Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.
An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

The easiest position in any company for artificial intelligence to replace is the CEO and the CFO. They certainly couldn't be any less heartless

One of the biggest mistakes Dems made in transition is in not having Jack Smith testify openly about Jan6 before Durbin lost his gavel.

what is happening at Brown is horrific. And the Supreme Court conservatives helped cause it by making up a new second amendment in 2008
You know what shouldn’t be controversial?
That there is no — zero — right to own a gun. Zero. Antonin Scalia made that up when he made up an entirely new second amendment in 2008.
No right to a gun. Scalia made it up. Say that, @delauro.house.gov

Safe storage isn’t controversial; it’s responsible. If you keep a firearm at home, kids should not be able to access it.
No parent should have to bury a child because of an unlocked gun. Ethan’s Law is the standard our children deserve.

Of course a man who has never pumped own gas, bought his own groceries or raised his own kids would think sky rocketing premiums isn’t so bad.
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

Meanwhile, 100% of the people who are currently president are convicted felons.

Cassidy’s “yes” to confirm RFK Jr. has to be the most impactful vote by a single senator in the 21st century, right? Only other one I can recall that comes close is McCain saving the ACA.

I think justices like Alito have been planning this their whole lives. Trump has been the useful idiot that allowed them to destroy basically liberal society. No individuals should ever have that kind of power.

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.
