MY LATEST: The “60 Minutes” we have known is dead. The fearless program that many of us grew up with was strangled by corporate titans seeking favor with the Trump White House. I don’t know what is next for the storied franchise, but it will never be the same. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/60-m...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Read this. Then read it again.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

think about this

The Democratic Party is a big tent with no room for racism. The GOP is a tiny little hut with space for Nick Fuentes.

"In unison." Amen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

⚡️The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Maria Corina Machado. The Nobel Peace Prize committee awarded it for "her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela."

“Satire is the most powerful weapon in a democracy because it forces people to laugh at their leaders, and once you make people laugh at authority, you’ve won.” - Lenny Bruce and others @diaperdiplomacy-m.bsky.social

We're tired of despots like trumpery and noem saying American people are "THE ENEMY."

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

Michigan Avenue right now.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Our mainstream media is pathetically feckless.

79. American citizen.

Just feel safer every day.

If you voted for him, you've done this.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

What the FUCK MSNBC? Can't we get one channel not showing the racist Maga rally masquerading as a Christian memorial service.

An INTENDED result of going after free speech is it scares people into being silent in a moment where we need everyone to be the loudest.

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Exactly this

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
