"Voters have rejected him. Courage is contagious. There are clear signs of the regime cracking and Trump weakening that are right in front of us. I’m encouraged by it, and I think Democrats have to learn that we need to act with greater ambition, because when we challenge Trump, we keep winning."

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

We are up against a murderous fascist regime, an unscrupulous oligarchy, a corrupted DOJ, a cowardly Congress and a supine SCOTUS. We have lost our guard rails, from co-equal branches to the fourth estate. It’s a lot. It’s past time to put all our petty differences aside and band together. …

Incrementalism doesn’t work. I used to be an advocate for it. That was wrong. We can’t chip away at the rot in hopes of laying the ground work for big change later. We have to go in blasting now. Abolish ICE. Raze his ballroom. Defund all his shit. Jail the crooks. Restore America.

Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

whats missing from all the coverage is that the president is using the military to harass, brutalize and punish areas of the country that didnt vote for him

JUST IN: Fed judge in Seattle strikes down several provisions in Trump executive order on election integrity. Judge John Chun (Biden) says the Constitution assigns the president no role in election administration. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Because I'm seeing a lot of unncessary dooming in my various socials on this post, let's get some facts straight: Fact: No matter the circumstances—wartime, so-called “martial law,” or any national crisis—Trump has zero authority to cancel elections. /1

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks. For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

Congress can’t keep calling itself a coequal branch while acting like a spectator. If it won’t defend its constitutional role, this president will gladly take it.

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…” soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Trump's threat to bomb Iran made something clear to me in a way I hadn't yet formulated: His conception of US military force, like his conception of the federal govt, is now entirely personalized. It is a power to be wielded not on behalf of US interests but on behalf of his personal whims.

Just a quick reminder that Jack Smith had 86 witnesses lined up ready to convict Donald Trump, and every one of them were Republicans

I don’t know how long it will take or how much worse it will get, but I believe we will not go down as the generation that let it all slip away. I believe it in my bones. It keeps me going. It keeps me fighting. I hope you believe it too. Bring on 2026. Let’s roll. ——————

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

The President of the United States deleted this photo of the drawer full of photos with himself and Jeffrey Epstein from the DOJ's illegally redacted release of the files last night. We are watching a cover up in real time. This is file 468.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

ATTN MILITARY: That $1776 you’re getting? He’s taking it out of your already approved BHA and putting his name on it. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Momentum is a real thing. Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week. The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown. 1/6

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

The Senate just voted to strip Donald Trump of his power to impose tariffs. Multiple Republicans abandoned him and joined Democrats to shut him down, second night in a row the GOP has turned on him. Trumps grip on his own party is cracking in real time.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

🚨 NOT A DRILL: AI Job Apocalypse People are literally training AI to take their own jobs. It might be too late for a lot of us, but if you’re a student or a parent, this is a must-share and a reason to rethink taking on student debt in a field that may be taken over by artificial intelligence.

If you’re cheering for SNAP cuts because you think it’ll save you money… it won’t. SNAP gives more to the economy than it takes. When people are starving, things fall apart. You’re inflicting suffering on others to make the rich richer and you can’t even see it.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

This is a must watch. Yes it’s A.I., but just watch it.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

I think the ballroom story is gonna mushroom into a much much much much bigger thing. I see the visceral reaction people have towards the videos.

Hey Democratic leadership. Here is the message, and it's the ONLY message. Full stop.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

this is an absolutely wild use of passive voice, where you have to get through layers of narrative to figure out an ICE agent smashed a car window with his gun like an idiot, which went off and shot two people

The entire WH complex is 55,000 square - feet. The ballroom is over 90,000 square feet. And they are destroying a large part of the WH to build it. I hate these people.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

What the fuck are we doing?
