Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Please stop falling for the MTG is a new person con. Please.

So next time you see ‘populist’ or ‘white nationalist’ or the beloved far right talking point of ‘far left’ know you are reading propaganda informed by the subject’s perspective rather than a neutral one. For instance there are few if any far left thugs, there are thousands of far right terrorists.

A government that refuses to meet the basic needs of its people must be overturned. The lovely gentleman who played DJ on Roseanne on why SNAP matters. @reelfishman

One year ago today, my hope in my fellow Americans was crushed. Last night, it was restored to some extent; we have a lot of work ahead of us in the coming year to ensure we can have a free and fair election in the midterms. It's going to continue to be a fight, but I'm ready! #Pinks #ProudBlue

We have a moron tearing down the White House and trying to tear down America and the media is amazed that there's such a good turnout at the election. 🤦🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏿‍♂️

This is such a statement!! Between this and the trouncing that appears to have happened to the Virginia House of Delegates, it does seem like an absolute repudiation of many of MAGA Now, we need to carry that momentum into 2026 but also 2028. LFG!!!!

“I’m scratching my head trying to figure out if there’s ever been a sheriff’s race as bigtime as this one,” says veteran GOP strategist Christopher Nicholas. Record breaking turnout also ousted incumbent sheriff and district attorney, both of whom are Republicans.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 2008: Barack Obama becomes the first person of African American or biracial descent to be elected President of the United States. May we channel the joy and hope we felt on that day as we forge a path forward for democracy in America.

Voters in Pennsylvania have until 8 pm. Go vote 🗳️

as always, I am just a simple country journalist but I would say it's not a good sign for your law-enforcement efforts if they are greeted everywhere by people who hate you, call you cowards, alert their community to your presence, and so on

I bear no ill-will to the people of Venezuela. Zero.

Trump’s military moves against Venezuela are not about drugs. They’re driven by something else that’s addicting Americans: oil. Venezuela has the world’s largest known oil reserves. Trump wants it. In this thread are … 🧵 FIVE REASONS IT’S ABOUT OIL, NOT DRUGS 🧵

The US-Venezuala idiocy is a farse but if anything good can come out of it, I hope it's Ukraine getting tomahawks since Russia just landed a giant cargo plane in Caracas. ##SlavaUkraïni

Donald Trump and Peter Hegseth have now murdered 57 human beings on their boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific. That means they've passed Seattle's "Green River Killer" (49) to become the most lethal serial killers in American history Where is The Hague?

13yo kidnapped and held by the ICEstapo.

At this point I think it’s fair to say that most of the criticisms being lobbed at Mamdani are not out of genuine anger or surprise at any new revelations about him but are rather a transparently bad faith smear campaign to punish him for being a successful politician while Muslim

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

I cannot express how angry I will be if anyone anywhere in the world acts surprised when Trump declares himself eligible for a third and illegal presidential term by either invoking the Insurrection Act, declaring martial law, or simply declaring himself eligible to run and daring SCOTUS to stop him

Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

GOP’s refusal to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is a continuation of Jan. 6 and GOP’s rejection of democracy. This is not just about blocking the release of the Jeffrey Epstein file. It's also about GOP becoming increasingly hostile to democracy deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/gops-refus...

The Civil Servants Coalition, which authored the letter asking Congress to support a shutdown if the legislation to end it did not include reigning in the illegal actions of the administration, has put together this Google doc of resources. Please share it widely so Feds can hold the line longer!!✊✊

I, for one, have never felt more represented by the physical White House than I do now. I too feel as though someone with no qualifications, understanding of why that would matter, or regard for anyone but themselves is haphazardly destroying my world with large construction equipment.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

Yes...!

It's happening right in front of you. Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act. It's happening in plain sight.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

#Pinks #ProudBlue More on ICE zip tying naked children and throwing them into vans. Some of these children are U.S. citizens. I really don’t care who their parents are. If you’re okay with treating babies and children like this there is something very wrong with you. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Take time for you! Nolite te bastardes carborundum! 🫶🏼

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I'm struggling to contain my anger over the government's handling of the ICE shooting in Dallas - specifically, the refusal to publicly identify three human beings who were killed or seriously wounded These monsters do everything possible to dehumanize refugees. We can't let them get away with it

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Now that we have the votes, Lil' Moses is keeping the House adjourned so the government will shut down to avoid releasing the Epstein files. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

I am not embarrassed. I am pissed at the apathetic voters who stayed home, the compliant media, the uninformed voters, the amnesia voters who ignored his disastrous pandemic performance, and the tech overlords who pushed this goon in favor of their own interests and now look like Wiley Coyote

These events are hyper-coordinated. This was deliberate. #UN www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Releasing a Star Wars trailer like "break glass in case of PR nightmare.'

Two weeks ago, Fitzpatrick said he’d lower premiums. On Friday, Fitzpatrick did the total opposite by voting to let them rise by up to 300%. We can’t forget that Fitzpatrick does what Trump & party bosses tell him when they need him. We deserve real leadership.

This is fascism. This is what fascists do. But once again, when future generations look back and wonder how fascism ever came to America, they will point right to all the fascist’s enablers. They will point to you @WaltDisneyCo, and you @Disney, and you @ABC, and you @ABCNetwork.
