“Stop talking about that time we did a insurrection”
"All you guys want to do is bring up the time the sitting President fomented an insurrection in order to ignore the results of a national election and remain in power"...🖕
They aren't getting paid by Russia unlike rightwing "influencers." I don't have a problem with folks on the left finally getting some support so they can fight back. This shit isn't free when you commit to it as more than a full time job.
California stepping up.
"Nobody wants to be a cop [in DC]. They were abused. They were spit on." "When you when you say they were abused and spit on, I'm assuming you're talking about January 6th, correct?" "All you guys want to do was bring up J6 about the answer to everything."
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
If Missouri Republicans mid-cycle redistrict and break the law, they will be sued. That is a promise and I don't bluff. Just ask Texas. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Disgraceful.

Iowa tonight is exactly why Republicans are redrawing their maps.
Breaking: Democrat Catelin Drey just won an Iowa Senate district that Trump won by double digits last year, flipping the seat blue. Republican just lost their supermajority in the chamber.

@mikiesherrill.bsky.social signals NJ will fight back in Trump's map fight: "What I think Trump is looking to do is create an unwinnable map... We're going to have to use the power we have to fight back against that. And that includes all of the tools we have to ensure we're standing up strongly."
“Transparent”
Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever. Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.” See where this is going?
Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles seems to have been just the start of an authoritarian takeover of American cities. This is not leadership. This is a scary, unlawful grab for power, and we should all be deeply concerned.

BREAKING: @marcelias.bsky.social's law firm is seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent Texas' map (which violates the Voting Rights Act) from going into effect once signed into law by Abbott
🚨BREAKING: One day after Texas passed its new map, my law firm, in partnership with @redistrictfdn.bsky.social, has filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to block the use of the new congressional map for the 2026 election. www.democracydocket.com/cases/texas-...
Was it "lawfare" to indict Trump for blocking Congress' certification of the 2020 election, something which Piers himself said Trump was "guilty as sin" of doing?
It’s spreading.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social: "Maxwell is a convicted sex trafficker and a liar. She cannot be trusted... Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer before he became deputy AG. His arranging of this deposition, his then moving her to a less secure facility, we're not going to be tricked by this."
We should all definitely, totally believe the story being sold by Blanche about the pedophile and sex trafficker who - immediately after this interview - was moved to a cushy minimum security prison.
Otherwise known as communism.
More destruction of education.
They’re lighting democracy on fire.
"If an independent redistricting commission is standing in your way, roll it the fuck over it. If the filibuster is standing in your way, if the parliamentarian is standing in your way, if any good government reforms are standing in your way, barrel through those things."
Art of the deal.
What blue state is stepping up next? Who’s gonna meet this moment with the urgency it deserves? Who wants to be able to tell their kids and grandkids that when everything was on the line, they didn’t just SAY the right things, but DID the right thing with the power they had?
I threw the sandwich but I did not kill the deputy
California didn't start the redistricting fight. But we're going to win it.
Marc Elias: "JD Vance acts like he is afraid to walk outside Union Station. I mean, there is something very un-alpha male about a lot of the things that they're doing... the whole reason why the National Guard is in Washington, DC is because some dweeb teenage kid named Big Balls got beat up."
Who's the next Democrat that's gonna come out swinging? Who's gonna go on the attack? Who's gonna figure out a way to get it done regardless of the obstacles in place? If you can't see that there's an insatiable appetite for fighters and brawlers on the left, open your eyes.
Slavery was bad.
Trump is mad that the Smithsonian is talking about "how bad slavery was." That's where we're at.
Whitewashing history.
24 hours and counting.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "God damnit. Enough. Democrats, stop being weak. Step up. These guys have been dominant in the narrative. They have been defining the terms of the debate. It's time to get off our damn heels, onto our front toes... It's time for us to all band together."
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "By aligning with Trump, the @lwvus.bsky.social thinks that's good government when he doesn't believe in independent redistricting? He's gonna eliminate independent redistricting... With all due respect to them, they are dead wrong on this issue."
We cannot and will not unilaterally disarm. We didn't start this mid-cycle redistricting fight but we will finish it. Please contribute to ensure that every voter knows the stakes of the November 4 election to redraw CA maps and neutralize the Trump power grab:
This fight is binary: you can join Republicans rigging the maps because Trump feels *entitled* to more seats. Or you can join Dems who will NOT unilaterally disarm-- and who are simultaneously seeking a nationwide ban on gerrymandering.
The @lwvus.bsky.social has come out against CA redistricting. This so-called "good government" group has decided to align themselves with Trump's mid-cycle power grab. If he gets his way, Republicans will engineer maps so that Dems never win the House again.
International embarrassment.
Finally, a Democrat who gets what's going on and who has enough of a spine to do what needs to be done.
Irrespective of how you think of Newsom, I think he could be right in his strategy against Trump. Fight fire with fire. Do not keep quiet and do not back down.
I'm loving this level of pettiness.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social slams Trump for deploying federal agents to his press conference: "It was an act of intimidation. It was an act, however, of weakness. Why else would you send them out? How pathetic. How small."
Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.
"Crime was *such* a pressing issue in DC that Donald Trump found it necessary to first figure out how to put up a flagpole on the White House grounds, lay the plans for a $200 million ballroom, host a bunch of crypto dinners, release a cell phone plan and a crypto coin."
He tried it in LA, and now DC. He will not stop there. He will send the military into more cities with some made up so called emergency. He wants to be a dictator so bad. If only Congress would stand up to him.
"Why would we turn the US military against American cities when we have police officers and law enforcement officials whose job it is? I understand that crime is a major issue, but it's not the military's job to be able to do that. We have law enforcement whose job it is to counteract crime."
@briantylercohen.bsky.social: The concern with having American troops in American cities that are answerable to the commander in chief, who has been proven to abuse his powers? Mark Esper, Trump's own secretary of defense in his first term, had to deny Trump's request to shoot protesters in the leg.
The Trump administration is now seeking to replace PBS with “Prager University,” a far-right propaganda organization that isn’t actually a university. One of their “kids videos” has Christopher Columbus telling them that slavery was “no big deal” and “better than being killed.”

We're seeing Democrats, but we're also seeing people who say "I routinely voted for Republicans because that's just what we do in our family. But now my eyes are open and I want to know how I can help out.'"
Texas Republicans used to proudly assert their independence. Now they take pride in being Trump's little bitches.

@betoorourke.bsky.social: "When Trump called GA Republicans after the 2020 election and said, 'Hey, will you find me 11,000 votes?' they said, 'The hell with that. Absolutely not.' When he called Texas Republicans and said, 'Find me 5 congressional seats,' they said, 'How soon do you want them?'"
