First sentence of the 14th Amendment. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Seems pretty clear to me. www.archives.gov/milestone-do...

Demanding reform of the Supreme Court is a long game, but it doesn't begin until people start playing. Right now Democratic leadership is obsessed about norms and "respecting the court". We have to make clear that there are two sides to that bargain. And to get leaders willing to say it out loud.

"Strong floor no ceiling" would have worked better before the richest man in the world got the keys to the federal government and began tearing up the planks of the social safety net. We're solidly in the "billionaires should be illegal" era now.

I just want to lay down this marker now, but years from now, when beltway journalists inevitably start writing nostalgic nonsense about how Trump was actually kinda okay in comparison to politicians of the day, the proper response will still be "F*** that, you Nazi-loving bootlicker."

The message of the last few days is that Trump would really just like to get the illegal drug trade out of the hands of left-wing Venezuelan drug cartels and into the hands of the right-wing nationalist drug cartels of Honduras. #Venezuela #Honduras

I know the phrase is an oversimplification, but how is that when people say "Crows are as smart as a 7 year old child" they don't immediately wonder what the average age of a crow in the wild is. #crows #intelligence

Sean Duffy, now complaining that too many air traffic controllers are retiring, is literally the guy who told them all to retire.

George needs to sit the "f" down. This attitude that Democrats would have won if they'd thrown the whole nomination process into chaos, on the hope that "someone" would have united the party... If you can't name the candidate and the agenda they would have won on, you're just writing fan fiction.

Don't mistake this as an exclusively American problem. The Harper government in Canada was shuttering agencies and destroying libraries just 11 years ago. It's the mark of 21st Century rightwing parties, encouraged and subsidized by the richest men in the world.

The guy who put the entire House of Representatives on recess for the last 3 months is complaining about able bodied men not working.

The White House is supposed to be the people’s house. Under Trump, it’s become the billionaires’ house — and they’re bankrolling its desecration.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

It should be obvious that most of the Republican leadership knew the type of language that was used by the "Young Republicans" in their chat group and yet they were all comfortable saying it on there, anyway.

"What if I subvert expectations and pardon a notorious Republican fraudster?" - DJT (probably)

I don't think Trump has much hope of winning the Nobel Peace prize as long as he continues threatening to use military force against Venezuela, and Brazil, and Panama, and Afghanistan and Denmark and Canada and Chicago and Portand and Los Angeles....

"She said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., encouraged her to run" I have no problem with Janet Mills, but she's 77 years old, and it's absurd that the Democratic Senate leadership hasn't been cultivating a new generation of candidates in a very winnable New England state.

5/ But here's the even darker kicker. The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess. And why?

Jared, last heard in March, fantasizing about building a Mediteranean resort in a conquered Gaza strip, cleansed of the local population. "I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up" apnews.com/article/jare...

See something, say something. It's worth calling your local rental company if you see a band of masked men using their vehicles to abduct people off our streets.

22 year old science fiction author, Isaac Asimov, figured out the need for "Laws of Robotics" in 1942. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Personally I think, "We will not fund the Republican budget while the President is declaring war on American cities" would be the best soundbite to get out there.

It’s decision time. If we are going to fund the government, it should only be a government that respects our democracy, that isn’t corrupt, that doesn’t treat people and places that oppose President Trump as enemies, deserving of indictment or military deployment.

This is not about a "college student". This is about a deliberate and openly stated political campaign to target college professors, organized by right wing groups with the protection of Republican politicians. Actual students are being suspended, expelled and deported for "wrongthink".

Last time this happened it was Trump who gave in. We need to remember that he and his party need to get a budget bill signed. Otherwise he's going to be catering the grand opening of his ballroom with 800 orders of McDonalds takeout hamburgers. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

When our outrage translates into withholding our consumer dollars, a big corporation like Disney is forced to listen – and respond. Next time you’re feeling powerless, remember this.

Evangelical Christians have convinced me that the Rapture is god's way of giving the rest of us a breather from his most rabid fans.

How is Trump's Khrushchev impression playing overseas?

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

The explosion of school shootings all happened after a Republican President allowed the Assault Weapons Ban to expire, and I don't have much patience for people who default to arguing "well, it wouldn't have prevented this particular murder, so there's no point in trying at all."

The Deputy Secretary of State has declared he will use Kirk's death as an excuse to arrest and deport "foreigners", and I was just surprised he didn't add "it's what he would have wanted".

Apropos of nothing.

Just read a CNN article that claims tariffs won't really be that bad as long as we keep buying stuff at higher prices. So "No Worries!" I guess.

More leaders like this please.

AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.

As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I can’t live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.

The United States court system is actually doing a very good job opposing Trump's assault on democracy, with one conspicuous exception.

Who can forget the day Michelle Obama fired 20,000 medical professionals and cancelled funding for cancer research?

every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards

"Unlike Monarez, O’Neill, a former investment executive, does not have a medical or scientific background." An investment executive and a conspiracy nut lawyer running our nations health agency. That should instill confidence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Rep. Veronica Escobar: "We need more people marching in the streets."

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful,” (2/23/2022) Trump knows who started the war. He blames Zelenskyy for fighting back.

"When you call something a distraction you're implying that we shouldn't pay attention to it" Democrats have people who know how fight against the rise of fascism. The party would go a long way to repairing it's credibility if it put them in front of a microphone at every opportunity.

More Dems like this, please.
