Everyone who was wrong about Trump — please say so openly to those who trust you and follow you. You have influence and thus bear responsibility.

Mamdani, a guy who holds no office and has zero scandals, has gotten more scrutiny than the guy tearing up the Constitution every day in the White House.

By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza. There is no moral justification in wreaking vengeance on innocent women, men, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Let’s be clear about what’s really going on over at Target. They’re playing us. The current CEO, will “step down,” but he’s moving up to exec chair of the Board of Directors. That’s rewarding his failure. The new CEO, is the current COO & has been w/Target for 20 years. Nothing’s really changing.

We either have the rule of law, or we don’t. You cannot be for the Constitution while supporting the actions of ICE. There is no in between. Watch the full clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXv6Vxmg4RI

Regarding GAVIN NEWSOME I said this before and I will say it again. ITS WAY TO EARLY for me to decide if I would vote for him as POTUS. WAY TO EARLy. But he is a VOICE we need at this time. ANd Im fine with that. ALSO FINE if any other prominent DEM wants to join in the fight .

A man is detained and taken by ICE in the Columbia Heights neighborhood in D.C. You can hear his only concern is for his newborn child and wife who is bedridden after childbirth and begs them to check to prove he isn’t lying. His pleas fall on deaf ears.

Measles have no place in our communities! Question the tradeoffs: who benefits when proven vaccines are undermined? Access to vaccines is crucial for everyone. #TruthBrigade

Warren: But right now, given what Texas has done, I say to California and Gavin Newsom, well played

Brittany Henderson, an attorney for numerous Epstein victims and survivors:   "Ghislaine Maxwell was federally indicted on two perjury counts … I can't imagine that her testimony will be given much weight by anyone with any knowledge whatsoever of her involvement with Jeffrey Epstein."

Amidst all the distractions this week, has anybody actually stopped to contemplate that the president of the United States encouraged Americans to not think of slavery as “bad?” Have we become that numb?

Warren: Donald Trump and every single Republican in Congress, including 5 Republicans right here in Nebraska voted to say we're take 10 million people, little babies, and grandmas and tell them no more care for you. That's the Republican Party, Donald Trump is building,

I expect major movement in Texas tomorrow. No one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

So let me get this straight. G Maxwell claims that she never saw TRUMP to anything inappropriate. BUT VICTIMS SAY HE DID. SO WHY ARE WE NOT BELIEVING THE VICTIMS OVER A CONVICTED FELON. MATH AINT MATHING

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

Frost: We just heard about 24 hours ago that the judges ruled that Alligator Alcatraz has to shut down… When you don't have all the power you want, you damn well use all the power you got

Despite locals’ health concerns, the Memphis Chamber of Commerce has gone to unusual lengths to promote Elon Musk’s xAI data center, including sending a mailer with inaccurate information. @wendicthomas.bsky.social

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Facts suggest the reverse.

I’ve been around for 77 years & there’s never been anything like the Republican Party turnaround on how it feels about Russia. It’s absolutely mind boggling. And all for fealty to a lunatic. EVERYONE involved should be mortally ashamed.

Fox News falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
