Thank you to everyone in CA including the elected officials and voters who successfully accomplished mid-decade redistricting to swiftly counter the attempted theft by Texas. Action and tangible results are so much better than gripes and strongly worded letters.

Me, too.

Anyone who blames democrats for this is just an unserious person. Well then again, Joni Ernst did say when asked about health care "we're all gonna die anyway"

Thanks again to @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com for giving the orange asshole hell again tonight. Keep up the good work. 🔥

Im not really loving how they changed the name to the Department of War, and then told senior military leadership that the enemy is “within.”

So, as a bit of a diversion, I made an interactive that shows how different demographic groups voted in recent elections — and lets you test the accuracy of your estimates of how they did. It's more fun than it might sound! www.pbump.net/o/digging-de...

This was fun and interesting. Take a minute and check it out.

The more you learn about healthcare insurance, the better Medicare4All looks.

If you live in: South Dakota Louisiana West Virginia Wyoming Tennessee Mississippi Alaska Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

How is this sustainable?

Before he destroys everything. The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

Call your dem Senators tonight. Tell them not to cave. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

As the Trump-Republican shutdown takes effect at midnight, I’ll be live with @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social , @meeks.house.gov, and @amo.house.gov to discuss how we got here—and what it means for our communities. Tune in. www.youtube.com/live/2dm-OKj...

At least the UK papers are reporting the truth. US media is afraid to anger Trump www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov There are roughly 260 Dem MOC. Why not divide them up and assign them to flood the message about Healthcare. 65 - TV (local & national), podcasts 65 - Facebook, X, Bluesky 65 - Instagram, TikTok 65 - Livestreams on YouTube EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Since we’re talking about Bari Weiss: She personally targeted the Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer, who lived in Gaza. He was then assassinated by the IDF on December 6, 2023. “If I Must Die” By Refaat Alareer

Neil Young Has a New Protest Song Seemingly Aimed at Donald Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u... I was lucky to have heard it live in Milwaukee with a crowd that roared approval! Neil Young is a treasure!

At this point we need separate channels devoted solely to covering aviation issues, mass shootings, Trump corruption,effects of the Big Ugly Bill, hate crimes and ICE raids.

Motherfucking wind farms…

The President shouldn’t be an extortionist, but here we are. 😏

I had similar thoughts.

"Her businesses, known for donating meals to homeless shelters, supporting local police, providing funding for high school baseball teams... “She gives back to the community, creates jobs for young people, pays taxes. Why would you want to remove someone like that?” www.12news.com/article/news...

#PBS #NPR here’s some good you can do, if you currently subscribe to the Paramount+ streaming service: cancel it, and take that $60/year and donate it to your local PBS station. Big Bird needs that cash more than the C-suite shitheads at CBS.

Happy birthday to a nation of immigrants! 🇺🇸

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

No matter where you live, there’s likely an Indivisible group near you that’s organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help connect you with your nearest organizers: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

Well that Fourth of July sucked ass. Let’s make it the last one like this. I heard the fireworks and thought: MAGA idiots celebrating their own demise. Follow these resisters. Repost to get vetted for tomorrow’s pack. Unless he dies first. Then we party. go.bsky.app/CkgVGja

By the time the midterms roll around, I hope to have every fundraising phone number that texts me blocked.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

NO $$$ going to either store. It makes you wonder what they are getting out of the deal.

Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

They sincerely need to set a plan in motion and tell me all about if they want to earn my vote!!!

‘Weak,’ ‘whiny’ and ‘invisible’: Critics of DNC Chair Ken Martin savage his tenure This is concerning.

Even more relevant after the assassination of Minnesota state lawmakers:

Good insight in this thread about new reporting Marines have detained individuals in LA, which raises the question of Posse Comitatus Act violation.

Shall we all go out walking tomorrow, do you think?

@duchessgoldblatt.bsky.social Your Grace! You’re here! Huzzah!

Not too many Black folks will be surprised that the very first civilian Trump’s Marines detained in Los Angeles was a Black man. A veteran.
