"Even here, on the topic of gerrymandering, Bobby Pulido shows a bit of swagger, which is fitting for a music star. It’s also something his party has lacked in recent years." A Latino Democrat who has a chance in Texas:

"pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers buy their own pencils" "never want to hear MAGA claim to believe in freedom ever again. Masked agents of the state random people off the streets into unmarked cars while saying “liberals ruined the country.” bsky.app/profile/maxb...

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Always follow the money.

BREAKING: Trump just forgot when he was president in a press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu.

Two civil rights attorneys who had spoken out against the Trump administration’s efforts to weaken enforcement of the Fair Housing Act were dismissed from their posts. Their work enforcing the Fair Housing Act (a cornerstone of U.S. civil rights) involved investigating and prosecuting landlords,

The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.” Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. Talk about wasteful.

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

Dear Sec. Noem: Last week your spokesperson said this ICE officer’s excessively violent conduct was "unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE." The video evidence hasn’t changed. Does DHS now support ICE agents assaulting women in front of their children?

As an immigrant with a local partner, it’s really shitty when both your host country and home country don’t really want you together. Solidarity to those in binational relationships. Feels like we don’t belong anywhere 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good morning ppl! As we get closer to a shutdown, we finally have the contingency FDA budget plan for carry over services. Hot tip, user fee services are always a carry over because they are not “part of the budget”. Look at what isn’t going to be continuing on. www.hhs.gov/about/budget...

Ohioans cannot afford to lose access to their health care and government services, just so the richest 1% can see a tax cut that is nearly four times the median family income.

Keep on demanding the truth, they’re terrified and hoping they can distract you. #EpsteinFiles

I made a meme! #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles Another headline-grabbing distraction. By sending troops, DJT shifts attention away, AGAIN, from the financial and operational investigations that could expose powerful people and institutions connected to Epstein. It's not just a distraction — it’s a message.

While they have you distracted… (And the top 1% control more than 1/3rd)

Netanyahu is another Evil being. He has so much blood on his hands. I just hope that he experiences what he has done to the people in Palestine! #notofascism

Another way of looking at it

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes. This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

South Korean workers shouldn’t come back while Taco n his Cult r still occupying the WH. It’s not safe for them. #arresttrump

To be clear, Republicans actually do need Democrats to help pass the CR and keep the government open. It takes a 60-vote threshold, and they only have 53 without Democrats. Save healthcare: STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS!

It’s the Gulf of Mexico.

We are in Stafford, VA canvassing for @abigailspanberger.com and @staceycarrollva.bsky.social. Both want to fund public schools, protect your healthcare, guarantee a brighter future for Virginians, and protect your freedoms. Let’s make Virginia bluer and flip these seats. #voteva

Republicans created a healthcare crisis by kicking millions off their insurance and causing millions more to face higher premiums. Now, they'd rather shut down the government than work with Democrats to address the harm they caused. Our communities deserve better.

Maybe it's time to attach strings to the subsidization of red states, like critical reasoning taught in all grades, more civics classes, and higher pay for better-credentialed teachers -- not out of largesse but to protect the rest of us. #enlightenedselfinterest

Yes.
