I am humbly requesting that lawmakers in every Democratic-controlled state spend every waking hour between now and Christmas cooking up new congressional district maps that draw Republicans out of electoral existence

Justice Kagan is correct. Texans deserve better.

Where’s the CBS News town hall focused on the Democrats assassinated in Minnesota?

List of white men (and 2 women) who stood there grinning as Trump gave the most racist & xenophobic public speech in history of Oval Office.

I am starting to truly hate Hakeem Jeffries.

Wow, an extraordinary generous offer from a Bolts reader: Russ is offering to match any contribution you make to Bolts (just let him know)! And he'll also throw in an additional $$ for each repost of his post, or each new follow @boltsmag.org gets. So at least smash those share or follow buttons!

Does anyone have that sharpie tool where we can name every one of the people smiling, nodding, or even standing silently as Trump unloads this racist attack? Because I can see a future in which a lot of people will be saying, “I wasn’t there.”

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I used to think Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly's blunt, dry style wouldn't play well with an entertainment-addled American public. Now it seems like his fearless bluntness is the perfect antidote to push back against the overcooked rhetoric of Trump and Hegseth. They picked the wrong guy to attack.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I approve this message. It's going to be a threshold issue for me. That and completely dismantling ICE, fully implementing the Voting Rights Act, creating a national living wage (with subsidies for businesses that need it,) expanding the Supreme Court, and admitting DC and Puerto Rico as states.

This headline and story cannot be too widely shared. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/n...

Make Uber aware and if they don’t do anything, add them to the boycott list

My God......where is the humanity......?

A Judge ruled that Donald Trump sent the National Guard to DC illegally and now a guard member has lost her life. In April 2025 the killer was granted permanent asylum by the Trump regime. Shouldn’t that be the headline?

Trump drops 11 points - 11 points! - in the past month in Gallup. Just a staggering decline. 1/

Let him crash out after that but press him to stop doing this. It's fucking undignified for the office AND for journalism. Trump is a damned disgrace. I am humiliated daily to know that this beclowned madman is our president. In just the last week he's called women journalists piggy, stupid & ugly.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.

Today I wrote about how Donald Trump sued me but I fought and won. The response was so strong we decided to post it on the Democracy Docket website for free. Enjoy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

"My most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me, knowing that I was Jewish, saying 'Hitler was right' and 'gas em' and that was frequently followed by imitating the sound of escaping gas." Peter Ettedgui, ex classmate of Reform UK Leader Nigel Farage.

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club." They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Mark Kelly is a heroic public servant. Donald Trump is a treasonous criminal. Period. www.cnn.com/2025/11/24/p...

Just a heads up: He prosecuted two KKK members who committed the 16th Baptist Church (Birmingham) bombing

Entaged😤

37 days in jail for a Facebook post that merely quoted Trump saying, “We have to get over it” following a school shooting in January 2024, posted after the Charlie Kirk killing. A US citizens spent37 days in prison for exercising his 1st amendment rights. www.ms.now/opinion/tenn...

How can anyone continue to support this??

mark kelly sat on top of 526,126 gallons of fuel and rode a rocket into the vacuum of space four times i dont think he's afraid of the former host of celebrity apprentice

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

This is brilliant

The phrase “Hold Fast” comes from centuries-old nautical tradition. Sailors carved or tattooed the words across their knuckles as both a reminder and a plea: when the storm hits, grip the rigging and don’t let go. So to all who feel the deck pitching beneath them: HOLD FAST.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

RFK Jr. wants you to know that he’s personally responsible for the anti-vax misinformation on the CDC's website

Well, this is chilling AF. The Department of Education is suing Penn (in their quest for "combat antisemitism") requesting detailed information about Jewish faculty and staff. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... 1/2

Wow NYC, we see you @handsoffnyc.bsky.social!! This training is at FULL capacity, they had to turn people away…

My god the corruption of the Supreme Court is just fucking jawdropping......

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

Kash Patel's country music performer girlfriend currently enjoys the protection of an FBI security detail — prompting concerns that the arrangement may delay law enforcement from responding to other incidents, two people with direct knowledge tell MS NOW. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

This is a stunning thing to even have to see Members of Congress say out loud. Absolutely chilling. And inspiring.

all in favor?
