This is totalitarianism. Not rule of law democracy. And everyone who excused thus is potentially signing this nation’s death warrant.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence. All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

"The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee," Whitehouse said. Shouldn't doing what Pam Bondi is accusing James Comey of doing be a scandal that would make her have to resign? In her case it's is easily proven that she lied to the committee.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

Slaves built the White House. Modern day slave owners (corporations bending the knee to King Donald to fill their chests with gold and platinum) financed the construction of the new East Wing. Things haven’t changed at all. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

It’s far beyond a perilous time for our country. There are no sides when a President calls for the execution of people who disagree with him. Stand up… before it’s too late.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

OMFG.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Let’s just be honest. Trump wouldn’t be acting this way - using all the power he has to suppress the Epstein files - if this wasn’t the biggest scandal in presidential history.

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

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.

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

New Jersey and Virginia, it’s time to VOTE!

Horrifying. This is America in 2025. Unfathomable just 10 months ago…

Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia. I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

This is an emergency. In a month, health premiums are going to go up by 75%, ruining families' lives. What's happening in Chicago, where people's rights are being obliterated, is an emergency. What the FCC is doing - censoring our political speech - is an emergency.

Solidarity is the only way

I sent in my ballot to do my small part in restoring a semblance of the democratic process to our country. …While Fox News and company does their best to dismember the democratic republic, fracture the United States, and drive people apart.

“If you gift me a sick jet, I’ll let you build an Air Force base base in Idaho. Tradesies!!!” ~ Donald Trump to government of Qatar, probably. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

This week, I decided to enter the Rocaberti Castle Writers Retreat with three of my favorite in-development screenplays. It looks like an extraordinary opportunity. rocabertiwriters.com/scholarships/

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment. Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation. If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Over two decades later, the beast that is the government is circling the drain. A small, limited government that people dislike, don’t trust and only benefits the wealthy. Game over. The conservatives keep playing long game, and we keep reacting. Poorly.

Trump will announce a billion dollar lawsuit against ABC and Jimmy. In 5,4,3,2…

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

stand with @jimmykimmel.com and Guillermo Rodriguez! I enjoyed my appearance on the show. It really is an incredibly close team and they WILL be back!

PBS Passport only requires you to donate $60 a year to your local PBS station! One amazing thing they have on there is shows from their Great Performances series, which currently includes pro-filmed versions of major recent plays, operas, ballets, etc.

Time to combat the new McCarthy with this definition: Carr-ism Anti-American, anti-democratic, and unconstitutional. Term first used in the mid-2020s when Cabinet members, Congress, and business capitulated to the would be King.

You can never appease a tyrant.

To the legal scholars out there (as I am certainly not one of them), it seems like there might be a case to declare Trump a vexatious litigant — and therefore deny him the ability to pursue these meritless cases in court.
