Keep contacting your US Senators and Representatives! Even if you live in a red state/district. They keep tallies of how many constituents tell them to favor or oppose legislation.

Rs count on Ds thinking it’s pointless to call, then point to the tallies as evidence of no constituent opposition.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Another day, another hit to our democracy as Trump’s corruption of the DOJ continues. AG Bondi is his tool for prosecuting his political targets.

Normalizing this is how democracies die. I refuse to accept it — and the American people shouldn’t either.

Every time the Rs are in power it feels like we’re all being held hostage in their clown car but this time the wheels have come off & the car is on fire & they sneaked out the back & locked all the doors & now they’re just watching us burn alive with mocking, gleeful grins on their evil clown faces.

Congratulations, Pam, it’s not easy to make John Mitchell look like a choirboy.

Our legal columnist Ankush Khardori watched all of Pam Bondi’s public appearances this year.

His conclusion: "Bondi has emerged as perhaps the most openly political and partisan attorney general in modern American history."

Democrats should demand the firing of Stephen Miller as a condition for reopening the government.

I’m beginning to think Republican politicians have a genetic mutation that causes a biological need to lie. Like, if they stop lying they’ll stop breathing.

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.
