Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness. I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

We out here, BK. Nearby 9 PPW? Join us to yell DON’T CAVE CHUCK! His job is not to fold for the MAGA GOP, it’s to FIGHT for us (and you!) Hold the line, @schumer.senate.gov! @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

RIF'd feds need to really consider running in the primaries against these corporate buffoons. Stay angry; get even. #DNCrevolution

Don't have please! Feds have your backs! #publicservice @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov

accusing him of weaponizing the legal system, using it to pursue political enemies while shielding allies and major donors from investigation or accountability. Read what he wrote here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Dems have to fight back, and not pull any punches: sign.moveon.org/petitions/re...

“Describing rapid response networks and neighborhood moms as professional agitators shows just how out of touch these agents are, and how extreme their views are.” — U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis

Because authoritarianism works better with uninformed youth (and adults).

Legit, for the past couple of years Teen Vogue has been one of the very few remaining major titles to publish political commentary that clearly addressed the American cultural descent into madness. Invaluable for young readers, filing a gulf. No wonder it’s being squashed

Hundreds of other AFGE members agree with us. Keep spreading this where you can and keep collecting signatures. We need Congress to hold the line. Solidarity for all, not just some. actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

Exactly right by the Lexington, Rockbridge and Buena Vista Dems about Jason Miyares..."just like Trump, he makes stuff up" (aka, lies) bluevirginia.us/2025/10/fina...

Our data analysis of Xi Jinping’s speeches and writings suggests that China’s leader is more assured and less tentative than ever before—a tough leader to sit across from at a negotiating table. Conversely, Trump's speeches are largely incoherent. www.economist.com/china/2025/1...

We’re going to need a shitload of quicklime

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything. It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in. Long thread.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

Exactly this 💯👇

Here's how differently-abled and disabled folks can join No Kings 2: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

In June, Leah and I closed out the flagship No Kings rally in Philly by leading 100,000 people to recite the Pledge of Allegiance while waving American flags. It's unintentionally revealing how much this regime fears this imagery.

Keep standing strong for healthcare, and thanks. @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

This.

Bravo @chrismurphyct.bsky.social for uplifting this effort. This is leadership in action. Let’s make sure every Senate Democrat knows: we want more of this. #fightingCR #ShutTrumpDown @schumer.senate.gov 👀 No blank checks for lawless power. A CR that funds the status quo is surrender.

🇺🇸 Fed workers across the government are issuing a challenge to Congress: "We call on you to pass nothing less than a fighting CR: a funding bill that not only keeps the lights on, but that also includes statutory protections to rein in executive lawlessness." ✍️ Sign the letter. Spread the word 🔥

Thou shalt not claim to be a champion of free speech out of one side of your mouth whilst crushing free speech out the other.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda. As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:

President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: “Only 3% of the documents given to the [House] Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling.” khanna.house.gov/media/press-...

Indivisibles in DC are protesting Trump’s militarization of their city.

Trump, a Jeffrey Epstein partner, blames Ukraine for being invaded and declares only Zelenskyy can end the war by surrendering and forfeiting Ukrainian territory, natural resources, homes, and more than 30,000 children stolen and trafficked by Russia. Trump stands behind Russia.

Good morning, Reston & Herndon! @democracywriter.bsky.social

Republicans want to rig Congress and gerrymander their way to a permanent majority. If the GOP guts fair maps, blue states can’t just sit back. It’s time for Democrats to fight fire with fire: www.bluestatedefiance.org/redistrictin...

“Both of them.”

It’s been 16 years since Congress raised the minimum wage. Meanwhile, folks are out here trying to survive on $7.25 an hour. In this economy?! I’m standing with my Labor Caucus colleagues to #RaiseTheWage, because $7.25 ain’t cutting it.

In-person, early voting for the 9/9 Special Election in VA11 starts TOMORROW (Friday). Make sure you vote for @JamesWalkinshaw, either early or on 9/9! bluevirginia.us/2025/07/thur...

South Park delivered the biggest beat down to Trump in history

Even some of Trump's biggest media supporters are turning on him over the Epstein cover-up. app.sosha.ai/s/J14m7r2L
