Trump has reached PETTY TYRANT status. On the day of the worst jobs report in 20 years, he is talking about bucking the federal judge court order AGAIN today to FULLY fund SNAP benefits by tomorrow. His rationale: he claims he needs liquidity for his Venezuela cosplay war.

Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA’s response after natural disasters. Texts and emails obtained by ProPublica point to an effective way to get help faster: have one of Noem’s big donors make the ask. (Published September)

This guys a real POS

Your vote has power! The GOP response is to make it harder to vote, which has been their strategy since day one. Thanks to all the groups like @democracydocket.com for defending our voting rights every day in courtrooms across the country!

hey Chairman @kenmartin.bsky.social, could the DNC or one of y'alls partners get billboards by the airports in the 40 cities listed with a picture of him that just says "delays ahead?"

Long live the jury trial in America.

The sandwich splat heard round the world.

Oh, HJ on Fox again? youtu.be/SM4bX1k53hk?... Nice freeze frame on Botox reporter. Apt.

This didn't have to be this way!

stacey abrams deserves credit for these PSC flips and mobilization in georgia.. she played the long game for our collective progress

I was one of the four people who got canned. In the interim, you can subscribe to my newsletter, Straight From The Hut. No paywall, but feel free to choose the pay to support model. I'm not going anywhere — the show goes on, and I'll be back on MSNBC Saturday night. straightfromthehut.substack.com

Reminder: One of Cohen's checks with his Stormy Daniels repayments was for a rigged poll. Cohen testified under oath about creating fake polls and rigging real ones to help Trump win the electoral college in 2016.

Really wish I could’ve seen the crash out that happened in the White House on Tuesday night. I just know Stephen Miller hasn’t left his coffin in days.

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

🕶️Here we go 🕶️

My greatest hope is that my fellow Dems start listening to leaders like Jaime Harrison. Let's Go! We Lost the Race. The Lessons Still Stand. open.substack.com/pub/jaimehar...

the extra L in front of her name is so she always has a spare one she can hand to Republicans

Elon Musk is committing a genocide www.everythingishorrible.net/p/elon-musk-... "The shuttering of USAID, in other words, ranks with the absolute worst atrocities in the history of the world."

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

This is a Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appreciation post:

Yea that’s right Dems gained a seat in Nassau County Legislature last night too and denied another Republican Supermajority

Wow. Talk about bringing home the points of pain alongside the solutions right in the belly of the beast.

We told you this would happen. www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally. around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.

This line didn’t make it into many Trump speeches. 🤡

In about an hour, you can listen to the Supreme Court oral arguments in the IEEPA tariff cases here: www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen... I doubt we'll hear anything new and interesting in the parties' arguments, but if the justices ask anything that seems worth noting, I'll try to note it here.

Never again is now.

Today is Day 36 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. 2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA. 3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Sometime today, Mike Johnson will say, "I've been very busy not watching pornography this morning and I am only just hearing about the voting yesterday so I am unable to comment on all of that right now."

The establishment kicked ass tonight statewide. She can go to hell.

BREAKING: Minutes after Barack Obama’s message to end hunger in America, Vikings CEO Mark Wilf quietly donated $900,000 to Minnesota food banks. Obama personally thanked him and sent a handwritten note — a gesture that left Vikings fans deeply moved. #Skol #Vikings #NFL #Obama

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

👇 Pay attention because this is the plan. They have tried to take away the ACA since 2010. Let's fire Johnson next year. I am about tired of him.

Last night gave us hope for tomorrow, but today, the reality and the reason why we must keep fighting remains the same. Millions of Americans will go hungry because Trump and Republicans refuse to fund SNAP.

The Washington Post on Abigail Spanberger: "No woman has led Virginia since its colonial government was formed 406 years ago."

Real people; real harm. Nice reminder from VA that we're working for the safety of real people.

Right now I can see the Nuremberg trials clear as day.

These lawsuits will lead the way to accountability for this intolerable cruelty. Thank you to everyone involved, keep documenting, recording, and bearing witness!

PROP 50 PASSES!! 🇺🇸 This Texas Democrat thanks every California voter who came to democracy’s rescue after Greg Abbott silenced our voices. Special shout out to my friend @malena.bsky.social 👇🏽 who worked 24/7 canvassing, phone banking, you name it, to help CA voters understand what was at stake. 💙

Ok, one last race call for the night from a bellwether county... The Democrats have FLIPPED the Erie County, PA (Trump+1) County Executive position by 24 POINTS!

Another WELL DONE, Maine voters! apnews.com/article/main...

Wow!

I’m tired of people talking shit about Harris and her campaign. I don’t want to hear it anymore. It enrages me. And I know a lot of other Black folks, particularly Black women, feel the same. I’ve reached my limit with that nonsense.

Doing a few campaign appearances with Liz Cheney does NOT equal a rightward shift. That’s NOT comparable with changing positions on immigration or health care or trans rights or other issues. And Harris didn’t do ANYTHING like that. Y’all need to wake up and grow up. We don’t have time for this.

HISTORY MADE: Congrats to the next mayor of Albany, @dorceyformayor.bsky.social She will be the first Black mayor in the city’s history.
