Democratic Senators calling it like it is:

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 15h

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Dominion Voting Systems, once at the center of 2020 election conspiracies, has been sold to a firm run by a former Republican elections official promising to “restore trust in voting.” Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to do it.

That's the point, right? They've been itching for some kind of violence so they can declare martial law or invoke the insurrection act.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

To recap: the federal government is shut down, people are losing their jobs But Trumps new plane renovation and the ethnic cleansing in our country continues unabated.

The Senate has defeated a plan from Democrats to block money to refurbish the 747 plane given by Qatar to President Trump for use as Air Force One.

This is excellent advice - promote those local reporters and independent journalists to show the coverage you want to see and help get the national spotlight on it. Plus, you're promoting the journalists that are in the trenches covering this stuff.

Ariel Edwards-Levy @aedwardslevy.bsky.social · 2d

Why not use your platform to highlight the kind of coverage you want to see instead of repeatedly claiming that nobody is doing it?

NEW: I'm teaming up with Dem AGs and Govs across the country to file a court brief supporting Oregon's challenge against Trump's deployment of the National Guard to their state.

The President is responsible for provoking fear and chaos - we must push back against this reckless abuse of power.

He still starts off with the lie. Undocumented immigrants cannot use Medicaid. If one does not have a Social Security Number, they can't collect benefits that are tied to said number.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

At some point, someone in the media could ask Trump what he's talking about, where he's seeing these images and videos. It feels like they're missing a huge piece of information here....

THIS is a Trump distraction.

Arresting brown people is NOT a distraction, it's part of his ethnic cleansing of America.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 4d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“
