Help spread the word! Judicial retention is on the ballot in PA this November - voting yes to #KeepFairJudges means voters have a voice in safeguarding the fairness of Pennsylvania's judiciary and protecting democracy. Voting truly is a superpower ! #PostcardsToVoters

A postcard with purple flowers says “Be a Voter” on one side. The other side has the message

Vote YES to keep judges who protect democracy and reproductive freedom.
Retain Supreme, Superior, and Commonwealth court judges who follow the law. Some of these Nov. 4 races may be on the back of your ballot.

Vote YES to keep judges who:
- follow the constitution not the demands of right wing billionaires
- voted to secure reproductive freedom
- ruled on equitable distribution of funding for every school district

I've been thinking that all morning. A protest dubbing itself "No Kings" is called a "hate America rally" by the Speaker.

Thanks for pointing it out!

If it comes down to it, it would be better for universities to refuse this corrupt bargain, even if they lose federal funding, and sustain their mandate to protect free inquiry. It would cost them a lot of infrastructure, but what would be left would be real universities, not fascist mockeries.

Colleges should say no to Trump administration plans to condition access to federal funding on pledges of fealty to the president’s priorities. https://bit.ly/3IN6CBl

President Trump walks toward the camera, pointing. He is wearing a dark suit, a light shirt and a magenta tie.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 13d

Republicans run the White House, Congress and Supreme Court on the principle that the only role Dems can play is bailing the GOP out from facing the consequences of their own actions.

They expect Dems to clean up after them and save them from voters’ blame, and sadly some Dems want to do just that.

Actual White House quote: “go fuck yourself.”

Its not being some pearl clutching prude to ask whether this is really how most Americans want their kids to see the seat of our government behave. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
