My on the record quote: "My law firm and I are still not tired of winning.😎" www.democracydocket.com/cases/texas-...

From Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, we’re saying “We Ain’t Buying It” and asking Americans to hit pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=ind_wabi

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

The cat isn't fully out of the bag yet, but its head is and it is looking around -- and it isn't happy.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Came across this and it brought some misty eyes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Im...

Billie Eilish asked the right question: If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Rick Wilson on MSNBC: Democrats can win everywhere—rural, suburban, and urban—if they stop chasing purity tests and start focusing on affordability and economic reality.

US President yesterday: "I don't want to hear about affordability." I learned long ago - document, document, document. 💁‍♀️ 11.09.2024 v 11.07.2025 (Federal family though, so no Thanksgiving dinner for us this year because Trump is in the Epstein Files & 2025 is all fun.😠) @hcrichardson.bsky.social

This encapsulates so much….

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Amarillo is one of the reddest towns in Texas. But I showed up because our campaign is not writing off any community. It was standing room only.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

I think it’s funny that establishment Democrats are like “Oh my God, how could Mamdani win?” My 13 year-old daughter lives in a town of 480 people surrounded by cornfields. She can spell his name and knows his platform because of a viral TikTok. Don’t sleep on the young folks.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

They’re counting on you to sit this one out. Don’t give them what they want. Get loud with your ballot. Drop it off today or hit the polls tomorrow ASAP. #CAVoteYesProp50

The most spectacular costume of 2025? That honor belongs to…

This is Marc Elias telling us in plain English how the DT regime is going to TRY to rig the midterms. And how we can stop him youtu.be/cEKnZlsFkFE?...

well said

As health insurance premiums are set to double for millions of Americans and 42 million working families face losing the benefits that keep them fed, the No Kings Alliance is organizing to provide mutual aid and care for our communities. Please join us this weekend: www.mobilize.us/nokings/c/no...

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

We're gonna elect president (No more kings!) He's gonna do what the people want (No more kings!) We're gonna run things our way (No more kings!) Noboyd's going to tell us what to do (No more kings!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R1t...

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

This.

Great to have @hcrichardson.bsky.social be a guest on a pod, giving greater insight into her opinions. Thanks to her and Prof G. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVV1...

Defend democracy right now--there are 52,000 elections in 2 weeks, in 2025. Voting rules for 2026 in Maine; PA Supreme Court makeup; NJ and VA Gov and state legislatures; and lots more. Off-year elections are all about turnout. Wherever you live, help get out the vote. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs. Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

We can probably agree too many politicians are corrupt and self serving. This one is not. Have a listen. Senator Andy Kim and @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/TKr5hGe...

Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

“Nothing will be torn down.” — Karoline Leavitt “It won’t interfere with the current building. It pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of.” — Donald Trump

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice. He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education. What kind of person abandons kids with special needs?

My latest free newsletter includes lots of photos from last weekend's No Kings rallies -- including our own photo from Boston seen below. It was a great day! #NoKings davelelacheur.substack.com/p/synthesizi...

I think he’s building a fortified bunker.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

The latest issue of my free weekly newsletter, Synthesizing Sense, came out a few days ago. It has my favorite photos from No Kings, the first of which ("LOVE") was taken by us in Boston -- what a day! Please have a look & subscribe. davelelacheur.substack.com/p/synthesizi...

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
