Let me see more and more distancing from Republicans and I may actually believe this horror (vs so many others) could stick.

The discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files only received a handful of GOP votes. But when we get the actual vote to release them, I'm presuming we'll see a whole lot more, right? "Congressman _____ voted against releasing the Epstein Files" isn't an ad you want before the midterms

Trump’s military takeover of US cities has already cost taxpayers nearly $500M

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. 🫶

Cave once, and history will make you pay twice.

Exactly right

VOTE THEM OUT

Trump working hard to lower food, rent, and energy prices today

“…the worse it gets for him, the more obvious it is that he’s losing, the more desperate and extreme he gets. That means we can’t sit back and relax, counting the days until the midterms and a beautiful blue wave. We need to maintain our sense of urgency.” www.americaamerica.news/p/a-punch-in...

Watch what is happening in classrooms, churches, do you think your events won't be perfect targets for Goon Squad stunts?

It seems obvious that the continued House absence/abdication of its duty to govern and government shutdown stalemate is ALSO about political manipulation of elections in VA, NJ, NY, and CA. Delay is MAGA's #1 tactic with bad news and election timing.

Every last one of these ICE officers belongs in prison for this. Hold them accountable!

The local news is especially Orwellian 🤖😵‍💫

1/ This week, SCOTUS will hear Trump’s tariffs case, arguably one of the most important all term. It’s important to understand that this is not a case about tariffs in general or whether they are good policy. It’s about whether Trump had the authority to impose them.

Wondering if this means they are planning to do something extreme and scared of the fallout. 🤔

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

For what it's worth, I had ChatGPT fact check the 60 Minutes interview.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

THIS. Document, document, document.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

VOTE BLUE

TACO is NOT building a ballroom. He is building a bunker. Booze Allen is not an architecture firm. It’s a defense contractor.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇 "Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

We’re sharing this because everyone claimed Project 2025 wasn’t real, yet here we are. Trump has also been talking more openly about a third term, and Steve Bannon said there’s a group actively working on it turns out, there might be one.

Relatedly, this is a great piece by @donmoyn.bsky.social using Trump's paying of troops as a window into why Republicans should not be okay with Trump completely sidelining their power: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-risks-...

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

Despicable!

A tiny sample of the free speech flowing at the #NoKings rally in DC

"They will label your kindness as treachery and your generosity as terrorism. They will call your compassion a crime." As always when reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, I learn something, get infuriated and then motivated. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

and now for other corruption news: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days. Epstein Shutdown.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

#Document moments of tension between protesting Americans & constitution breaking hostile action.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

The shutdown is not about healthcare It's about the possible end of our democracy kurtkroemer.substack.com/p/the-shutdo...

If they allow this, we are no longer a nation of laws.

BREAKING: A librarian fired by in Campbell County, Wyoming, for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from shelves just got the last laugh – a $700,000 settlement for violating her first amendment rights. 👏 May this be a warning across the nation.

I want to see Congress flipped and even if we don't get the necessary votes in the Senate to convict... I want to see daily impeachments. Because damn, there are daily impeachable acts.
