In last night‘s post, I concluded that we really are making progress; that Trump is losing ground. Just now, the House voted the first limitations on his war powers. Let’s keep going joycevance.substack.com/p/if-you-tho...

Nixon's executive branch goons thought they were untouchable while committing crimes for Nixon. And when Nixon fell from power, 48 of them were criminally convicted & 30 went to prison. Beginning in January 2029, those numbers will pale in comparison to what's coming for Trump's criminal cabal.

@joshturek4iowa.bsky.social: "Every single one of his policies has been faux populism. The Trump tax cuts 85% going to the wealthiest Americans. Here in Iowa, we have 110,000 Iowans losing their health care.. We've moved into this second Gilded Age of haves and have-nots."

Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

It’s time for DC to fight back!

14 Days Until the DC Primary! Yesterday I met a woman who said one of our leaders' priorities should be creating opportunities for kids to be productive after school to keep kids out of trouble.

Not surprised. From the article: "New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story," Pelley wrote. "I've been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them."

Anyone who says they were “betrayed” by Donald Trump is a moron because it was obvious he was full of it the day he came down the escalator.

@ammarcampanajjar.bsky.social: "I've talked to staunch Republicans who have said to me a very powerful thing: Donald Trump lied to me. He promised no more wars and lower costs, and he's done the complete opposite. They feel betrayed.”

Hello Judy, I love that! Enjoy your day 🌤️☕

Scott Pelley, a veteran 60 Minutes correspondent, was fired a day after taking aim at Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss’s leadership during a staff meeting for the show. Pelley received notice that he was being terminated for cause, effective immediately. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Wow. Watch the fascism of the Epstein class work

New Jersey has sued the private operator of the Delaney Hall ICE detention center, seeking access for health inspectors amid allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions. The lawsuit adds to growing scrutiny of ICE detention practices. #Immigration #NewJersey www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Statehood/voting rights for the people of DC is, at its core a CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE! Kinney Zalesne @kinney4dc.bsky.social is the BEST candidate in the DC delegate race to build a coalition in Congress to GET THIS DONE! Importantly, @ericholder.bsky.social has endorsed @KinneyForCongress

Kinney Zalesne's vision for Washington, DC, recognizes that the City of Service leads with service to the country and to the people in every neighborhood, with “We the People” in its DNA. Vote Kinney Zalesne! #JusticeMatters

The US is now spending more on construction for data centers than public transportation infrastructure. Data centers contribute to higher electricity costs and air pollution —all while enriching a handful of Big Tech CEOs. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop them?

I sat down with @briantylercohen.bsky.social and @glennkirschner.bsky.social to discuss my campaign for DC Delegate, the vitalness of DC Statehood, and the many ways the Trump administration is attacking our capital and its people. Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/fTYR6tLUEFA?...

The real harm isn't from peaceful protests — but the brutality of the Trump administration's ICE raids and inhumane immigration detention centers. New Jersey’s response to protestors at Delaney Hall must prioritize the safety and well-being of everyone.

The fund was actually put on hold by a judge. Republicans in Congress have yet to get ANY kind of guarantee Trump will drop the fund permanently. www.reuters.com/world/trumps...

Kaine grills Rubio on the "targeting criteria" for blowing up boats around the Caribbean, which Kaine says don't include the actual presence of narcotics on boats

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

Wondering how Trump follows up to yesterday’s cave in, given that today is TACO Tuesday.

"The courts continue to let the White House know how this democracy works. It’s become hard to keep track of all of Trump’s losses in court as they continue to add up." @joycewhitevance.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

People throughout American history have fought hard to expand and defend our First Amendment freedoms. As the Trump administration cracks down on dissent and attacks press freedom, we all have a responsibility to protect our free speech rights.
