As my dad has often said, it's not bad enough yet.

I would add, nobody cares about injustice on a visceral level unless it affects them personally.

My dad's been trying to sell the world on a framework for economic justice since 1962. At 95, he's never quit.

It’s beyond pathetic. The mainstream media, on the whole, is comprised of feckless cowards and shameless hypocrites.

In the wake of Trump disgracefully & corruptly seeking $230M in compensation for the investigations into his criminality—money that would come from us, the taxpayers—you might find relevant my story questioning our tax paying to fund this criminal’a actions.

I talked about Paul Ingrassia on PBS Newshour tonight but I was a little inarticulate because there’s only so many ways to say, “this guy isn’t fringe. This is what Trumpism is.” 1/

Since 8 million people protested Tangerine Palpatine on Saturday, he’s doing everything he can to take back control of the narrative by getting you mad about bulldozing the White House and shitting on everyone.

Asking earnestly, how is the ballroom project at all legal under the Anti Deficiency Act?

I don't understand why stupid, right-wing arseholes are becoming so much bolder in this country just because there's been little to no action taken to deter them at a systemic level.

He said it won’t interfere with the White House. He lied.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

A pardoned Jan. 6 rioter has plead not guilty today, after allegedly threatening to “eliminate” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries over the weekend. Only the best people. Between the group chats, the AI videos, and this…The GOP is really showing what they believe in.

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us. 
 
We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.

He can control the DOJ. The IRS. The FBI.
But not the foreign banks about to expose his money trail.👇

Raskin with Jeffries: "It's an alarming situation where now we have many of these January 6 defendants who have been picked up on other defenses. The Department of Justice is not zealously prosecuting them for other crimes they have committed ... it's a very dangerous situation."

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

He’s spending millions for a ballroom while American soldiers go without pay…

Johnson: They go before cameras incredibly and just lie to the American people. Over and over. It's a stunning thing to watch

Thank you, Judge Susan Graber for calling for an immediate en banc review in the 9th Circuit. Yesterday's decision must be vacated "before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur.”

The military has no place in our cities.

Honestly I think they could just keep demolishing the White House bit by bit until it was completely gone and no one would even stop them

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
