really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Between the hidden Epstein files, Comey's political indictment and the militarisation of Democratic cities, the American rule of law is faltering. AG Bondi, supposed to embody impartial justice, is swept away in a storm threatening the last vestiges of judicial independence. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

A short amble by the river Wear in lunch hour. Saw what I think might’ve been a cormorant fishing in the river, and a couple of waxwings foraging for berries. 😊

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Latinas are paid only 54 cents for every $1 paid to white men. As a proud Latina, I’m fighting to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure that every woman in the workforce has access to the fair and equal pay they deserve. We need equal pay for #Trabajadoras everywhere. Listen to hear more ⬇️

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Took a break from recuperating in bed to talk to Kickstarter workers who are currently on strike. Before I left, I asked for them to share cat pics with me and they have delivered. Cuba is wonderful.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California. I urge anyone in the state to vote yes. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

🏆 How does a comedy show have the best news research team? @thedailyshow.com

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

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.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president. Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

"How To Fight Anti-Science Forces w/ Michael Mann" | My conversation earlier today about my (and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social) new book, #ScienceUnderSiege, with @samseder.bsky.social and @emmavigeland.bsky.social on @majorityreport.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V7u...

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

By looking at his failing health i doubt he's gonna be here,,, www.abcnews.com/politics/pol...,

ICE is a terrorist organization.

The US is deporting a journalist today. Mario Guevara was live streaming ICE atrocities. So they grabbed him. Detained him 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without even letting him say goodbye to his family. The ACLU confirmed he was working in the US legally. #DefendThePress
