Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Trump, his friends & family insider trading to make millions on him tanking the trade even worse. Bitcoin & Ethereum lose billions. Short 30 minutes before Trumo announcement nets 100s of million. Nothing suspicious. Nothing stinks at all

When they come to Boston (as they undoubtedly will), I want to be part of an army of Teletubbies.
Not only cute, with media in their bellies, but a great nod to PBS.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

At least for me, a paradox of Diane Keaton is that the bulk of her most critically-acclaimed and iconic roles came before the '90s--all fantastic performances, no doubt--and yet, if you made me choose, I'd strongly prefer the latter half of her career.

Just to be clear, racist dog murderer Kristi Noem once accused President Biden of trying to federalize the National Guard which is EXACTLY what the totalitarian orange felon is doing by making them his personal army to instill chaos and promote fear/violence. Fuck fascism.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

When we say “No Kings” this should include the nasty billionaires who use their money to control all media and the government.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Had dinner tonight with a friend who’s a middle school teacher in the southwest. They told me schools now have trainings for when ICE agents sweep through schools to take children, and it’s worse than active shooter trainings, because it’s the government kidnapping children.

This is where we are.

If 100K Democrats wanted to see Ammar Campa-Najjar @ammarcampanajjar.bsky.social -- the best spokesman for #VoteYesOnProp50 elected to Congress and each chipped in $5 -- we'd raise $500K for Ammar to crush #MAGA Rep. Darrell Issa!

Chip in $5 now to win this seat!

Thank you, Trump, for your ridiculous tariffs and our tanking economy!
