"You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns," the president said in response to a question from PBS News' Liz Landers. Jan 27, 2026 1:44 PM EST That's it. That's the whole ballgame.

Is there any evidence, besides a single tweet and photo of a plane aisle, that Ted Cruz is fleeing Texas right before another major winter storm? I'd like to shout from the rooftops, but that's pretty flimsy so far.

So, how many will wake up now? Or will it still be a "hoax?"

Start sending messages now for the (hopefully) December vote. Simple like, “I look forward to your yes vote to pass the extension of ACA premium subsidies that roughly 3/4ths of the country support.” Use/share this spreadsheet (bit.ly/Nokings) as a resource to hold Congress accountable to the vote.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Many Americans are hurting right now because of the shutdown, but caving to Republicans won’t end the hurt. Trump and his lapdogs continue to assert that they alone have the power to slash whatever programs they don’t like. Deals with this regime are meaningless.

Seems relevant today.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

No health care, no deal.

Also this would certainly help to ameliorate the current housing crisis in the city (PS: No one's moving)

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Anyone who would so nonchalantly tear down a huge chunk of the White House would sell ANY and all top secret information to any foreign power.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

Fuck these people for being cowards

Trump: “I don't think we're gonna ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.” What. The. Fuck?

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

The tyrant tears the People's house down to raise a hall of mirrors. This is not a remodel, it’s an assault. The unmasking of a king. Our country is asleep while the echo of a republic bleeds out beneath the ballroom floor. These images should enrage every patriotic American.

Trump’s Department of Education actively collaborates w/ Moms for Liberty. Asked “what % of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward,” Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice told ProPublica: “‘I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.’” 1/ www.propublica.org/article/educ...

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

Hey, you know what's awesome? CNN is actually covering the crap out of this today. #NoKings

Marching

Massive crowd at the No Kings rally in Boston.

It has to be said - again and out loud - that it’s Republicans in Congress who’ve unshackled him.

Thinking of this tonight. Worth watching to the end.

#NoKings Miami!

Wow, lots of American flags and peace . Sure doesn’t seem like people who hate America you absolute embarrassment Speaker Johnson

An ICE agent arrested for drunk driving with his kids in the car tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers (“Are you Haitian?”) These are the agents Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem are hiring to carry out their cruel immigration policies

James Talarico: I don’t see politics as left vs. right. I see it as top vs. bottom. The billionaires are hurting all of us. They’re closing our schools, gutting our health care, raising our taxes... I hope to build a movement across divides to take power back for working people

The entire American economy is being held hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the economy works

Be there...

Money over Integrity!

It is mass resignation time at DOJ. Don‘t be complicit. These goons are largely incompetent and the authoritarian takeover will fail if they have to run things on their own.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50. This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I can't even with this...

Susan Collins's stance is indefensible. A quarter million dollars in dark money behind her is indefensible. Reopen the government, reverse the healthcare cuts, ban billionaires buying elections.

Also, and not for nothing, he’s lying

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

So is CNN just straight up carrying water for authoritarians now? I've never seen a network hiccup that still blinks. Or that re-records an interview to take back something the interviewee wasn't ready to claim yet.

Aside from shattering core state sovereignty, it's saying one state's Guard (TX) is somehow more loyal to the national authority than another's (IL). It's treating the latter as something bordering on hostile, or at least alien. One part of the country and its soldiers are more America than another.

Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This, 100% this. All the way. This is the energy we need right now. Until the end. Stay pissed @hankgreen.bsky.social. We need pissed Hank.

James Talarico: We’ve become the party of the status quo. That’s not the party I signed up for. I have a big problem with the status quo on almost every front. I’m a Democrat because I believe we can change this country to serve working people

Whoaaaaa
