The most reckless, stupid administration E-V-E-R. Nothing comes close.

Marc Elias: This SCOTUS case is why I founded Democracy Docket…

Abolish ICE.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

I am.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

After Donald Trump's address to military leaders today, "senior U.S. officers have to wonder who will shield them from the impulses of the person they just saw onstage," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

His tariffs are unconstitutional. His using the military to play cop on our streets is unconstitutional. But we don’t have a Congress right now, and this Supreme Court can’t be trusted to follow the law & the Constitution. We’re in a very bad place.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

Happy birthday, “Wish You Were Here” — the Pink Floyd album released today in 1975. The title track “came to me very easily,” Roger Waters once said. “David Gilmour had been playing the riff .. I said, ‘And then what happens?’ “He said, ‘No, that’s it.’ “And I went, ‘I like it.’”

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…

We’ve now gone from “it’s a Democratic hoax” to “yeah he sent the weird pedo birthday card, so what?”

He seeks to rule by decree because he cannot govern within the law.

Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Goodnight dear 🦋 friends!!!😴 Sweet dreams!💤 Hope your Sunday was relaxing! See you in the morning. Enjoy the sunset and fire. Stay as long as you like. #BlueCrew #BreakfastCrew

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated? We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

A system that allows a convicted criminal rapist tyrannical traitor to gain full totalitarian control of the U.S. govt without so much as a guardrail in place to protect us from him and his deranged destructive immoral corrupt agenda is a highly flawed and broken system.

Some generations were asked to storm beaches. Ours is being asked to stay engaged. That’s not too much to ask. I wrote this piece not just as a veteran or former congressman but as a dad. We are not the generation that lets this flame die. Not on my watch adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/we-are-not...

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

Goodnight bluesky friends 😴 💙 💕

Citizens United was a disaster for American democracy. The Court said ‘money = free speech.’ But if that’s true, the rich speak louder than everyone else combined. Citizens United gave megaphones to the ultra-wealthy and left the rest of us whispering. Listen to Jon Ossoff.👇

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Always good to remember.

“Today it’s migrants - and tomorrow it’s you or me, or Rosie O’ Donnell. The federal government of the U.S.A. is essentially being stripped for parts by a gang of hooligans and miscreants pretending to be the good guys.”

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
