Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation. But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

We are awash in guns as though doused in gasoline.😳😵‍💫😖🤬

RE: detentions: Observe, record, report, arrest, and sue — all the time, everywhere. Also, report all price increases, all the time, everywhere. Flood the zone with “good trouble.” Come on, now.💪💪

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

We are just entering the era of unbounded regrets.😖😔😖😔😖😔

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Trump and his MAGA movement have mastered the art of projection, accusing the left of doing what they themselves have done. But now, Trump has taken that to a new level, becoming the manifestation of an oppressive state that the right has always warned against. So why aren't more sounding the alarm?

Naw if Trumpty Dumpty weren’t in the Epstein Files He would be suing every person who said that he was He has sued 4000 times for so much less

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

No brush, no pencil. Just a typewriter. Artist James, using a 1930s Smith Premier typewriter, typed out this painting. #art #printer #unique #typewriter #illustration

If there’s a national emergency, TRUMP IS THAT EMERGENCY. Make no mistake.

Message for Greg Abbott

Sweet to be included in this classy journal among so many talented writers

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

It's the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, and two things are true at once: The law has never been more under threat, and it's more important than ever to fight for its promise of an equal voice for every citizen.

This keeps happening.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

We are in the center of chaos, and like that of a hurricane, it seems calm to many. There’s no movement out of the center without destruction, which we have come to accept and enjoy as entertainment. The unusual has become usual; surreality, reality.

BREAKING: An Illinois county removed a massive Ten Commandments monument from government property after we sued. This is a victory for religious freedom.

From prosecutor to senator to vice president, Kamala Harris has always been for the people. I know her next chapter will be no different, whatever shape it takes.

So important.

If it comes from DonOLD Trump, it is pure UNADULTERATED Bullshit and NOT worth the time to read!... Full 🛑!... This is what the MORON/PEDO Monster spends OUR Taxpayers Money on -- Golf and Texting all damn day -- Day in and Day Out!

Who else agrees Kamala Harris would've absolutely, without a doubt, been a better president? #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies

total mentions on Fox Business yesterday: Obama -- 101 Epstein -- 5

The irony of Trump usurping the power of Republicans in Congress and the independence of federal agencies like the DOJ is that any attempt to stop or delay the release of Epstein files only adds to the appearance of a cover up. Trump is being hoisted on his own petard.

That’s the spirit. Call it what it is.

BREAKING: We just subpoenaed the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault, I know the pain & trauma survivors carry. This subpoena is a massive victory for every survivor who has ever been silenced, dismissed, or harmed. Bondi must release the files immediately. We demand accountability.

1/3 🧵 Nancy Pelosi called the Epstein issue a distraction, and "off-subject." Pelosi's wrong here. Epstein isn’t “off-subject”...it’s exactly the subject. If the people funding your government have kompromat hanging over them, every budget line is suspect.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Last year, the FTC banned two Big Oil executives from serving on the boards of oil giants Exxon and Chevron after it found they colluded to fix gas prices. Trump’s FTC just overturned that ban. His regime is rubber-stamping corporate corruption.

Trump has finally lost it completely 🤪🤪🤪. 25th 47.

Imagine if I told you 3 months ago that in July, Musk was going to be taunting Trump every day suggesting he’s a pedo and Trump would be suing Rupert Murdoch after he published incriminating evidence about it.

Every single SC Republican in Congress, Graham, Scott, Mace, Wilson, Biggs, Timmons, Fry & Norman voted for Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” Now 5 rural SC hospitals are at risk and local communities could be stranded without care. They knew. They voted yes anyway. #SCDems

Reproductive rights are under threat in Virginia — and we’re now the only southern state that hasn’t rolled back rights after the Dobbs decision. Our rights are on the ballot this November. As Governor, I’ll work to protect reproductive freedom at every turn.

It’s worth watching. One always wonders when Booker makes these appeals to Republicans, “what’s the point?” But as he goes on and they sit like moths pinned in place by a voice of decency who reminds them who they could be & maybe who they used to be, it becomes clear. substack.com/@lincolnsqua...

I have won the 2025 FREEDOM! Award. It goes to the legislator receiving the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s lowest score. This means I received the HIGHEST score for being an INDEPENDENT, CRITICAL-THINKING LEGISLATOR. CLICK HERE To help me stand up to the extremists: secure.actblue.com/donate/steve...

Maybe the American voters should have taken the Access Hollywood tape more seriously?
