Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

My stance is very simple: dems should negotiate as soon as, and not before, every impounded dollar is restored, every illegally fired employee is restored, every unconstitutional act is reversed

In which the editorial board of the Washington Post effectively endorses President Nixon's claim that "when the president does it, that means it is not illegal."

These are the voices we need to amplify right now. LOUDLY. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. You know what cities/states are next…I am in Washington state, 1.5 hours north of the amazing city of Seattle, who has never been a shrinking violet, and also 20 miles from the Canada border. Bring it. We’re ready🖕🏾🖕🏾

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

For the record, he has a JD, was a constitutional lawyer for the ADF (rightwing group behind 303 Creative, the Colorado gay cake case, and current conversion therapy one), and was even dean of a law school that never opened (shady). But also? Claims to have no idea how laws or constitutions work.

Should elected officials be imprisoned for speaking out against an invasion of their cities? Hard to say. Very technical question. Really one for the lawyers to sort out.

This is what's truly terrifying to me: Not just the abject pre-surrender of Biden, or the obsequious groveling of the remaining gop, or the complete failure of Media to retain fealty to "truth" and "reality". If they weren't so incompetent, they'd have ALREADY succeeded, fully. We are NOT ready.

Another Kavanaugh stop.

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."

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

100% so The abject failure of what was once the respectable Fourth Estate has been heartbreaking to witness.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient And that's a profile in cowardice

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This strikes me as pretty bad

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy. "BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This is a batshit insane idea. You are SERIOUSLY proposing sending a check, to Americans, with the word "tariff" on it, & **TRUSTING THE TRUMP ADMIN TO DO THIS**? Are you insane? Those checks will have his picture & name plastered everywhere and he'll spin it as "this come from tariffs". Idiotic

Are Democrats clueless morons or just cynically dgaf?

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are. If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Drugs are not weapons of war. They are drugs. The president’s word on who is or is not a drug dealer is not trustworthy. He and his administration have been caught lying about that multiple times. Even if blowing up random boats were legal under the laws of armed combat, it’d be stupid strategy.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Challenging red-state governors to take seriously the breakdown of the Constitution and the Union isn't something to be done because there's much realistic chance they will defect. It is something you have to do first to make plain their betrayal and the implications of that.

I may sound partisan but I’m against the criminal administration doing constant armed crime sprees across the nation, constantly, ruining lives and traumatizing and harassing people for fun, idk seems bad

ICE is a terrorist organisation funded by the US government and deployed against its own people The time to rise and resist is now

Finally!!!

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

It is not insurrection to disagree with the president. It is not insurrection to call the president a soulless piece of shit. It is not insurrection to say a damp dishcloth would be a less destructive occupant of the Oval Office. It is not insurrection to demand a better president.

EXCLUSIVE: Ex-DoJ officials say Trump is destroying the department. Most sweeping accusations against a president since Nixon www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/e...

...

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Now you know

Abbott giving the order to Texas Guard to illegally invade American cities should remind everyone that the federal government is not the only thing that needs Reconstructing

*INSANELY* disheartening, and watching how rapidly one party has lined up behind him and is now "in for a pound", and the other is *still* somehow being led by people not only with no apparent plan for effective resistance, and are likely to give in and fund the invasion of their voters' cities 😡

I don't get these fuckwads. ONLY Nancy Pelosi could call up the National Guard on Jan 6, but, the President can call up the National Guard wherever he wants, whenever he wants? How about some of our press start asking about this?

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

Not be a sourpuss or anything—but do leading Democrats really have to rush to tell us that they REALLY want to negotiate with Trump, and that they’ll be “at the table” the MOMENT Trump deigns to talk with them? And God forbid they put “on the table” Trump’s use of the military or the Epstein files.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
