Obviously, it’s cool & impressive that Europe’’s top leaders flew here to stand side by side wjth Zelensky. The sad part is that THEY FELT THE NEED TO. That’s how little our allies trust the U.S. to side with democracy.

MAGA logic: If you close your eyes, plug your ears, and yell “fake news,” Trump’s name just 💨 out of the Epstein files. Trump knew. Trump lied. Survivors spoke. Justice denied. No more silence. No more shame. We say every enabler’s name. #DefendersOfDemocracy #BelieveSurvivors #EpsteinFiles

IMO the most important story yesterday that got the least coverage was the updated CBO report which confirmed that the Trump/GOP budget bill will be worse than expected. Here are some headlines and articles to read and share widely. fortune.com/2025/08/12/w...
The Federal Emergency Management Agency and at least three other federal agencies have canceled their contracts with unions. The cancellations are a part of a broad effort by the Trump administration to strip federal workers of union protections.

Reality: 🟠’s FIRST ACT AS PRESIDENT was to pardon convicted, violent, cop assaulting insurrectionists in DC.
Jeffries: "Cornyn's suggestion to try to weaponize the FBI is pitiful. It's sad because the senator has presented himself for decades as someone of integrity, and now that he's in the race of his life and is on his way to losing, he is targeting elected officials who he believes are his adversaries"

Jim Jordan was a coach for OSU wrestlers and didn’t protect them from sexual assault from a doctor and didn’t back the survivors when they came forward in 2018. Watch HBO’s documentary on this!
⚡️'Alaska opposes tyranny!' — Pro-Ukraine rally planned ahead of Trump-Putin summit in US. The rally, scheduled for Aug. 14 in Anchorage, is being held to protest the "presence of an international war criminal" and as a show of solidarity with Ukraine, Stand Up Alaska said.

What do we need to defeat this fascist GOP? The TRUTH. How do we flood America with the truth? Dems should hire a press secretary who gives daily briefings covering all the Republican lies. You’re welcome, DNC. #Pinks #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1
Trump sending the National Guard to D.C. to "stop crime," after refusing to send them to the Capitol to stop crimes being committed by the J6 insurrectionists, is peak hypocrisy. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice
No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

OPINION:🇺🇸 Trump – You Are Selling Out to a Latter-Day Hitler The forthcoming meeting between #Trump & #Putin in Alaska will be a repeat of the meeting between Chamberlain and Hitler. This meeting will serve the Kremlin’s interests above all #PutinWarCriminal 📷 Media www.kyivpost.com/opinion/57853
Puerto Rico statehood needs to be talked about too! They’re another island that needs more federal $$$, updated grid, and needs FEMA funding after hurricanes 🌀! Also starts breaking the Latino support of Trump!
Fucking first day. So disgusted with Obama and the Dems for not doing this right away.
This needs more attention! Student loans were hit hard by Trump’s Mega bill. 📌Ends most Biden forgiveness programs 📌Eliminates Grad PLUS loans 📌Restricts income-driven repayment & deferment 📌Cuts Pell Grants & workforce training
Gerrymandering is really so toxic to American democracy But the dissolution of Medicaid, erosion of due process, exploding inflation and unchecked executive power are bigger concerns The Democrats have no choice but to match-or even exceed-Republican overreaching apple.news/A69X4BEBaSfq...
Breakthrough the noise: This step in DC is a pilot project for militarizing other American streets. President Trump just said so.⬇️ Even when DC violent crime is down 26 percent. Reminder of August leaked memo (via @gregsargent.bsky.social): newrepublic.com/article/1987...
Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
Live in Ohio! This is a joke! GOP Secretary of State and statehouse purposely muddle language on redistricting amendment so it would fail in Nov 2024! Ohio is a 40/60 state! And our house districts and statehouse reflects this! GOP has 3:1 supermajority and overrides Dewine’s veto!
Tariffs are now the highest since the Great Depression — and you’re the one paying the bill. Not other nations. Higher prices on everyday goods hurt our businesses and working families, making it harder for everyone to get ahead.
And this 👇👇👇 somehow, just wasn’t shocking enough to vote for a strong woman as President instead of a convicted Felon. We are living in the worst of times. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks
Yes with Trump 2.0- USA 🇺🇸 is not a trusted ally and only cares about funding Bibi’s invasion of Gaza!

