Jeffries to Lawler: "You're a complete and total embarrassment. You're embarrassing yourself and your district right now. And you're going down to defeat next year."

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.

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

We're keeping track of all of Mike Johnson's crimes against America and the people who live here, right?

To no one's surprise, he's committing multiple right now. While causing undue suffering to millions of Americans. All to protect billionaire pedos.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

Tweet from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick quoting Laura N. Rodríguez Presa.
Aaron’s comment: “DHS is an escalation spiral; the more they do things like this, the more people on the ground push back... and I'm deeply worried what the ultimate result will be.”
Laura’s tweet reads: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them... Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents ICE activity, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.”
Attached photo shows a federal agent inside a vehicle pointing a rifle out of the driver’s side window.

How do we speed buses up? There are plenty of tools already in the city's toolbox.

Just look at the 14th St busway.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · Jul 11

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."
