Call your reps -- blue, red, purple, it doesn't matter -- about the proposed OMB science funding rule. The house can stop this. Let them know it matters for your district.

Colorado governor Polis sets personal veto record in rejecting bills limiting credit card swipe fees, helping firefighters who get cancer | check out The Colorado Sun for excellent local journalism thats independent. @coloradosun.com #Pinks #Vote

Ohio! Dr. Amy Acton is running for Gov! Aren’t you tired of Republican policies (like tariffs) ruining your agricultural communities? Aren’t you tired of paying through the nose for groceries or healthcare because the GOP has made bad decisions? Make a change! Vote for Amy! #ResistanceUnited

Effectively, this is SCOTUS saying that gerrymandering that is blatantly racist in nature—as the district court found on the basis of the factual record—is perfectly okay, provided that it benefits the GOP. bsky.app/profile/chri...

At what point does the antipathy towards the law repeatedly shown by the Leonard Leo crew render the entire Supreme Court null & void? There’s no longer even the pretense of fairness. When do we decide to ignore them? Or do we just continue to let six hateful white nationalists destroy the country?

To the extent SCOTUS is articulating a principle (other than letting the GOP have its way in election cases), it's: a state can do whatever it wants at the last minute to change the rules of an election, & courts can do nothing about it — even with evidence of intentional discrimination.

Shortly after the 2025 elections, I published a list of seven voting laws every blue state should enact. While I stand by all seven, I want to highlight three. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Grateful to the Court for seeing the urgency in my Motion for Preliminary Injunction.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Our “leaders” in Washington are too busy stuffing their own wallets to put any money back in yours. It’s time to ban this blatant corruption.

BREAKING: we are NOT accepting media reports as proof that the $1.8B slush fund & "settlements" associated with it are dead That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org have just filed a new lawsuit to make sure this ENDS --on behalf of former J6 prosecutors with Platkin LLP, WLG & Heaphy Smith

There likely will be a time in the not too distant future when Zohran Mamdani, who struggled to get endorsements from prominent Democrats even after winning the nomination, will be one of the most sought after endorsements for Dem candidates across the country.

The DOJ agreeing to abide by court order pausing the slush fund for 2 weeks is not enough. Besides, do you want a cookie for following a court order? The fund needs to be permanently dissolved, never to be revived. Including the tax audit immunity for Trump and his crotchfruit.

This is somehow evergreen

Democrats have appealed a ruling that refused to block President Donald Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order as the administration moves to carry it out — a major escalation in one of the most consequential voting rights battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

Almost nobody is talking about Section 224 of the 2027 NDAA because it’s buried in legislation no one bothers to read. You need to know: Buried in the defense bill is language calling for deeper integration between the U.S. and Israeli militaries.

CO AG Weiser: I don’t understand Governor Polis’ action to commute the sentence of Tina Peters. She broke the law. She broke her oath of office. She undermined election equipment at a cost of millions of dollars. I prosecuted her along with the Republican district attorney…

Hey, @colorado.gov - you betrayed Colorado as well as the entire nation. Major kompromat or a hefty "donation"...which one was on board for betraying us?

Just completed a congressional oversight visit with members of the New Jersey delegation. Delaney Hall should be shut down. This is not America.

Regarding Tina Peters release… This is how CO should be handling @colorado.gov today:

A round up of this week's @250to250.bsky.social one-minute videos about U.S. History:

Ossoff is the most vulnerable Dem Senator running for reelection. If he can talk like this, in a red state no less, so can every Democrat.

Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social These vignettes are wonderful. Looking forward to Week Two and beyond! open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Rolling Stone nailed it. The level of corruption is off the charts. Trump will go down in history as the worst, most corrupt president ever. His legacy will be greed over country. Shameful.

Well. Thanks to Trump’s economic dumpster fire policies, tomatoes are the new eggs. Tariffs, deporting farm workers, the war in Iran and targeting Mexico = more consumer pain. apnews.com/article/toma...

James Talarico: Ken Paxton is morally unfit for office. He’ll lie to you with a straight face. He’s failed the character test. He’s the most corrupt Attorney General of our lifetime. Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of Ken Paxton’s fellow Republicans.

LWVUS and the League of Women Voters of New Jersey issued a statement in response to a mass hunger and labor strike at Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, NJ. Read here: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

BREAKING: We’re seeking an emergency court order to stop payouts from President Trump’s billion-dollar slush fund. Million-dollar claims are already being submitted, and the danger is no longer hypothetical. We're taking action to block this unlawful scheme before irreversible damage is done.

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

No matter how states try to spin it, intentional discrimination against Black voters is still illegal — and we'll keep fighting it.

Wealth inequality is surging beyond anything ever witnessed in America. A wealth tax is a necessary precondition for addressing this problem — and protecting our democracy. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-logic-of-taxing-great-wealth

These “wedge issues dividing America” are starting to smell more & more like very cheap Astroturf.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.