Elected leaders are abandoning public education by draining public schools through vouchers & shifting resources away from the kids who need them most. While billionaires cash in, students lose out. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...
The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.
#OTD 60 years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act of 1965, securing the right to vote for all U.S. citizens. The right to vote is a fundamental part of being an American and we must work to protect it for all citizens as we fight to protect our democracy as well.

While working families struggle to survive on stagnant wages- Trump's Big Beautiful Bill hands $1 trillion in tax cuts to the rich.
Trickle Down Has Always Been A Lie….
Republicans Are Openly Corrupt…
We have $ to put a nuclear reactor, made with experimental tech not in use on earth, on the moon to power infrastructure that doesn’t exist but need to cut Medicaid by $1 TRILLION. You’d think we might get our priorities in order at some point. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
BBQ season hits different when beef is $10/lb. Congressional Republican-backed tariffs are grilling your grocery bill so the ultra-rich can keep feasting.
#messwithtexas Here’s a positive view of the Tx/Ca gerrymandering! 1) Trump/ GOP believes 2026 midterms will happen! 2) it’s put Gerrymandering in the national spotlight for a few weeks during the Epstein files! 3) It’s making GOP/ Trump look weak! 4) Donate to a house rep that is at danger ⛔️

And in other news .. From Scott Bessent Hinting once again privatization of Social Security Only 15 % of voters think we should privatize Social Security (source dataforprogres.org) As Maddow always says "watch this space"
Ohio is so super gerrymandered and have 3:1 supermajority in State house! And the redistricting measure failed the ballot in 2024!

Where are the business people!?! Come the fuck on! This weird isolationist NONSENSE will kill the economy. apnews.com/article/stat... Call your member of congress - especially if they’re on commerce or foreign affairs and tell them to stand up against this nonsense.
Trump thought it would be easy to gerrymander Texas in a bid to steal the next election. "Just a simple redrawing, we pick up 5 seats!" But TX Dems are saying, "FUCK THAT!" And I'm absolutely here for it! 🔥 Cartoonist: John Cole #MessWithTexas

A Koch group is spending millions to sell the Big Bull$hit Bill. The same Koch group I fought on school vouchers across the country. The same one our MAGA congressman partied with—while ducking town halls. I’m running for Congress to put middle class families first instead.
#ProudBlue Texas Republicans are showing their true colors, using strong-arm tactics to silence critics and push through their partisan agenda, no matter the cost to democracy. #MessWithTexas
NEW: The Trump administration plans to expand the military's role in immigration and law enforcement, intertwining ICE and our troops, and returning us to some of the darkest times in U.S. history. Deploying the military in our communities puts our democracy, our freedoms, and our lives in peril.
People really don’t like bullies, Greg. cc: all Republicans

Fitting to what he’s doing to the country…
What’s happening in Texas isn’t democracy. It’s straight up fascism in a flag. They’re trying to jail lawmakers and rig the maps. This is how democracy dies unless we fight back. Polite outrage won’t save us. #MessWithTexas
Every little thing Congress does to push back against this regime is good.

If you want to see and hear the real truth, watch this. You won’t be disappointed! This gentleman says what every member of the GOP knows and is too scared to admit. He tells the truth in a gentle, yet direct manner. Remember when that was a thing?

As the horrors of Epstein’s child sex trafficking continue to unfold, a learning moment: “grooming” is not something a trans person does by existing; it’s what Ghislaine Maxwell did to prepare girls to be lured away so people like Trump could rape them. open.substack.com/pub/thedange...
