IMPORTANT UPDATE: Thank you to all who called or emailed to complain. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-off...

So it's going to be the tough-as-nails, highly experienced former U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald vs a twice-failed Miss Colorado contestant - who worked in the insurance industry and has never prosecuted anything - in the Comey case? What a time to be alive.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list. “We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

Schools Theaters Concerts Malls Churches Synagogues Mosques Parks Nightclubs Offices Festivals Stores Military Bases Bars Post Offices Yoga Studios Super Bowl parades Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.

It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

🚨BREAKING: Third Circuit STRIKES DOWN Pennsylvania requirement that mail-in ballots that arrive in undated or misdated return envelopes be discarded. Court holds that Constitution requires they be counted. A big victory for our clients DSCC and DCCC and PA voters!

If you’re trying to make it harder for people to vote, stop pretending to give a shit about democracy. Every American - regardless of their political views - deserves to have their voice heard.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Trump nearly falls flat on his face while struggling to walk up the steps to Air Force One today

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

Maybe choosing someone who is one of your NY real estate investor pals with no diplomatic or military experience to be the special envoy to deal with Putin, who refuses to bring any help with him from the State Dept & uses Kremlin translators, wasn’t the best plan to end the war.

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥 Hakeem Jeffries: “I don’t work for you, sir. I work for the American people.”

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

No. Trump is an inveterate liar. His statements should never be put in headlines. News outlets must find out what actually occurred, put that in the headline, and then put Trump statements, with fact checks, at the end of the article. apple.news/AGkI8kRVEQC6...

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

This is the answer. Stand together.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

WOW — Heather Cox Richardson and Jasmine Crockett together?!🔥 Trump started implementing Project 2025 on his first day back in office. I can't imagine two more informed and empowering women to show us how to fight it. I just signed up — join me! social.redwine.blue/s/mTcB1UOf

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

It's ironic that the one person who wasn't supposed to be in that Signal chat that should have never taken place (we know this can't be the only time) handled that information with more respect and professionalism than the leaders of our intelligence departments..

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know: 1. Vaccines work and are safe. 2. Solid fats aren't health foods. 3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat). 4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure. 5. Measles is bad for you.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

If Linda McMahon and the Department of Education believe in "efficiency and accountability" (after laying off half of the department), then I'm sure they'll gladly publish a list of every position that has been eliminated and why that position is no longer needed.

Free Mahmoud Khalil! Pass it on.

Wow…

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
