Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less

Taylor Rehmet will be sworn in as the first Democratic State Senator in north Tarrant County since Bill Meier in 1978. This. Is. Big.

This Is HUGE #TurnTexasBlue 💙🔥

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Corporate media is leaving out a big part of the FBI raid on Fulton County election offices. I discuss with @asharangappa.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

The "Freedom" Caucus wants to end your freedom. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The House Freedom Caucus just sent a letter asking Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota cause they didn’t mean *that kind* of “freedom,” ok? (They really did send a letter asking for this)

This judge does the thing quoting the Declaration of Independence at the Trump regime then adds for good measure: "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power & the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds & are bereft of human decency."

You've now posted about Prince Andrew and the owner of the Giants but not *the president of the United States*.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

When anyone from SCTV dies it’s like 30 people have died. Every character they created was as alive as anyone else you’ve ever met.

Homan's message: When we kill you, you have to be especially nice to us. Or else we will keep killing you.

Ian Austin fought for this country. Now he’s been arrested by it—for protesting ICE. “I’m not going to live in fear,” he told us days before federal agents swarmed and detained him.

Our top story: By converting a digital camera to reveal infrared light, photographer Jordan Vonderhaar turns surveillance tech back on itself, with bright foliage highlighting the intensity of Texas' border militarization.

A List of Complaints from 1926 🧵

The American state media attacked President Biden more fiercely over his age whilst he was doing good work than they have with orange felon murdering citizens, arresting journalists, terrorizing immigrants and robbing the country blind. They deliberately failed humanity.

A reasonable person reads the files and says: "Holy shit. We need to put all these criminals in prison forever." Whoever tries to stop you should also be in prison forever. Whatever forces there might be should be questioned. If my superior goes "Tell no one" you TELL EVERYONE AND ARREST HIM TOO

"On the day he was photographed, Liam had been used by faceless, nameless DHS agents to capture his father at his preschool pickup; he was also being used as bait to see if the agents could ambush other members of the family." ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4c7BlVM

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

We are quite literally sitting in the midst of perhaps the greatest coverup of powerful men, around the globe, who are responsible for child rape and sex trafficking — and yet there is a ridiculous pantomime going on about whether any crimes were committed or not, and whether anyone is accountable.

I think we need to revisit this Lutnick interview from October after today’s Epstein files release. His story ain’t adding up. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Anyone who has ever been sexually abused will recognize a lot of these tactics.

This is a long and very quotable piece about one of the more bizarre episodes from the ICE surge in Minneapolis. Read it this weekend. You won’t regret it.

Huh. This entire administration is an Epstein Island afterparty.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

This broke me. I feel sick even posting it. The depravity of half of this country is beyond comprehension. No person with their humanity in tact would continue to stay silent about this. #EpsteinFiles

The current #Republican Party is a front organization for a child rape cult led by the head child rapist. Had enough yet, #America? #TrumpIsARapist

"The endgame is the Insurrection Act....the moment Trump can see a situation in which he feels justified in invoking it, it starts a domino effect that will lead to martial law and the suspension of the 2026 elections." @michaelsteele.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Pod:

Melissa McCoul was a senior lecturer in the English department at Texas A&M University, where she taught contemporary children’s literature. She was terminated from her position without due process after a student filmed a complaint about in-class discussions of gender. Listen to her story.

Every journalist should be posting and writing about this @maddow.bsky.social @ms.now @cnn.com @nytimes.com @motherjones.com @thebulwark.com @meidastouch.com

Arrest him now and make sure what should happen to all rapists happens to him. My god this fucking monster. #TrumpIsARapist

Students at more than 10 San Antonio-area schools held protests this week against the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. bit.ly/3NYych3

Anti-ICE protest in San Antonio www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8X2...

San Antonio joined protestors across Texas and the country in anti-ICE rallies, calling for the dismantling of the federal agency following several high-profile deaths in Minnesota and escalating tactics by ICE officials.

Let's Go Brooklyn Tech!

Europe stood up to Trump over Greenland—and he backed down. Appeasement emboldens bullies. Confrontation constrains them. There’s a lesson here for Europe and for America. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

White evangelicals have HUGE rates of rape, sexual abuse, and child abuse, so much so, churches are one of the most dangerous places for children

We can honor Catherine O'Hara through buying, renting, and streaming her filmography over the next few days, so that the revenue is more than the box office receipts for "Melania" on opening weeken--oh, excuse me... [puts finger to ear] ...okay, yes, I'm being told that's already happened.

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

I doubt it’s a coincidence that Tulsi Gabbard was at the Georgia election office raid and Maduro is in custody. Her presence signals they could fabricate a foreign election interference claim. But not against Russia, of course.

“Not at all” For people out here believing Homan is some sort of savior, and acting like anything anyone in this regime says can be counted on

The thing about this is that I don’t know a single journalist who will be intimidated by Don Lemon being arrested? But, then, that’s not why the administration is doing this. The founders couldn’t have imagined a president violating core freedoms for the purposes of social-media accolades.

I really urge you to not just shake your head at the headline of this but to read each word, to imagine each step these kids took, to sit with the terrible dilemma of the mother, to imagine the principal driving toward Whipple.

Let’s be clear: there may have been “charges” but he was arrested for one reason only, which is that he’s a prominent Black man who used a mainstream media platform to express criticism of Trump.
