behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

The polling is clear: Republicans are to blame for this government shutdown. The American people understand that Democrats fighting to prevent their health care premiums from doubling and even tripling is a battle worth having. Democrats in Congress are finally doing something right.

A federal judge in Oregon has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland.

Just an FYI: We’re not facing a “government shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

I can’t get over this. Trump bailed out Argentina farmers with $20 billion of our tax dollars, then China turned around and bought soybeans from them instead of US farmers. Not AMERICA FIRST, America got played.

Well, THIS is America now. Not apple pie, not baseball, not honor, not decency. America is: zip-tying a toddler Zip-tying a toddler's little hands behind his little back, in the cold, with no one to protect him. America: you should be weeping with rage.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

🚨NEW: Kerry Kennedy has announced Late Show Host Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. REPOST to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

This is a blatant violation of 1st Amendment rights. Gooding v. Wilson 1972 and Lewis v. City of New Orleans 1974 established that criticizing law enforcement is protected free speech. This woman posed no threat to the agent, aside from a bruised ego. If he can’t handle that he can’t do the job.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I would like to see the orange traitor take that test.

The obscene face of Christian Nationalism: outlandish untaxed wealth in defiance of Jesus. Oh, and this time, slave laborers, too! Glory! Just remember, for any money you give to Heaven, there is always a 100% handling fee here on Earth.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

ICYMI: This week, Sen. Blumenthal (D-CT) and Rep. Goldman (D-NY) intro'd the PREVENTING POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS ACT which would enact grand jury reforms, create right of action agnst officials who engage in political prosecution, prohibit WH-DOJ instruction, and more, per Blumenthal's office.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Hurting their own

ICE fuckin maced my frog boy that I posted the other day. 😡

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people. To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

Kat Abughazaleh: "Kristi Noem should have consequences - she should be tried at The Hague. What we are seeing from her operation are crimes against humanity. If this is what ICE operations entail, they should not be an agency in the United States."

The chances of us even having another election, or an election where they honor the true results, appear to be dwindling by the day.

Oh no MAGA! Look at the Antifa Frog in Portland, Oregon. Is this really what you guys consider to be “domestic terrorists?”

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes...Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared..." ~ Anne Frank

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found. At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize. California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Breaking on MSNBC: An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey. This news was first reported by Reuters.

Fox News reporter to Mike Johnson: "How can you say 'they take no pleasure in this,' and then the next minute say, 'Oh, they're just having fun and trolling?'"

The GOP(140 former Trump staffers) and the Heritage Foundation started working on Project 2025 in 2022. One thing has become painfully clear: democrats were not working just as hard creating a plan to hold Trump accountable, or to derail Project 2025…should they fail to hold him accountable.

Wow. This really says it all.

Just like all of you I’m tired. Tired of all the lies and bullshit. Yet, I get up everyday with a renewed purpose to keep fighting. Just like you do. Don’t despair people. We must stay together and lift each other up.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

We've created a culture where being the most annoying shit possible attracts the most annoying shit yes men to tell you how great you are, and that is somehow extremely appealing to people who crave validation.

Hi good morning Tom Homan should be in jail

I still can’t wrap my head around this—mayors of American cities are holding meetings, not about natural disasters or crime waves, but about how to shield their own citizens from the President of the United States. And somehow, we’re supposed to act like this is normal. It’s not. It’s madness.
