Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
Best. Pope. Ever. And I’m not at all religious. Am I an atheist? Agnostic? Your guess is as good as mine. 🙄
Go Maine! Love, a fellow New Englander (from Vermont).
Long the envy of the world for its capabilities and expertise, the CDC finds itself no longer able to advocate for what its scientists believe the best available research shows. @citizencohn.bsky.social on the CDC purge: www.thebulwark.com/p/kennedy-rf...
"To pretend that her death deserves the same recognition as that young soldier at the gate is obscene. It is a betrayal of the oath she once swore and a desecration of the sacrifice made by so many who kept faith with theirs."
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love Pope Leo—and I’m not religious at all.
My Dad (WWII Vet) and I watched Combat and The Gallant Men together when I was a child. That might explain why The Great Escape is one of my favorite movies.
US. I’ve been following you from the beginning because I love Ukraine, its people, and President Zelensky. When Musk took over Twitter I somehow became a “protected account” whereby I was able to respond to only 2 or 3 posters. Uncertain as to how this occurred—I sure didn’t ask for “protection.”
Ukrainians are the most courageous people on earth. The majority of us are with you. It’s utterly embarrassing to be a US citizen today. Trump lies, cheats, grifts, threatens…a despicable criminal that most of us want to see in prison.
Gorka (born in the UK to Hungarian parents) lived for years in Hungary. He committed crimes there and apparently has been under investigation in the US as well. How the hell did he not so long ago become a US citizen? If ever there was a candidate for an ICE grab and deport, it is this scumbag.
This is Anhelina, two years old, celebrating her birthday. Anhelina and her mom, 24-year-old Nadiia, were killed by Russia in #Kyiv on August 28.
We were warned by Washington, Lincoln and others. Now we must oppose this authoritarian regime, firmly voice our commitment to the Constitution and rule of law—and assert what it means to be American. www.americaamerica.news/p/its-villai...
A brief public service announcement: Do not give up hope that we can overcome this. That’s how Trump and his regime wins.
Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.
Yes. Absolutely.
Joe, you’re appreciated. For years you have publicly apologized for your part in helping to elect Trump. Were it not for you, Charlie Sykes, Bill Kristol, Tim Miller, Nicolle Wallace “and more”…I’d have no hope. As an Independent Moderate Vermonter, I’m grateful for you all.
The Pentagon is restoring a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee, which includes a slave guiding the Confederate general’s horse in the background, to the West Point library three years after a congressionally mandated commission ordered it removed, officials said. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
What a waste. I feel bad for these guys. They have lives, families, and jobs. And they’re being used by a cruel, mad, fascist.
First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.
So true.
Who cares? The food sucks.
Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
No matter how many pushups you can do, you still need immunization against infectious diseases. RFK Jr.'s workout videos do not a public health policy make. New from @citizencohn.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-wor...
No surprises here. The administration backed itself into a policy corner & now people & their families are paying the price for MAGA political rhetoric. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Thank goodness for Texas Paul. He investigates—then tells it like it should be told.
Kid Rock: I will no longer sell my music in California. Scott Baio: I will no longer act in California. Governor Newsom: My policies are working.
Maxwell MUST be returned to the federal prison from which Trump and his cronies sprung her. What she did should have gotten her life (my personal opinion—not a lawyer nor up on sentencing guidelines). The bitch got off easy.
Way to go, San Francisco!! 👏👏
Bunch of baboons.
Yes, it IS sick. But totally what we’d expect from Trump.
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
If Trump pardons convicted child rapist Gislane Maxwell, they will absolutely officially be the pedophile defender party. The fact that this is even being considered is sickening. She also has been moved to a nice min security prison, a club Fed, ALREADY
Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"
Nope.
I expect major movement in Texas tomorrow. No one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Also very good!
Tortilla de Espana is one of my all time favorite foods, along with gambas al ajillo and authentic Madrid gazpacho. And you’re right. Magic.
The administration “says”…it also lies all day; every day.
Jesus he’s a frickin’ moron.
Maxwell has been proven to be a monster, a perjurer and as evil—if not more so—than Epstein himself. She is a convicted criminal with NO reasonable doubt. If you support the communist-facist occupying our White House, you are enabling criminals like Maxwell, January 6 thug, et al to roam free. Sick!
I’m lucky enough to have visited Gimmelwald. Truly extraordinary.
You and all Ukrainians are true heroes. I wish we had your leadership. Instead, we’re stuck with an ignorant, communist-loving facist who should be in prison.
NEW: After DOGE outed Mohammad Halimi on social media, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison. They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.
We must Fight! Fight! Fight!
Enjoy your proximity to the Malignant One, Trumpists. Time will tell whether you'll end up like John Bolton.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
This regime is going to attempt to antagonize the black community, it is imperative that people not fall for this. The best way is to be educated on the constitution. Please share.
These thugs not only get high on sadistic power…but they are also paid big salaries plus ridiculously high bonuses.
Been there. Done that.
For years, MAGA partisans have employed various tactics to prevent the imminent pain of cognitive dissonance. Now Newsom is forcing them to see what Trump looks like without the distorting force field created by Trump’s showmanship: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Democratic Governors, what more do you need to see? WAKE UP. FIGHT. www.axios.com/2025/08/20/n...
Loved loved loved the Traveling Wilbur’s!
Americans are paying over 20% more for coffee under Trump than under Biden. When Trump brags about tariff collections, he's bragging about his tax on your cup. Good morning!
I’d never heard of her before the recent Jeans commercial controversy. What movies has she been in?
No, we won't be traveling to The Crazy Place. We're Canadian, not stupid.
President Macron called Russia "a predator, an ogre" at the Europe's doorstep. He said that Russia has become "a lasting destabilizing force and a potential threat for many of us," that it'll be naїve to think that Moscow will return to "a state of peace" due to its military spending.
The Slovenian Prostitute IS an illegal immigrant, as are her parents.
A man who worked for the U.S. military in Afghanistan and his family could be eligible for asylum in Canada — but ICE won’t release them.

