For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

My friend @donlemonofficial.bsky.social is being arraigned on absurd federal charges in Minneapolis/St. Paul this afternoon so I'll fill-in host, joined by some amazing guests, from 3-4 pm ET! Join me here: www.youtube.com/@TheDonLemon...

Pam Bondi didn’t show up to serve the public, she showed up to perform for Donald Trump. I break it down in my new essay.

I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽‍♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

Today, I presented a symbolic check of $500,000 to Harris County Constable Precinct 7. I am proud to secure this funding to combat human trafficking through prevention, survivor services, and enforcement. The federal funds will be officially released through the grant process.

The SAVE Act would require Americans to show a passport or birth certificate in person just to register to vote. Millions of Americans don’t have access to these documents. This is voter suppression, plain and simple. Call your senators to urge them to vote no: (202) 224-3121

An open message to all tech bros; Do not shove your ai nonsense into our lives. If we want to use your technology for something, we will. If not, get out of the way!

A delightful break from the (gestures wildly in all directions) horror and chaos 🙏🐑

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The New York Times just launched a new "newsletter about the law and the courts." They are calling it "The Docket." The Times may not care that Democracy Docket has been publishing "On the Docket" and "Daily Docket" for years, but I believe our 400,000 subscribers might. More on this tomorrow.

Finally.

Minnesota’s economy runs on the strength of our small businesses. I’m proposing $10 million in direct relief to help businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge stabilize, protect jobs, and get back on solid footing.

This is really, really dark. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

A beautiful warm & dry one so took #DailyZiggy for an hour+ morning romp on the beach. So many Zoomies that he even had enough patience for some quiet posing at the ½ way mark! #SouthBeachGreystonesIE #DogsOfBkueSky

Judge Boasberg has ordered the administration to either return to the US or afford the opportunity to proceed in court from abroad, whichever they prefer, men removed from the country without due process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today’s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.

An incredibly touching piece on the Kennedy Center from @sonnybunch.bsky.social for the @thebulwark.com.

I haven’t watched the entire hearing— I think they broke for lunch, but nearly all the @democrats-judiciary.house.gov members did this as well. Bondi’s consciousness of guilt traveled alongside her into that hearing — it clearly visible in her expressions and body movements. She cracked up

“Vandervelden’s presence in the federal courtroom yesterday, along with another Pirro-appointed special counsel Carlton Davis, is one of multiple elements that former prosecutors considered highly unusual about the Trump Justice Dept pursuit of criminal charges against the sitting lawmakers.”

@meidastouch.com reported at Hearing: 'Jayapal then asked Bondi to turn around and apologize to the survivors for what her Department of Justice had put them through with the chaotic and irresponsible handling of the Epstein files. Bondi refused. She would not even turn around to acknowledge them.'

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”

While fringe MAGA world tuned in to Kid Rock singing about strippers, the rest of America watched Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga celebrate marriage, family, and the full diversity of American Catholicism at the Super Bowl.

Here’s the article by Robert Reich which outlines the corporations & banks investing in DHS & for-profit prisons: substack.com/home/post/p-...

I couldn’t find my own reskeet, but here’s a screenshot by another account: bsky.app/profile/lind...

This is what I mean by the corrupt DHS

Susan is correct. Independent Investigators w/resources, investigate all of these warehouses, the sellers, & follow the money. We need to name & shame the owners, corporations & banks that are aiding & abetting the American Concentration Camp industry.

They must be stopped! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Exactly this

This administration is a criminal administration.

Yet another example of an out-of-control President sacrificing the American economy and blocking good infrastructure. It's also a test for Michigan Republicans: will they stand up for what's right, even when it means breaking with Trump?

In the least shocking news ever, the DOJ illegally redacted Trump's name from manyEpstein files. [And of course that doesn't count the ones they just didn't release because they are about Trump] www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Read this excellent piece from @weissmann.substack.com www.justsecurity.org/131180/congr...

Khanna: "Here we have a sitting cabinet member, Lutnick, who's all over the files as having a business relationship allegedly and personal relationship alleged after Epstein was convicted. He's allegedly lied about his relationship. And there's no consequence. We need to get real in this country."

Ghislaine Maxwell MUST answer questions, but GOP Rep. James Comer’s performative theater today doesn’t get us there. I've got the latest on Maxwell’s deposition, Congress being able to view selective Epstein Files at DOJ, and Pamela Jo’s upcoming deposition. youtu.be/fLVDj7C7ZtM?...
