🚨BREAKING: In a powerful reproach to President Donald Trump, the Indiana Senate voted against a mid-decade redistricting that would have gerrymandered the state’s congressional maps. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says it’s readying to sue Georgia, a key GOP-led swing state, after being told to “pound sand” over the issue. Other red states have expressed “serious concerns” about handing over the voter data, a top DOJ official revealed.

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE “agents”. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

Science is hard. You gotta prove it, test it, and reproduce the results. Pseudoscience is easy. You make it up, add some fear, and watch ignorant people spread it.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

I personally do not care how many people I make mad. We need to emulate the Indigenous culture.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

Shameful, @paramountnewsbr.bsky.social

First hummer of the day. The colors of my bougainvillea and this male Anna’s hummingbird look so pretty in the muted 5:30 AM light.

Before I go into today's dystopian nightmare, let's take a minute to bring down your blood pressure. Here is one of my favorite creatures, the #RedPanda. Enjoy. #nature #animals

What’s left the “Department of Education” put up a website for people to TURN IN teachers and schools for “DEI” It’s an open form with a button for uploads. Perhaps we should FLOOD IT so MAGA jerk offs can’t get through with their perceived “DEI tips” youtu.be/2rLXwT3awqc?...

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

HARD FACT: The only person on the #SignalGate chain with any integrity is Jeffrey Goldberg.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting. At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

What a different world we could have.

A lot of people are going to die from this

A party that fears its own voters

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

👀 “I understand my duty as a prosecutor to mean enforcing the law impartially, and that includes prosecuting a validly returned indictment regardless whether its dismissal would be politically advantageous, to the defendant or to those who appointed me.” - Former Acting USA, SDNY Danielle Sassoon.

Having to fight Elon Musk at DOGE before we’ve even battled Trump feels like having to defeat the forces of Saruman first at Helm’s Deep.

Quick reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a figment of President Musks imagination and has no power, and isn’t an agency

If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding

I’m excited for fake agency DOGE to get to the Space X and Tesla contracts worth billions. That will save a ton!

At this very moment, disturbed, mentally and psychologically unstable men and women, some having documented close relationships with some of the most evil people on the planet are tearing everything your uncles, grandfathers, grandmothers, sisters, brother, fathers, mothers, cousins, nephews 1/4

The clearest explanation of tariffs I’ve ever heard

The unelected, not-Senate-confirmed, not-security-cleared, not even actually employed by the US government techbros of Musk's weird militia are conducting a coup one agency at a time.

To be clear, I wrote the first version of Death of Expertise before Trump was even a candidate. We never thought of putting him on the cover because it's not about him - it's about all of us.

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.

If anything, RFK, Jr. permanently ended impostor syndrome. After today, no one should ever feel unqualified for anything, ever.

There's already too few Rangers in the park. Dangerously few. Trump wants to cut $587 million from the NPS budget. (17%). This means our national parks will be even more vulnerable to poaching. Get in this fight and help us defend our parks Follow us at @altyellonatpark.org Retweet & Repeat

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term, And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Putting Tulsi Gabbard in charge of our intelligence services is like putting a convicted felon, rapist and reality TV star in charge of our whole coun—oh, never mind.
