Will Trump era cause Bivens fix?

Massie: "I would remind my Republican colleagues who are decided how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement, but by 2030, he's not gonna be the president and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release those files."

Marjorie Taylor Greene should not be fighting Trump more than Democrats

Jeffrey Epstein to Lawrence Summers (both of whom are very bad people): “i have met some very bad people , none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body. so yes- dangerous”

Media standards: 1) No Democratic scandal on par with Trump-Epstein, so it’d be biased and unfair to five it much attention. 2) Trump wouldn’t be shamed into resigning and his cult of personality wouldn’t abandon him, so Trump-Epstein wasn’t worth pursuing. Way too many think that’s journalism.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

I just voted NO on the bill that fails to prevent the looming health care crisis and fails to rein in Trump’s lawless actions, but I won’t give up — and I urge the American people to stay in the fight despite this disappointing outcome.

Just a quick reminder that Georgia Democrats won our first non-federal statewide seats since 2006 on Tuesday by a margin of *25 points* Twenty- Five Points

If anyone is wondering how it feels in Georgia tonight, the answer is: good

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

12% of Americans will lose access to food resources when SNAP benefits expire in 8 days

Ed Luce watching democracy die in the United States of America

Corollary to this is: the ultimate weakness of all the trauma-burdened MAGA guys is that they will have nothing compelling left to say when emotionally well-adjusted Democrats acknowledge their failures and chart a new course - MAGA is incapable of the same

Increasingly clear that Dems accepted Biden as the way out in 2020 primarily because of the false belief Trumpism was a blip to be weathered like a storm - now, Dem elites/insiders starting to understand it’s a persistent alternative to Democratic failure to innovate or be bold

Re: this and the optics of demolishing the White House, I think it is fair to say that Trumpist political forces can’t help but self-sabotage at some point because 1) their whole thing is to break taboos and 2) the fix is never quite enough

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries. Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

Still thinking about this

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Taking my own advice to not be afraid of cringe, I think there’s something interesting about how Trump’s counter to millions of people marching in the streets against him was … AI generated videos. Images, stripped of humanity, isolated from and even hostile to the outside world

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Hot take: I’m not sure there’s a limit to how long the Republicans will endure the shutdown. They’re steeped in decades of conspiracy theory and anti-government messaging. The difference we’re seeing is Democrats starting to play hardball (for once). Honestly don’t know how long it will last.

BREAKING: Judge Illston says she is expanding her TRO blocking shutdown RIFs as to any AFSCME and AFL-CIO members or bargaining units to include NFFE, SEIU, and NAGE union members or bargaining units AND any members/units removed under EO 14251 whose removal is subject to legal dispute.

It's really important for Americans to understand right now that dismantling democracy isn't a thing that you wave a magic wand and make happen. It's a process. It's a fight. It's a fight you choose when you're worried about losing, and it's a fight you're not guaranteed to win.

A sort of side quest I’ve got is for the American public, in perpetuity, to word-associate “Vance” with “Hitler”

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets. Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away. We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

JD was in his 30s when he texted me that Trump might be America’s Hitler

These are the same guys that wither when people call them fascists or authoritarians. But *this* is the kind of inflammatory rhetoric that risks causing political violence

Nothing more popular in Georgia right now than a “sea of data centers”

To want to be liked, so badly

President Obama can pronounce my name however he wants 😂 Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social for your kind words.

Sara is a farmer from Covington, Georgia. Her monthly health care premiums for her and her husband will TRIPLE in 2026. I'm voting for legislation to reopen the government AND fund health care. I'm calling on my Republican colleagues to join me.

ICE is a black hole

There is almost no one doing it like Chris Van Hollen is right now

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.  Looking forward to No Kings Day.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Honestly kind of amazing how publicly stressed they seem to be about this protest. I’m used to big demos being ignored or co-opted. Almost like this is unpopular personalist regime knows how brittle it is!

There is no insurrection in Portland unless you consider an uptick of people wearing inflatable frog costumes an insurrection. No one is falling for this absurd propaganda, and there is NO justification for deploying our troops against peaceful American citizens.

Relying on yard signs

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious. Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.” “That sounds terrible.” “What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

People are not pawns. The latest CDC layoffs are another example of this Administration going after our health—this time by firing scientists working to prevent chronic & respiratory disease. I’m working to reopen the gvt, reverse these reckless cuts, & fund health care.

these guys haaaaaaate free speech

I hope generations of children someday are taught about the cowardice of men like Buddy Carter during this time

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

News footage from Portland shows a calm, tranquil city. But an AI video that Stephen Miller texted to Donald Trump shows the city as a burning hellhole. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

Could not be more clear the president wishes he had unilateral power to imprison people, like in an absolute monarchy He doesn’t so instead he’s forcing the govt to bring charges against his enemies because he wants vengeance Nakedly corrupt, the sort of thing that necessitates removal from office

Gonna be up to judges and juries to hold the line.

This very morning on Newsmax, I heard a Republican elected say: 1) requiring transparency in hospital costs (not even a bill to regulate those costs!) and 2) regulating pharmacy benefit managers. That’s the big R plan on healthcare! Doesn’t do much for people who can’t afford 4-figure premiums
