Mike Johnson has chosen to render himself irrelevant through constant subservience to Trump, who he said 10 years ago didn't have "the demeanor to be president."

“I’m the speaker and the president,” Trump has joked

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right??

Widdle baby wants to keep that $$$$ from the billionaires/corps for the gaudy gold ego playground so he's asking his own AG/DOJ to give him $230 MILLION +$75 for "punitive damages" 🤣 for searching Maralardo when he stole all those zillions of boxes of documents. Rep Raskin started an investigation.

Trump is having his own “let them eat cake” moment while so many go without pay, he’s busy building a ballroom and tearing down the people’s house.

Senator Merkley has held the Senate floor all night—and he’s still going. He’s holding the floor for our healthcare. Our economy. Our rights. Our democracy.

Jeff Merkley is still on the Senate floor, standing up to say clearly: the authoritarian crisis isn’t coming, it’s here.

In this clip, Merkley breaks down Trump’s ploy to send troops to Portland to provoke violence and chaos while he consolidates more power. Portland isn’t taking the bait.

We need real fighters to keep our democracy alive, and they look like @merkley.senate.gov. Thank you for holding the Senate floor for over 22 hours to stand against Trump’s authoritarianism. You make us proud.

This is the protocol. Learn the two types of whistle—short for spotting, long for abducting. And thanks to the folks who were handing out whistles at NoKings downtown this weekend.

And everyone should start carrying a whistle to blow when they see ICE activity. It’s totally non-violent and has been very effective in LA and Chicago

It's important to report, but carefully. Pick a mnemonic (CLEAR, ALERTA, or SALUTE) and remember it.

This evidence matters—both in the courts and in the court of public opinion. The more people see Trump’s cruelty at work, the harder it becomes to ignore. Stay loud.

Oregonians, we need your help.

ICE activity is increasing in our communities. If you see something, report it to PIRC's hotline (1-888-622-1510) and get your phone out to record it.
