WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Videoclip of the No Kings protest in my town. I was happy to attend! ♥️ www.youtube.com/shorts/nI1hT...

Yep - my very first protest. But I suspect it won't be my last.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, Donald Trump is publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

Choosing the right agent is key. We interviewed three and made our choice based on experience and gut feeling. It paid off because all sorts of unexpected things happened during the selling process that he solved impressively.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

I'm guessing "Cats of Yore" is an account about cats. Anyone expecting anything different should maybe only follow political accounts and let the rest of us enjoy the cats and political commentary and whatever else is interesting to us.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.
Charlotte Clymer (@charlotteclymer.bsky.social) reposted
I really hope Democratic lawmakers took notice of the actions of Sen. Schatz, Sen. Kim, and others today and observed how quickly they were celebrated by millions of voters. This is not about getting the response 100% right or knowing exactly what the plan should be. It's about making an effort.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

I'd really like to buy locally instead of ordering online at Amazon, but these exact scenarios are why I don't. I can order the same thing on Amazon with a click or two and don't even have to leave my house. Brick and mortar stores are killing themselves this way.

The January 6th attacks weren’t just a dark day—they were a violent, harrowing warning that our freedoms and democracy are under siege. We can never forget, downplay, or excuse the gravity of what happened. Our democracy demands action, and we must stand firm to protect it!

And the enduring photo is of a Tesla blowing up next to the Trump name - not the message I think he meant since what it really conveys is a dumpster fire associated with Trump and Musk.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
