See the banned Talarico interview here: youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

The SAVE Act is about suppressing women's right to vote. It has NOTHING to do with I.D. or election integrity. Receipts.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr. Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway. “He was supposed to be here, but… 1/

"The owners of a Dallas County warehouse that ICE had planned to use as a mega detention center said Monday it will not sell or lease the property to the federal government. “God answered our prayers,” the Hutchins Mayor said after learning of the decision... www.dallasnews.com/news/immigra...

Donald Trump said today that "Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting." My life's work is to prevent that from happening. I started Democracy Docket as a critical tool in the fight for free and fair elections. Support its work by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

🚨 Breaking news in Epstein Case 🚨 The New Mexico Legislature has passed HR1 to convene a Truth Commission and investigate Epstein’s crimes in NM, including at Zorro Ranch—led by State Reps Andrea Romero and Marianna Anaya. Full explainer here: youtu.be/DnOTfR_msPw?...

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Don’t be TRICKED! The SAVE act is a voter suppression bill PRETENDING to be a voter protection bill… youtu.be/5bgy1Rd7rk4

"That’s my challenge to you: Cancel something. Even if it’s one thing. Tell us in the comments what it was. And then share this newsletter with one person you think might be open to joining us."

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Rep. Don Bacon expresses concern about the potential misuse of presidential pardon power.

On Presidents Day, we’re reminded: no president is above the law. Proud to have Rep. Don Bacon join this bipartisan effort — because safeguarding democracy shouldn't be partisan. When pardons are abused to protect criminals and political allies, Congress has a duty to act.

Trump’s pardons of 1,600 January 6th rioters erased justice for the officers hurt and those we lost. At least 33 of the pardoned rioters have since committed new crimes. I introduced the Pardon Integrity Act to create checks on presidential pardons and protect the rule of law.

If we have free and fair midterm elections, Democrats will likely regain majorities in both the House and Senate. Here’s a sampling of what would happen then: - Impeachments: Of Trump and some in his cabinet, especially Bondi, Patel, Vought and Noem. Pick any multitude of their crimes. …

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration. Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net. This is what oligarchy looks like.

We can’t trust anything coming out of this administration. It’s getting tiresome.

I think the idea is to get everyone to hate us so that we can complain that we are the victims.

This flew under the radar, but it shouldn’t have. When senator Alex Padilla was tackled by DHS, Kristi Noem’s side piece, Corey Lewandowski, was orchestrating the situation in the hall.

The legacy media keeps getting this wrong. Trump didn't say "nationalize the election." He said We should take over the VOTING in at least many—15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the VOTING." There is a big difference.

I only met him once. Disgusting person, never wanted anything to do with him. Well I stopped by his private island. But only because I was boating past it. And did business with him. Disgusting person. Good businessman. Nice island.

Munich, Kaufinger Straße, today.

Also really useful as Trump's favorables go underwater with white people (!!!). Build some momentum.

Barack Obama almost never jumps into the chaos. The fact that he’s speaking out now — repeatedly and urgently — is a warning. Something is deeply wrong. America needs to listen.

The candidate for US Senate endorsed by Gov. Brian Kemp didn’t vote for 20 years, including the 2016 & 2020 presidential elections. apnews.com/article/dere...

Why are our taxpayer dollars funding our own torture? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

What an utter disgrace Marco Rubio is. "'I can say to you with confidence that President Trump is deeply committed to your success because your success is our success,' Rubio said during a joint press conference with Orban after their meeting." www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

I was also moved by a video simulation that brings to life the conflict's stakes for European sovereignty and security. We can't allow Putin's mania for control to determine our collective future.

Ukraine is the front line in a wider fight for democracy. @munsecconf.bsky.social Ukraine House installation featured powerful contrasts in the scale of this war's artifacts. Compare a shot-down Russian drone versus a smaller Ukrainian interceptor (with me & MSC Chair Wolfgang Ischinger for scale).

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Exactly. Russian broadcasting media today are leading with Rubio's election campaigning on the stump with Viktor Orbán. "Your victory is ours," Rubio is quoted as saying. "Он наш," says the Russian reporter, "he's ours."

The problem is they are ALL this bad and it is beyond comprehension that any of Trump’s cabinet were confirmed by the Senate. TBH, those Senate enablers bear much of the burden of this disastrous administration. Even now, they could still turn things around, but they remain sycophants and cowards.
