This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook. MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops! ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

BREAKING: Federal judge issues a TRO in the Northern District of Illinois (including Chicago and the Broadview ICE facility), providing protections for protesters and journalists covering the protests. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Some of the key elements:

Fucking legend

The best "Slash: Guitar God" moment was a 6-min solo where he touched god and transitioned into a little number you might've heard. Cell phone audio, plus further social media compression, and Bluesky limits mean this will have to be two posts. But still, like come the fuck on, who does this.

Jeffries: "Mike Johnson and this group continue to cover up for the pedophiles. That's crazy."

How much pain will we allow MAGA Miller-Meeks to inflict on the most vulnerable among us before each of us rises up, says "No more!" and decides to fight back. Join your "we've had enough!" neighbors in the Scott County Dems Fight Back Force here: www.scottcountydems.org/volunteer

If you get called for jury duty, you have to do it

If you're firing pepper balls at a guy in a giant frog costume do you even have the kind of self-awareness and capacity for introspection required to wonder what went wrong with your life?

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just granted an administrative stay preserving the status quo: the Oregon National Guard remains federalized but the president cannot deploy them. We'll share more updates as we have them.

A federal grand jury has refused to indict a Chicago couple arrested during a violent protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview last month, a rare move that prompted prosecutors to abruptly drop the case.

Could be worse. Flight had to make a surprise stop in Cedar Rapids because a guy tried to open the exit door. www.thegazette.com/crime-courts...

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

I have some crow to eat, absolutely did not think the Dems' strategy would work here

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

the problem with "things were always this bad" is that it is rhetoric that exists, specifically and exclusively, to deny the lived reality that Republicans Fucking Make Shit Worse, and it usually comes from a place of "both parties serve the same masters!!" performative, weaponised cynicism

🤼Noted Georgia wrestling fan Jimmy Carter could've theoretically seen everyone from Stanislaus Zbyszko to Adam Priest roll through Atlanta.

If anyone knows any victims of this raid, we’d like to talk to them. Our legal services are all completely free. We’ve got two other cases over ICE raids already. And we just won a Supreme Court case over the FBI raiding the wrong house.

This guy is gonna be four Old Styles, an Italian beef, and a deep-dish pizza into an evening and declare undying allegiance to Great Khan Pritzker

Watching the latest Jurassic Park and it's not as bad as I'd feared but it's kind of stunning how much worse the dinosaurs look than the version they did (oh god) 30 years ago.

5/5 It is a race to see whether Miller or the greater regime collapse first. But collapse they will, because collapse they must. The rule of law must attain, now and after. Keep your strength in remembering, after all: these are terrified little men with even smaller ideas.

4/ Conversely, there is a corrosive moral mold that will consume you from within when you make your life's wage an evil and corrupt one. It has been hideously captivating to watch the rot spread, even as we fight a rear guard action to halt it.

3/ There is the fear of losing one's health, home, livelihood and even our very lives. We've all known it, although it seems closer now than before. What Miller must feel is different. There is strength in knowing your project is right and just.

2/ In his heart of hearts, S Miller must understand he will be reviled through the decades. He must live in a constant terror of losing his tenuous grip on the rickety levers of power.

1/5 There's been a lot of talk about racism in the immigration context, and sure. It's plain. But I prefer xenophobia. I think it better captures that these are small, terrified men with even smaller ideas.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries: “A one-year extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits is not acceptable. It's a non-starter. It's a non-starter. It was introduced by the same people who just permanently extended massive tax breaks for their billionaire donors.”

We will rebuild

Bold move from a woman who won her last election by 700 votes.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks was caught telling Johnson County Republicans that she’ll hold a public town hall “when hell freezes over.” Miller-Meeks has repeatedly promised to hold a public town hall. Now she’s admitted that she’s been lying to Iowans.

My name is (name). I am a constituent in (your city). I am calling in response to to Ms Miller-Meeks comments that she won’t have a town hall meeting unless Hell freezes over.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Also because he's a couple small steps from braindead and has no idea what's going on.

Images you can hear

🚨THIS IS A BIG DEAL. Chicago journalists are suing the Trump administration for using excessive force against reporters & protestors in violation of the 1A. The press here is doing astounding work documenting how ICE is out of control. The violence they face in doing so is obscene.

First of all, the hottest girl in my freshman class had boundless and well earned self confidence.

Had a fantastic evening at the 3rd Annual NW Iowa Dinner with Democrats - thank you to all of the hardworking organizers who made this event possible!

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Far-right Republicans are cutting EPA funding and misleading Iowans about pollution by changing river classifications. That is wrong. We must refund and rebuild the EPA, support science, and give farmers the resources to comply with environmental laws.

MMM delivers the lie that the REAL reason Ds are blocking the BBB is because they want "illegal aliens" to get Medicaid. Rs know if everyone knows Ds are fighting so people can have healthcare while the Trump regime takes the money to give to billionaires no one will vote for them. #mmm #iowa

I now have two competing Whitesnake songs in my head, one sympathetic to each party. Personally leaning in a Saints & Sinners direction.

LOL 😂 Das ist der lustigste Fumble, den ich seit langem gesehen habe. Der arme Kyler Murray.
