good Trouble segment on today's @dailybeanspod.bsky.social. Free to listen and subscribe: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

8/10/21: “Mineral exploration company KoBold Metals, backed by billionaires including Jeff Bezos & Bill Gates, has signed an agreement” with Bluejay Mining to “search in Greenland for critical materials used in electric vehicles.” DOGE advisor Marc Andreessen backs Kobold thru his VC fund. 1/

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

NEW: In an unexpected move last night, the North Carolina Supreme Court dismissed GOP candidate Jefferson Griffin’s petition challenging over 60,000 ballots cast in his November 2024 race for a seat on the bench, which he lost to incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by over 700 votes.

As an attorney I swore to uphold the Constitution So I believe it's vital to make sure the Senate hears from as many lawyers as possible In opposition to Donald Trump's unqualified cabinet nominees And-thanks to Lawyers for Good Government I made my voice heard m.community.com/cfLNpIrTWof6...

This is timely

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.
