However you've lined up politically in the past, if you're worried about where our country is headed, you belong in this conversation. Here are my full opening remarks from last night in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thankful to the people of Oklahoma for such a warm welcome back.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Nancy Pelosi has called for President Trump to be removed from office

If Bad Bunny was serious about uniting Americans, he would have given his Grammy to Donald Trump.

Wouldn’t it be sweet (and hilarious!) if they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Bad Bunny?

Sign me up for that america

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

From @theathletic.com: Indiana won its first college football national championship, finishing the season undefeated with a 27-21 win over Miami. nyti.ms/49Q0Icb

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Jeffrey Epstein survivors released a new video urging Congress to vote to release the Epstein files

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Well worth the watch. A master class.

Glad that you appreciate The Downballot's special election Big Board! We'd love it if you'd share the link and give us a shout-out.

“Win”

I know this is politics & I know this is a CBS/Paramount conglomerate broadcast, but I really really love this city and I legitimately started tearing up while watching this, wanting to believe that Mamdani & Lander’s shared vision for NYC could become reality. Please vote today & Don’t Rank Cuomo.

Lol who did this

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Senate Dems introduce "End Crypto Corruption Act" that would ban the President, Vice President, Senior Executive Branch Officials, Members of Congress, and their immediate families from financially benefiting from issuing, endorsing, or sponsoring crypto assets, such as meme coins and stablecoins

Yes, its absurd Trump is golfing while the markets are tanking due to his direct actions. But, also, I’m not sure anyone really thinks, boy, if Trump would just focus on the economy he could right this ship. No. Stay golfing man. Don’t touch anything else.

The rumors are true: The proposed SAVE Act, now considered a priority for Republicans in the House, will make it harder, if not practically impossible, for millions of women to vote.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

A gentle reminder that your attention is a form of currency. Spend it wisely.

Jack Smith releases his report, concluding "the office assessed that the admissible evidence was sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction at trial."

The next four years have already lasted too long and they haven’t even started yet.

Sen Chris Murphy is urging Ds to stop fluffing RFK. As he told me: "If we just accept that RFK is a mainstream nominee when he just finished telling us that maybe Covid was a genetically engineered virus...we’re cooked if that all of a sudden is normal." More below newrepublic.com/article/1895...

The next four years have already lasted too long and they haven’t even started yet.

Perfect

🧵On the Broligarchs' Hostile Takeover of the US Government And why this is the logical endpoint of 40+ years of marinating American minds in the anti-democratic dogma of "everything should be run like a business." We're citizens, not customers; firms exist to produce profits, not public goods.1/x

No one likes to be fired. But for the good of the nation & the FBI, FBI director Chris Wray should have stuck with the 10-year term—an important post-Watergate reform meant to depoliticize the bureau—and forced Trump to dismiss him. Don't obey in advance and make it easier for a wannabe-autocrat.

Read this entire thread! This might happen under any Sec Def but it will surely happen under Hegseth. Call your red state senators asap.

Mangione is a cold blooded murderer. He didn’t “save us” from anything or anyone. He murdered a man for no good reason, a man who will be replaced as CEO but not replaced as a dad and husband. Comparing Brian Thompson to Hitler is repulsive. If you want change, work for change, don’t murder someone.

This sounds so stupid and ridiculous and yet it’s all true. The legacy media is throwing in the towel on democracy,

And since it's being discussed on-air again today, here's link to the article I wrote about my experience yesterday on Morning Joe. I want to stress: I am very sympathetic to the predicament faced by TV hosts. These are worrying times. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Worth thinking this through and having a conversation about how the Democrats should respond. Ignoring the fact that the other side thinks you are the devil’s spawn doesn’t seem to make it go away.

Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121 to tell your home-state Senator how you feel about this one.

Best response I’ve heard on this one. All the holier than thou jackasses getting prissy about this can just try being human beings for a minute.

Oh, please!! Who cares? I mean, really? Who cares? If he’d said he was going to do it they’d have crucified him or Harris & he’s 100% right: Hunter was only targeted to hurt Joe. Do we need to be so performatively, weaselly, self-righteous about this?I hope they protect him from future charges too!

Using someone else’s “block list” is the hallmark of a lazy mind and a disconcerting herd mentality. I don’t think being on BlueSky automatically launches you into a lefty blue bubble, but using prefab block lists surely does. It also makes you an easy mark. Think. For. Yourself.

Trump won the election. I hate it, I think he’s a threat to democracy. But he won. Election denying is as stupid on my side as it is on the other. There is no crazy cache of “bullet ballots” that is going to save us. If you are a conspiracy theorist you are getting blocked. Period.

The perfect response to “it can’t happen here” complacency. It already has.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs. So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.
