NEW: Kansas lawmakers override governor's veto to enact SAVE Kansas Act, which will make it more difficult to register to vote, but easier to get purged. This makes Kansas just the latest state to pass its own version of Trump’s agenda of restricting ballot access and suppressing voter turnout.

Let’s do this California 🗳️ 🐻

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers

Time to donate to Xavier Becerra www.xavierbecerra2026.com

This man needs more attention. He’s talking like someone ready to run the state. Focused on actual solutions for California while the federal government fumbled the basics. Pay attention to Xavier Becerra.

. Breaking: the President is posting things on social media that would get normal Americans banned or arrested. This is not normal. .

Curious why Melania Trump held a surprise press conference yesterday? Now it’s become clear. She was responding to close friend Amanda Ungaro whose husband introduced Melania to Trump, & is threatening to expose what she knows about Epstein, Melania & President Trump - who she called a pedophile.

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...

Remember: The Vatican has had to meet and negotiate with Nazis and Mussolini's reps, so they know from unpleasant and confrontational.

NEW: A federal judge has ordered the DOJ to hand over all it's evidence in the murder of Renee Nicole Good in the next 3 weeks. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level. Are we paying attention? Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.

Gen. Caine and Adm. Cooper should put a statement now making clear the U.S. military will not follow orders that would mean committing war crimes, including military actions whose purpose would be to destroy a country or a civilization.

Every so often—for no particular reason—I feel compelled to post a gift link to the 11,000-word article I published in @theatlantic.com seven years ago about Donald Trump's mental disorders and how they rendered him unfit to serve as president. {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

The world isn’t asking Russia to stop bombing children, it’s asking Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries. Let that sink in. open.substack.com/pub/shaunpin...

What’s going on with Trump right now is exactly what the 25th Amendment is for. Watch this report closely with that in mind. And hear me out… Path is simple: The VP and a majority of the Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment, declare the president unable to discharge the duties of the office, 1/2

Ok my bad, I was the one who said that even if Trump tried he'd never be able to top Bush picking former International Arabian Horse Association executive Michael Brown to run FEMA, this one's on me.

only trump would go on national television to make a case for going to war against a country that’s already beaten us

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Anyway, consider subscribing to my newsletter if you don't already - I've been tracking this story for months and will have more tonight jessica.substack.com

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

This is an excellent summary of current circumstances Kyle Kulinski: “A sundowning president with Alzheimer’s who’s a malignant narcissist is dragging us into WWIII, committing war crimes on a daily basis and crashing the global economy, and nobody is actually grabbing the steering wheel.”

THIS ISN’T JUST DISTURBING. IT’S A WARNING. Jason Selvig of The Good Liars shares what he heard from young folks at CPAC —and it should stop you cold. They’re moving on from Trump. But they didn’t reject him, they absorbed him. He normalized white nationalism.

BREAKING: DHS Office of Legal Counsel penned a "memo" justifying entering our homes without a warrant. I'm suing to get that memo, because what? I'll share it with you first in about 30 minutes on the @meidastouch.com channel here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

Finally. They watched women's rights get trampled, they watched trans rights destroyed, they watched the environment get boiled, and that was all fine with dudes. But now there are rumors of a military draft and suddenly we got their attention.

Far-right tech oligarchs have the most pathetic ideology. They hate minorities, except when they are coding for them. They want no taxes, no rules, and absolutely no democracy. There is no grand vision for society, just raw greed and a relentless pursuit of personal interests

at some point we're going to need to hold fox news accountable for directing gop policy for the last 25 years

Don’t care how red your area/state is. We’re in an environment where shocking results are possible anywhere. Now you might not be able to flip a Sen seat in OK or a Gov seat in WV. But you might flip mayors, town councils, county legislatures, etc. Get involved locally, no matter where you are.

Walz: What happened in Minnesota and the absolute horrific assault on this state, if this happened in another country, it wasn't that long ago that the US would investigate those things. We're going to do that.

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

We have known this for a while, but the evidence is becoming more and more damning. Putin is helping Iran try to kill US forces. And Trump is protecting and helping Putin at the same time. MAGA is perverse. kyivindependent.com/russia-sendi...

Lindsey Graham has a secret.

Breaking WaPo: Trump showed a classified map he retained from his first term in office to passengers on a 2022 private plane flight and retained another record so sensitive that only six high-ranking government officials had access to it, according to a prosecution memo released to Congress.
