It’s time for these victims receive justice. It’s time for Trump to stop protecting the rich & powerful & to start telling the truth. It’s also time for Republicans in Congress to find the courage to sign the discharge petition that would force a vote to release the Epstein files. (2/2)
“Community Notes for the Win!”
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
See through it.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Rep. Caldier has a “pattern” of bullying and abusive behavior. Just like the guy in the White House she wants to copy. Voters in LD 26 know we can’t let another politician bully us. The 26th LD deserves better.

“You cannot pretend as if he did not try and stay in power the last time he lost an election. That actually happened.” Abby Phillip & @mizzwelch.bsky.social refuse to let the Republicans on the panel pretend Trump is not a threat to our democracy. 🇺🇸

An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify ICE agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance. Can Washington do anything about it?

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
Nuns from a convent outside Waco have repeatedly visited the women on Texas’s death row—and even made them affiliates of their order. Lawrence Wright reports on a powerful spiritual alliance.
FBI my ass. These people have zero law enforcement experience and most of them probably have criminal records.
Ice activity has been declared illegal and the police should act accordingly and arrest them. And if the governor's say otherwise arrest them too. Desantis definitely should be in a cell right now without bail.
This is not allowed in America. It is felony kidnapping to detain people without a warrant or probable cause. We must unmask ICE so we can prosecute later. REMOVE THEIR MASK if you are being detained! We will prosecute every case with a face.
Nearly half of people in prisons today are very likely not guilty, the #prisonindustriacomplex is a private industry And a huge money maker. This country is making a fortune on this new financial boom! Remember, 100% of people who are executed in America are poor.

Team Trump is purposefully raising your electricity prices, hoping you’ll be mad at your electric utility and not blame them. The benefit to them is extra dollars for their greedy fossil fuel donors. Here’s how it works.🧵

Thousands of farm animals & livestock are going unattended. They aren’t being milked. They aren’t being fed. I feel a great deal more for those animals than for the farmers who voted for this shit. They KNEW who their workers were & where they came from. But they voted to hurt them anyway.
California lawmakers reach an agreement with Uber and Lyft that will open the door for app-based drivers to form unions. This is a victory for organized labor that could lay the groundwork for similar efforts in other states.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
We are in the constitutional upside down, where throwing a sandwich is a federal offense but storming Congress and beating law enforcement is patriotic.
Corporate America’s playbook: 1) Exploit workers to maximize profits 2) Use profits to buy Congress 3) Use Congress to pass union-busting laws 4) Use these laws to further exploit workers 5) Repeat Let's break the cycle and keep building back a powerful labor movement.

A proposal to censor info about lawmakers is being sold as a safety bill. But it won’t protect them from anything but investigative reporting. Contact your senator to tell them to scrap the bill and protect their safety — and everyone else’s — without sacrificing transparency and accountability.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: “You’ve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 … and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.”
NEW: Late Friday night, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's unlawful and cruel fast-track deportation policy. This win is a blow to the president's anti-immigrant agenda. Immigrants have the right to due process and to live without fear of being torn from their families.
Excellent question.
JUST IN: Judge Cobb has blocked the Trump administration’s effort to extend rapid-fire deportation procedures to immigrants who have been in the U.S. more than two years — warning that it is a flagrant deprivation of due process that could ensnare anyone. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
Hey, Rep Jeffries How about some even stronger words for a change
Best campaign ad I've seen in years. As different from Collins as a person can get. I don't live in Maine, but I may just write my first check for a candidate in years. Make Collins concerned for her life as much as she's made us concerned for ours.

Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
