Where are the other Democratic governors with a trifecta? As of right now, Republicans are set to gain 8 seats — and that’s after factoring in CA.

Newsom cannot be the only Democratic Governor to fight fire with fire. We need folks around the country to step up and meet the moment.

It’s time to remind Donald Trump that America is still the Home of the Brave.

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians?

We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think.

Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War.

This is fascism, plain and simple.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Thank you
I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Last night,Russia launched a very deliberate&demonstrative massive strike on Odesa: that's the ceasefire you get.
This is very usual for prison culture:to beat up& kill demonstratively.

I will repeat the facts once more:
Russia is a terrorist state.
Putin is a war criminal

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

They did. Because they thought they could control him, like the hands of the King. They presumed the true power was theirs. Well surprise surprise, lady and gentlemen... the monster eats judges, too.
Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Barrett, Roberts—they’ve unleashed this monster.
So now that a judge is under attack, Chief Justice John Roberts wakes up to push back. Wasn’t he the guy who wrote immunity was needed so the President wouldn’t be deterred “from taking the bold and unhesitating action required of an independent Executive”? Like what you did now, Justice Roberts?

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.

3 things I will never ever ever forgive Roberts for

1) Citizens United
2) rolling back civil rights
3) Placing shitgibbon beyond the reach of law

Roberts is a POS. So is SCOTUS, but Roberts gets overlooked bc Thomas and Alito are even worse (and Roberts allows it)

Working title for my new book:

"Democracy dies in Decorum: How democrats ceded the Republic to oligarchs because they were too busy adhering to norms that nobody gives a smelly shit about anymore."

It's a work in progress.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The logical interpretation of this is that Trump and Hegseth want to limit recruitment and retention of everyone except for straight white male troops. The question then would be: why? www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The deletion of photos, video and other content is part of an order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that all the military services eliminate online material not allowed by the Trump administration.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
