Machado’s courage in Venezuela deserves respect. But aligning with Trump — and staying silent on his attacks on democracy in the US — makes this Nobel Peace Prize feel painfully contradictory.
Just landed in San Francisco after a delay caused by air traffic controller shortages. No complaints here — big respect to the controllers keeping skies safe.
Hoping their collective power brings an end to the shutdown — and protects health care in the process.
When Stephen Miller said on CNN that the president has “plenary authority,” this is what he meant — jailing his political opponents. It’s total madness.
Not only did Stephen Miller say on air that the president has "plenary" authority and then go silent, CNN edited out the word in the uploaded interview.
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2
ICYMI: Last night’s St. Paul mayoral forum — hosted by FairVote Minnesota and west-side St. Paul neighborhood councils — was sold out, lively, and engaging! 🎤👏 Listen 👇🏼
It was an amazing (and packed) forum and meet and greet last night! Thank you to the candidates, moderator Tane Danger for his engaging steering of the conversation, our cohosts, Gloria Dei, and everyone who attended, watched, and submitted questions. Let's get out there and rank our ballots!
Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.
A reminder that the St. Paul mayoral candidates will be at Gloria Dei Church TONIGHT at 6:30 PM! Join us for a forum followed by a meet & greet — a great chance to hear from the candidates and get your questions answered.
So great spending time with my @fairvoteil.bsky.social colleagues in Chicago — love hearing about all the amazing work and momentum building for RCV across Illinois!
What happened in Chile not long ago is happening here—and escalating quickly. Thank you, @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social, for this critical historical context.
We've been in Chicago for 3 days and haven’t seen the “ongoing violent riots and lawlessness” the administration claims are happening here. It’s a manufactured pretext to justify militarizing major cities across the country.
Amid a week of hellish news, at least one measure of justice: Combs’ sentencing is a long-overdue vindication for the victims who bravely told their stories. Now — release the Epstein files.
WTH! Descending in the middle of the night, without warrants, grabbing children and zip tying people?! Not seeing action in downtown where I am but ICE is clearly starting to create terror in Chicago.
STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?
Duncan: But I’m proud to say I’m a Democrat. I’m proud that I can show up to work every day with a better toolkit to love my neighbor—instead of villainizing everyone or putting an asterisk next to someone just because they don’t look like me, talk like me, love like me, or worship like me.
Such doublespeak from the White House. Let’s be clear: Republicans control both the presidency and Congress — and they still couldn’t pass their own bill.
