History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

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.

In 2023, I interviewed the parents who organized this effort to oust Moms for Liberty. If you want to know more — and maybe learn from them! — check it out.

Congrats to them for getting rid of them all!

A story I read:

Went to a market and was asked if I wanted to sign a petition for Voter ID. I replied, "Do you want to see my ID to sign?" He said, "No. We will go through voter rolls to make sure you are registered to vote." I said, "You just proved why we do not need Voter ID."

The End

I am thrilled for NYC, but also just over the moon for Detroit. Michigan is my home state, most of my extended family is in and around Detroit, this is wonderful news. Mary Sheffield will be fantastic. I haven't stopped smiling.

I've been rather hoping that their constant flouting of reality and the world we live in would bite them in the ass.

Now I hope it bites harder, and more often.

Dick Cheney had I think the arc of a lot of republican politicians of his age, in that they assumed the foundations of liberal democracy were so rock solid they could be freely fucked with to no great cost. Then woke up one day to realize all those cracks in the foundation they wedged open mattered.

Russia's idea of friendship and cooperation is "give us everything we want or we'll kill you and take all your stuff."
Also with Ukraine?

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

By me & @carolinehaskins.bsky.social:
FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

#ProudBlue Bovino is “leading” ICE in Chicago. Like 47 et al, he is a bully that enjoys what seems to be his absolute power & ability to use force against peaceful protesters. Take a look at the court filing - this will be coming to your city if it can’t be stopped here.
A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

Police departments paid out $2.3 billion in settlements in one year.

We're not overspending feeding people. We're overspending beating people.

The fascists forget that while NIXON didn't go to jail, 48 of his regime faced charges and jail; and they were WAY less corrupt and anti-Constitutional than the Republican cult committing these acts against Americans acting within our Constitution now. VIDEO! PHOTO! DOCUMENT CRIMES for justice later

I know atheists who act more Christian than people who call themselves Christian, but cut SNAP funding.

I'm so disappointed in THIS America right now.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
