This is a very bad decision made by very bad people on behalf of other very bad people. The Trump administration has repeatedly shown itself to use illegitimate investigations to punish people it dislikes. Therefore a Trump administration investigation is not legitimate basis for this decision.

And of course it’s the fifth circuit that decides for women everywhere in the country, Mifepristone no longer available unless you can pick it up in person. Reminder: in Dobbs, the court said this should be up to each state. That’s not what this does. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Along with wildly violating both domestic & international law, & threatening the global economy, this war is a massive threat to US national & transatlantic security. The GOP, in its current form, simply cannot be allowed anywhere near foreign & security policy until it is reformed root & branch.

All of this. There should be daily talk of impeachment— Dems should be screaming it from the hilltops. Advertising that there is a political solution tamps down violence— and it motivates the voting base.

Cole Allen's reported manifesto includes a postscript mocking the Secret Service: "security at the event is all outside, focused on protestors and current arrivals, because apparently no one thought about what happens if someone checks in the day before."

Amazing to me that people keep screaming about security failures in a situation where security did not fail. Bad things didn't even happen to bad people, so you can stop pretending to be worried about that. Stop whining for a bigger, badder police state.

As someone who spent literally 100s of hours canvassing rural voters of all types/parties in my town’s local elections, 10/10 no notes. Regular people are FURIOUS at the corruption & lawlessness

Sorry, but self-driving cars are still cars. They won't "de-center" autocentric streets; they'll reinforce them. Silicon Valley made a similar urbanist pitch about ridehail 15 years ago. Turns out, cities with ridehail have *more* cars and miles driven, not less. The same will be true of AVs.

Spicy Pete Oberacker (R) is playing both sides of the suspicious chemicals in your food game. #NY19

Josh serves everyone in #NY19. He doesn't care whether someone is a registered Republican, Democrat, or unaffilited; he fights to solve their problem and get them what they and their family members are entitled to. We deserve a representative who cares about all of us and fortunately we have one.

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

yeah my thought when i hear that is "tell this to the president and his goons"

In my future world, the justices of the jurisdiction-stripped supreme court get together with their 1 shared clerk at the coffee shop near the Reston, VA office park where the court now meets to discuss their only case of the term--a riparian boundary dispute between Nebraska and Iowa.

Same. It was disgusting.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

I've spent a lot of time in countries where graft and grifting are the norm and I assure you it is worth a truly immense cost to prevent that from taking hold in our society. You do not want to live in that kind of society.

HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

I wrote this to help people understand that universal basic income is not meant to permanently replace all jobs. It's meant to be a floor below which no one can fall, and a dividend that universally distributes a share of our economy. It's meant to provide the power to say no and freedom to choose.

This should have been a bigger story. ⬇️ Secret messages reveal Roberts' Conservative Justices are NOT umpires calling balls & strikes, they're partisans helping big business & Republicans while *pretending* to care about the Constitution. IT WAS ALL A LIE. Demand Roberts' Impeachment. #FDT #ETTD

One of the things that gives me hope is that we just might come out of this disastrous period with renewed public support for democracy, climate policy, free trade, & international cooperation, as a result of the viscerally repellent, kakistocratic, far right authoritarianism of one Donald J. Trump.

I think that we should simply run on prosecuting the rich for their crimes instead of creating a low trust society that will sow the seeds for further fascism

Periodic reminder that our public health policy is being managed by the crunchy granola version of the Khmer Rouge.

Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."

there are going to be people who say, take a wait and see approach to how the Court will treat the next Dem president and those people are wrong, we know exactly how they will treat that person and it is the polar opposite of how they treat Trump strike at them immediately, first order of business

Any Dem who runs on a platform of ending every single government contract with Palantir, then hiring a team of experts to undo the damage these fascist dorks have done to our infrastructure, communications and personnel, not only has my vote, but has my donation checks and volunteer hours as well.

It is objectively bad for democracy that both blue and red states are doing extreme gerrymanders. But the only feasible solution — a national ban on partisan gerrymandering — has only been endorsed by one party. And it's not the one complaining about Virginia right now.

one time i think before 2020 ben shapiro was warning that democrats would shred the constitution by adding states and expanding the supreme court, both of which are constitutional, and i think about that a lot

look, republicans set the rules of engagement that literally any bureaucratic trick is fair game and they just never thought dems would agree to those terms

Salt Lake City has almost twice as many registered Dems as Republicans. But for decades, the districts have been drawn to each take a slice of the city and suburbs. Utah democrats have suffered for years without any representation in Congress despite controlling the state’s population center.

Not great when the leadership of the two warring parties* are complete self-serving grifters & could give a 🐀 🫏 about their people *TrumpCrimeFamily *IranRevolutionaryGuard

Personal news: I now identify as a corporation and my pronoun is it. Thank you. That is all. #TariffRefunds #TrumpTaxes

I have absolutely no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish in Iran, or how he plans to accomplish it, and the fun thing is that neither does he! That's why the constitution does not give the President the authority to launch wars without Congressional approval.

Radiohead just randomly started streaming live performances and random songs from their catalogue yesterday, and it's still going..................... 👀👀👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6ga...

Having Jim Messina at your event is basically admitting your event is about selling out to conservatives, corporations, and billionaires. How can we trust he cares about our future? His history suggests he cares about himself, he'l do almost anything to make money. Here's a list... 1/

Its one thing to read the histories and realize that fascism is an ideology by and for weird losers who suck at everything, and another to live through it

i am sort of morbidly fascinated by how being bad at fucking everything — posting, joking, movies, fashion, design, etc., etc. — has become such an in-group signal amongst the worst people on the planet

Jon Cowan & his Third Way group — ugh — what an arrogant person w some quite out of touch ideas about voter concerns & preferences — but guess if you spend your time seeking the views of “50 top Democratic donors” those are the folks whose views you’re aware of (in rw: to NYT article)

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

More specifically I don’t care about blame I care about CHANGE. At this point the only ones who can make quick change are Republicans and we should direct our focus on them.

Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This is what happens when you don't lock war criminals up, Netanyahu and Trump should be behind bars, the only thing they should be able to order is their lawyer.

If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.

There are all sorts of structural things that need to get fixed, but the most obvious and essential requires no structural change, but a cultural one: An end to elite impunity. Real costs for flagrant misbehavior. We have all the tools. We just never use them.

You know what DID age well?
