Memo to people who think expanding the Supreme Court would make it “too political”: THE COURT IS TOO POLITICAL NOW, and it’s badly misaligned with the values and views of the American people. Fight the fascists. Don‘t reward them for hijacking our government.

No matter which conspiracy theories Trump peddles tonight, we know he's just trying to come up with an excuse for unprecedented election sabotage. Trump is desperate, and the GOP will do everything they can to cling to power. The way we stop them is by getting into election protection formation.

Don’t take the bait. Whether ICE planted drugs or there were drugs DOES NOT MATTER. It’s irrelevant to the murder. Feds want us to debate drugs in a story that’s about murder. Stay focused on the murder. It’s not about the victim’s virtue or lack thereof. It’s about ICE murdering people.

Did you know? Mike Johnson has NEVER faced an opponent? Not a primary, certainly not a general. Thank you @conrad4congress.bsky.social for stepping up!

In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.

This is the frame elected Democrats (and pundits) need to accept. It’s not that hard people.👇

New w @pamherd.bsky.social: Mamdani just announced PIT Crew — an NYC tech unit that will build digital public products. Takeaway: Mamdani is reclaiming a vision of tech in govt for progressives, one not driven by consultants and which solves real problems. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mamdani-in...

One thing is for sure in November: we are going to have an election. “Donald Trump does not have the authority to cancel elections,” @marcelias.bsky.social says. “That said, there are a lot of things he can do that will make it harder for people to vote.” Help us fight back: https://bit.ly/4qskS3m

@housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov take note. Magyar and Mamdani are setting the examples. We all see what CAN be done. Nothing short of this is acceptable. Accountability now! substack.com/@peterdosa/n...

so, the thing is, people are going to have to go to prison for all of this. not *just* because they deserve to, but because the cleanup for the next democratic party administration is going to be substantial and all-consuming, and they are going to need people to hang it on.

AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

1/ Here's what we too rarely talk about when a man seeking high office is credibly accused of sexual misconduct. Platner, Swalwell, Kavanaugh, Thomas—these men almost always have the option to keep the allegations private. They almost never take it.

The cool thing is the Biden Admin already did this nationwide and then those assholes on the 8th Circuit overturned it once Trump was in office

I always wondered how someone could both be taking your job and not working but I think Republicans finally delivered it.

So many good feminist essays on this mess, on the other hand:

This was a good conversation.

Actually, I am a bit exhausted, lol. I have been working on getting the truth out there, via the proper channels, for two months. I was bullied a lot by Platner people. The hardest thing was when liberal men I knew seemed to buy into this idea that I was unhinged about him in some way. That was hard

The mythology around [Platner] threatens the small-d democratic movement. We will not defeat fascism by elevating men who act as its mercenaries and are rewarded with entitlement over the lives and bodies of others. We can welcome a citizen’s vote without arguing they become powerful lawmakers.

CHECK THIS OUT Symone Sanders spills the tea on how “Graham Platner was served up on a platter” for Maine. What happens when outside political players prioritize a candidate who fits their narrative, instead of doing rigorous, local vetting. 📌Folks think his campaign was grassroots but it wasn’t.

How do you undo an autocracy? Here's my latest on the challenges that Peter Magyar has in Hungary . . . pass it on!

Wouldn’t it be nice if a woman talking about her assault didn’t always, every fucking time, turn in to Discourse. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all just said fuck that guy and went on about our lives without him in it. Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to spend all day arguing about that.

We are in the fight of our lives against fascism - a force that seeks to control women - from what we do with our bodies to how we live our lives. The only way to defeat this force is to repudiate it wherever it manifests, whether in legislation, executive decree, or interpersonal action.

There is exactly one thing that needs to happen on Independence Day. One tradition The only thing that absolutely had to happen was fireworks, and Trump fucked it up because he couldn't stop talking

"It is in legislatures—not lone tribunate executives, not sagely black-robed courts, not technocratic bureaucracies—that the center of gravity of self-governance should be lodged." www.liberalcurrents.com/reconstructi...

Minneapolis’ hyper-local politics were the key to defeating Trump’s unprecedented federal assault (via Bloomberg Opinion)

This list of people in Peter Thiel’s private society is totally unsurprising.

Congress has the power to do pretty much whatever it wants with the Supreme Court. It can expand the membership of the court, and it can punish it in several ways too. We simply need to fill that Congress with a Democratic majority that has the will to use that power.

The list keeps growing. Jamie Favud now has nine Indivisible chapters behind him from across Louisiana, New Orleans to Shreveport-Bossier, Baton Rouge to St. Tammany. Find your polling place, bring somebody with you, and let’s get Jamie through. ⚜️

Every single Democratic presidential candidate should be coming out in support of expansing and rebalancing this MAGA Court. If he or she doesn’t, need to be disqualified. In the meantime Jeffries/Schumer need to commit to jurisdiction stripping bills, investigations - all options - now.

@repcohen.bsky.social thank you!

Everything he says is correct.

Generally speaking, polls have shown the Democratic Party's problem is not being seen as too woke, but weak and ineffective. Judging by tonight's primary results, Democratic Primary voters are intent on fixing this www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

It's a never-ending shitshow of corruption.

And this is why we can’t just wait for the pendulum to swing back in the next elections. The Roberts Court is going to make sure that the next Democratic president can do little to fix the damage. We need big structural change, starting with the Supreme Court.

People have to move on from this idea that politicians only do bad things or betray the public or won’t fight the fascists because they’re being blackmailed. It mystifies the influence of wealth in our systems and obscures the very obvious solutions.

It is absolutely true that Dems need to win swing voters to win elections. The misdiagnosis is that swing voters are “moderates.” They are not. They have almost entirely incoherent politics. You don’t win them from the middle. You appeal to your base with conviction and hope swings like the vibes.

As for the political message, it's a simple one. Trump started a war really no one wanted or supported, cost the American people hundreds of billions of dollars and then managed to completely fuck it up. Stupidity, incompetence, failure: rinse and repeat (like Trump does).

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

really cannot be emphasized enough that every democratic policy goal must run through breaking the power of this corrupt court
