NEW: Contempt takes a long time and a lot of steps. Judge Boasberg reached took a big step today by issuing a "show cause" order in the Alien Enemies Act case. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/judge-boas...

“The Postal Service is American. It’s a public good. It’s not here to make a profit and we all depend on it.”

I don’t think it’s fair that Chuck Schumer just gets to be a gullible moron and you all have to put up with him being in charge forever.

Ahhh… Good to know that at 46 years old I can still miss my train at Grand Central, decide to pass the time at a bar, and miss the *next* train while drinking by myself waiting for it. Fuck it. Garçon! I’ll have and miss another one!

I've noticed that using children as political props is popular with a certain type of politician.

"More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers out of work as auto industry cuts orders because of tariffs"

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

I swear this man has gotta be a character in "Severance" because GOP Congressman Mike Lawler who's shocked at what's happening to his constituents appears to have no idea what GOP Congressman Mike Lawler in D.C. is supporting.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

DOGE plans to fire 430 workers at the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service — which helps low-income and small business filers. Meanwhile, its wider agency layoffs will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. See what DOGE is really about?

Literally sit down Mike

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

A completely serious question. When people, and businesses, and institutions with the resources and reputation to stand firm…don’t, where does that leave this country. cc Paul, Weiss. And Columbia. And so many others

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma

A leaked Wall Street memo confirms that privatizing the Post Office would mean higher prices, mass layoffs, and worse service — especially for rural America.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.
