Hey D.C. friends! If you see billboards or posters in the District from @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social demanding federal agents take off their mask, be sure to take a picture and share it!

As Pritzker said, the state has power too. Break a state law and they come for you.

as if Trump and Republicans doing nothing about kids being mowed down by guns while protecting child rapists like Maxwell wasn't bad enough, they want cancer to kill them it's almost surreal how fucking depraved they are, but it's very real

You can tell the Democrats want someone who will fight Trump as Trump has fought them. Much more effective than Schumer's strategy of keeping his head down. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

If you're on Medicare, Trump's gonna let AI decide if you get care or not.

ICE’s unchecked power has turned into lawless overreach—abductions by masked agents, denial of due process, secret police tactics. Democratic leaders can stop this, but only if we demand it: bit.ly/45Umbi3

Gov. Pritzker: “The president doesn't seem to understand that it's actually Republican states that have the crime problem. Of the 20 states that have the biggest crime problem, 13 of them are red states controlled by Republican governors.”

This is like asking Russia to agree to a ceasefire after saying Ukraine will no longer put up a fight to defend itself. Why would Russia chose a ceasefire over victory? Jesus.

When will Democrats take politics seriously and wake up to the fact that WEAKNESS IS PROVOCATIVE? Why would the Republicans consider any Democratic demand when the Democrats don't make any demands? democraticleader.house.gov/media/press-...

"'I hear so many stories about ‘We are not going to allow their students,’ but we are going to allow their students to come in,' Trump said. 'We are going to allow it. It’s very important, 600,000 students.'" In a rare case, Trump's base is upset at him.

Recall that in Bush v Gore, the court said that if Gore were to ever go ahead in the recount it would cause Bush irreparable harm. Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett all worked for Bush in that case. Thomas was actually on the court. And there's no doubt that Alito and Gorsuch were cheering them on.

If Trump and RFK are going to rip the country in half over public health, Dems should polarize the living heck out of this debate on their own terms. Scour the law for as many ways as possible to protect your people from Trump/RFK's reign of mass destruction. newrepublic.com/article/1998...
