The absolute bare minimum effort we *should* be seeing from electeds anywhere. “I ran up and put myself between the ICE officers and the crowd, and that’s when they started to shoot at us with the pepper balls — as well as using the pepper spray — and were tackling people."

GO SEE ‘I LOVE BOOSTERS’ it is so friggin good

You know, if liberals hadn't abandoned Twitter for Bluesky and had been nicer to Mitt Romney, maybe the Reflecting Pool wouldn't have been screwed up by the President's favored pool repair team.

We’re organizing behind a new wave of Democratic candidates who can win at the ballot box and be relied on to fight fascism as hard as we do. Please pitch in if you can to help us win the midterms while building a better Democratic Party.

After I published this piece calling journalists toadies and suck-ups if they hold a correspondents’ dinner with Trump as guest of honor, I thought of one way they could redeem themselves: When Trump gets up to speak, shout in unison: “Quiet, Piggy!”

The average U.S. gasoline price is $4.12 a gallon. It was $2.37 when Biden left office 15 months ago. The Trump regime wants you to think a 74% increase in the price of gas is no big deal. It is.

We don’t usually root for the Dawgs but Vance is taking yet another L in Georgia and we are here for it

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Ouch. “Within hours of the news Trump fired Bondi as AG, images began circulating of her framed portrait, unceremoniously removed from its place of honor… One photo obtained by MS NOW showed Bondi’s portrait in a trash bin.” www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

Of course the media are covering Trump’s deranged, rambling speech as if it was a normal statement from a fully functional human being instead of what it really was: dangerous madness tearing the world apart.

🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social to Dems: “If Democratic leadership can’t forcefully be fhe anti-war party I’m just not sure if there’s any hope for this country.”

@julianastratton.bsky.social worked her tail off for this win. Extremely proud of her and her entire team this evening. Excited to call her Senator in a few months!

🇬🇧 @mrjamesob.bsky.social on Trump’s war: “keir starmer should do as little as possible. Trump is a dangerous, delinquent idiot who started a war in one of the world’s most historically volatile tinderboxes’ — with no legal rationale, no plan, and no end objective.”

🔥 🇪🇸 SPAIN — MAR ESPINAR: “Go lick boots at Mar-A-Lago… which Iranian women are thanking Trump? The mothers of the 160 girls murdered at a school?”

“And that’s why I, Mark Kelly, continue to keep voting to confirm Trump’s judges, NSA directors, & all the other nominees”

Senator Durbin: Great job on this bill. NOT SURE YOU’VE NOTICED BUT TRUMP (a child rapist) has started an illegal war with Iran. Can we see something happen to stop the criminal activity in the White House? Concerned Veteran

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Watch this. 19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance. As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸 We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

You absolutely love to see it

"Susan Collins wants to make it harder for Maine married women to vote" should be a pretty easy attack ad.

Turns out the woman wearing the bathrobe in this iconic photo from Minneapolis is a journalist who formerly worked at my hometown newspaper, the Evanston (IL) RoundTable.

WATCH: “Where are your priorities? Who are you helping?” 🔥 A mom of a gay son pushes back on Gino Bulso’s attack on same-sex marriage & calls out @GovBillLee — whose sister is married to a woman — for supporting the GOP slate of hate. (With @votegloriaj.bsky.social & Powell)

🚨‼️ @rajaforil.bsky.social voted to fund ICE, he voted to thank ICE, and he took money from an ICE contractor. I want to abolish ICE, and I’ll hold the line in the U.S. Senate.

“Leaders” @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social over there on the right 😬

Wow... missed this when it happened... what a tragically stupid thing to say, and what a waste of this opportunity... besides, yes, today's Republicans are indeed Nazis.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

This is it. Pam Bondi's sole job. Protect Trump, criminals, and pedophiles.

Jayapal asks Epstein survivors in hearing room to stand and raise hands if they still haven't been able to meet with Bondi's DOJ. Every single one of them doe. Jayapal then gives Bondi an opportunity to apologize. She responds by trying to attack Jayapal and Merrick Garland but doesn't apologize.

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man? LYONS: Yes mam McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

WATCH — @balint.house.gov on the unredacted Epstein files: “There’s a bunch of sick fucks… so many people knew…. Trump never kicked Epstein out of Mar-A-Lago. That’s a lie.” (From @dropsitenews.com )

Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.
