Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

Without ACA subsidies, a couple in Watertown, MA earning $85,000 a year could see their health care premium increase from $1,394 to $3,194 per month.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent—and what Republicans shut down the government over.

If you read only one democracy story today, make it this one. While legacy media largely skipped the Texas redistricting hearing, Democracy Docket's Jen Rice was there for all 10 days. Her coverage stands out and sheds insight into how the GOP operates -- not only in TX -- but nationally.

In a Federal Courtroom in Texas, Republicans Were Desperate to Keep Details of their Gerrymander Under Wraps

Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

They let the genocide go on and on to cleanse the area.
Less people to relocate when Trump gets busy rebuilding it into his "Riviera of The Middle East". They're all going to get rich with blood on their hands.

Never forget!
The GOP owns this and they also need to be held accountable for pandering to Trump instead of working for their constituents and what's best for them.
Vote the GOP out as they come up for re-election.
Vote Blue all the way.

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

I know! I was on a train full of people with signs. All going to the same place. To make our voices heard. 🚫👑

P.S. So many clever signs.

A protest sign that says, know your parasites, with three pictures: a deer tick, a dog tick and a picture of a lunatick depicted by the orange menace’s cartoon image.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Kudos to Stephanopoulos.
The Hillbilly is such an arrogant prick. The Repubs hold the majority...it's not the Dems who shut down the government.
It's not the Dem's fault that the GOP's Big Ugly Bill cut food assistance.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Ah yes, cutting teen pregnancy prevention while ending federal right to an abortion…

An HHS source says admin also RIFed entire Office of Population Affairs last night.
“Not a single staff person to run our nation's family planning program or the evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention program. The Office of Adolescent Health which nested within OPA functionally ceases to exist”
