He's right, and it's not just Brazil. Around the world, at least 31 democratic leaders who committed similar crimes have been jailed or banned from office since 2010. The failure to hold Trump accountable in the US was a unique and systemic failure of our institutions and political culture.

Wowza. “Here’s what caught my attention: the files were stored on a shared drive that anyone in the division could access. Normally, access is only granted to those working on a project, but because of the hurried nature of the exercise, the usual permission restrictions were not in place. …”

The “anti-ESG movement,” so-called, maps astonishingly well with fossil fuel political money and influence. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"The optics are hard to ignore: a top-rated show, led by one of Trump’s most vocal critics, axed just weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit with Trump and began courting conservative media figures for leadership roles," @passantino.bsky.social writes. www.status.news/p/colbert-ca...

My colleague at @ucs.org, @kathymulvey.bsky.social, wrote an excellent article published in The Hill discussing Big Oil's role in spreading climate change misinformation, despite the fact that they knew about it since the 1970s.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

We are extremely grateful to have both the law and a wonderful attorney on our side. @yaelbromberg.bsky.social

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

1/2 An article to read. Our campaign has approached this election differently every step of the way to change NJ: 1) supporting primaries in Assembly to change NJ accountability 2) transparency to Lieutenant Governor Early so you know an administration njdemocrat.substack.com/p/steve-fulo...

1/4 Leadership in NJ needs to do more than press releases that complain about Trump. There are actionable steps that NJ leadership should be taking around education beyond press releases to protect our schools www.northjersey.com/story/news/e...

Today, Our team is out working statewide - door by door - every single day. #DemocratsForChange

A wide ranging interview w/ @DavidCruzNJ - please take some time and listen - governors are the front line and this election will set the tone for what NJ will be over the next 4 years. Vision, plans and substance matter in this election www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGlP...

America’s raging inequality is on display. The corrupting power of wealth and giant corporations has never been more clear. Billionaires are running Washington and unleashing a tsunami of big money and legalized bribery. Serious question: Where the hell are the Democrats?

Running again for Merchantville Democratic Committee with a wonderful team — Dorothy Foley, Amanda Nora-Tennant, and Mike Rucker are joining me this year. Filed our petitions this morning! Vote in the primary on June 10.

Finally: @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social must pass the #ImmigrantTrustAct NOW. As our communities face an unprecedented level of threat, NJ must act to ensure that our State resources can't be used to support the mass detention & deportation machine. We need our legislators to fight back with us.

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

In America an ugly chapter has begun. We understand that this is our time to stand for our principles -no matter the cost. We see fear-we see cowardice. And we see courage too. This moment calls for moral fortitude & clarity. We are wide awake now. Our best selves are rising to meet the moment.

I don't know about you, but I would most definitely announce a $3500 a head fundraiser for a guy whose RICO charges were dismissed less than a week ago. H/t @mattfriedmannj.bsky.social

No collusion! Witch hunt! Political persecution prosecution! Totally innocent!

Yet another fire at an EMR facility in Camden. They have three in close proximity to each other. Our own @dstahl01.bsky.social wrote this almost two years ago, after attending a public hearing for an air permit application medium.com/sj-advance/s...

Our statement on the dismissal of charges against George Norcross is below

actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... Those in the Phila-South Jersey area may have seen the smoke Friday from the EMR scrapyard fire in Camden. This business has had six major fires in recent years, but never seems to be held accountable. Please consider signing our petition (and pass it along).
