They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you.

They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Blah, blah, blah...
This is the worst fucking take.
A: HE IS DEFYING LOWER COURTS RIGHT NOW. THAT SHOULD BE ENOGH TO MAKE DEMOCRATS "FIGHT IN EVERY SINGLE WAY"
B: We should not need to wait on a 6-3 Republican Supermajority to determine if Democrats should "FIGHT IN EVERY SINGLE WAY"

WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THIS?
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

Greenland needs to much the UD military base out.
Trump sent J.D. Vance out to threaten Denmark.

Vance claims Denmark is “not a good ally,” then completely dismisses Europe’s deep concerns about Greenland.

The Trump regime’s strategy to condition Americans for the U.S. takeover of Greenland continues.

What does this guy not get?

He sold us out. He failed us. He no longer has the trust of the People. We need someone who can rise to meet this moment – before it is too late.

This is not going to blow over.

Is he just another rich white guy who doesn’t understand the word no?

By the way, I am so goddamn sick and tired of Democratic leadership offering "next week" as a timeframe for taking action. I don't care that you're in recess. We're in a five-alarm crisis, and I'm tired of waiting for next week.
If Mr. Schumer spent a fraction as much time pushing an aggressive policy vision for the Democratic Party as he's spent the past week calling lawmakers, donors, and organizations to save his own hide, he wouldn't be in this situation, nor would we.

Folks, I am not historically one to rock the boat with Democratic leadership. Because I know their responsibilities are quite difficult. But this is not just about a vote on one bill; this is a pattern of being basically rudderless for the past three months.
