This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Nothing says ‘fit to lead’ like napping through your own medical endorsement. Get Grandpa Don to bed. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Fight. The. Fuck. On. @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

i think this is a pretty good take on pelosi, who is unquestionably one of the most consequential house speakers in the history of the institution

Easy to believe this guy ignored someone who passed out in the Oval Office. He did ignore a guest at a Mar-a-Lago event who fell off the stage and split his head open and complained about the blood staining his marble floor. The lack of empathy is on-brand.

Not true obviously, but you save more lives when you stop a vessel and arrest those aboard, alive, if they're actually trafficking drugs. Instead of drowned bodies, you get useful intel about their criminal structures, their support networks, their finances, and future vessels.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath? Character isn't something you tell people about. It's something you live.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP. Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

The Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration has made domestic abuse victims lacking permanent legal status even more fearful to report abuse to authorities, their advocates say. From @kffhealthnews.org

Baba O’Riley @emilysue.bsky.social

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

RFK Jr's response to someone collapsing nearby him was to haul ass out of the room as quickly as possible

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

BIG NEWS buried amid the blue wave: @govwesmoore.bsky.social announces that Maryland is IN when it comes to redrawing maps for 2026. "Come next November in Maryland, we will have fair maps."

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

More than 26 billionaires gave to campaigns to defeat New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

Great and worthwhile thread from @gregsargent.bsky.social but the only thing I’d quibble with is why not be a bit more explicit about this being the REPUBLICAN agenda and not just Trump’s, the Dems should be vocalizing?

This is going to be a shitshow, so we need to remind each other to be patient and kind. TSA has been working without pay. 📌 The FAA announced major restrictions that experts say could lead to thousands of flights being canceled as the government shutdown drags into day 37.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices across the federal government is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to the records of the government they fund. Use our new action center tool to tell Congress to keep FOIA offices open.

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106. 12 days of work in 106 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Raskin: "South Korea gave him some kind of golden crown or something, and then he lowered their tariffs. That is a monarchist mercantilism, that is not the American system."

Big things are happening…

This is the kind of thing which makes me think better things are possible.

After those results, the Democratic response to GOP pressure to cave on the shutdown should simply be

Historic local victories, combined with Proposition 50 in California, the gubernatorial victories in Virginia and New Jersey, Trump’s very low approval rating, and what may be a significant Latino exodus, should certainly have the GOP more worried about Democrats than Vance purports. trib.al/T006Tui

Great. Idea.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy. Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.