I love this man, his country and all Ukrainians.

Fanone: There’s absolutely no legitimate justification for the way that many of these agents are behaving and the military-style show of force. If we ever do right this ship, this organization has lost all credibility. I would hope we would completely abolish ICE.
Attention, United States! Russian propagandists keep talking about Russian territorial claims on Alaska from time to time. I've made a compilation for you.
Paid a visit to my old workplace, the White House, today. Serenaded Trump & Stephen Miller with the Mexican National Anthem (I’m sure they loved that). Was strolling through DC looking for the violence they hyped earlier today...another manufactured crisis to distract from the Epstein files.

We are at the point in this country where military personnel & law enforcement personnel & government officials need to say no to the tyrant. We are at the point in this country where Americans serving in government need to disobey his orders. We’re well past that point.
“Wondering why those 2nd amendment folks always yelling about tyrannical governments have been quiet as hell about this.” As a big 2nd amendment guy myself @CharlieAnnFFS, I wonder the same darn thing every day. Such hypocrites. Thanks Charlie Ann for wondering out loud.👇
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."
Young #Ukrainian volunteers from the Garage association have woven more than 700 camouflage nets, made hundreds of trench candles for the Ukrainian Defenders in 2yrs Kids share they do it because they know they can save soldiers' lives
This seems desperate. As in if Trump were in the clear, you wouldn’t have to deflect attention.
Truth
LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member. RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.
Heroes, all. THE most courageous people in the world. Bar none.
As a non-religious person, right on,Tom. Right on.
I happened upon a local rally for democracy in Cold Spring, NY. They’re out here at this intersection every Saturday morning. 50 patriotic folks out here today. Great stuff. #NoKings.👇
❤️🥰👍✌🏾💙
When has this moron ever given a damn about “Required by Law”?
JFC. He is pathetic.
Stanford University’s student-run newspaper sued two senior Trump administration officials Wednesday, challenging Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s ability to revoke student visas and deem an individual deportable based on the content of their speech.
Thank you Geoff Duncan for becoming a Democrat. I became a Democrat two months ago. It’s good to be on the side of democracy, the rule of law, and basic human decency. Welcome my friend. Let’s help make Dems a big tent. Great to have you on board.
