State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.

LISTEN.
Trump and Abbott just rammed through maps designed to kick people like me out of office. They don't want me in Congress because they don't want us to be heard. But we're not going anywhere. Today I'm launching my campaign for reelection in the city I love. #TX37
You need to add a plank to your platform -- you must support a woman's right to choose and make it clear you stand against the nullification of Roe v Wade
Thank you for this great ad. Don't live in Maine but I'm behind you all the way and will amplify your message wherever I can. You are my kind of Democrat. Wishing you nothing but success.
Me as well. Please Michael - you have done much in support of children's charities. This is not an "honor" that is honorable and I hope that you will say no to this authoritarian crook Trump.

It’s way too late, but the truth has a way of coming out. Forget the airdrops and scrap GHF — let the UN organizations resume their humanitarian delivery operations NOW to stop the ongoing starvation:
So you will stop funding Israel, correct?
He’s the first person since Ed Koch who understands how to use the NYC sense of humor to run for mayor.
It’s an undocumented anecdote. Jeez.
And? I keep hearing what I know and never what Dems plan is to counter this disgrace.
Yesterday, Musk’s AI called for the extermination of the Jewish people. That’s not an exaggeration: it said Hitler was “history’s standout” against anti-white hate. And yet, not a single Congressional Democrat or progressive org has committed to leaving Musk’s social network.
Ummm maybe because moderate Democrats don't have a compelling message? Duh.
Truly imagine if Mamdani had used the word “Shylock.” It would have quite literally destroyed his career and every org and leader calling him out would be making this into a month long news cycle. Trump? Hardly a peep. When you accept antisemitism from the president, you aren’t fighting it.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
Schumer and Jeffries should condemn this and demand an apology from the President - or they should resign, or be primaried.
Americans chose to destroy themselves and the country in the dumbest way possible. Painful and tragic.
Thankfully, New Yorkers are far smarter than the establishment and aren't falling for the divide and conquer between "Muslims and Jews." A majority is rejecting it and mad respect to Brad Lander, who is leading the way—a true mensch.
and, it appears, to some of ur fellow Dems. Why not call them out by name? They shd be ashamed and Dem leadership shd be as well.
Thank you for being a stand up Senator with courage and conviction. Too bad there are now so many Dem politicians that make me ashamed of a party I've been a member of 50+ years.
Thank you Senator Murphy for understanding how Mamdani's campaign energized so many people - young and old - to fight for big bold ideas and don't run from labels. The Democratic Party needs to heed that or forever lose in Congress.
Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on a huge win in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary. As a fellow millennial, I’m thrilled to see voters rally behind a joyful, people-powered campaign rooted in love for the city. Voters spoke clearly—and they chose a bold, hopeful future!
Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Zohran Mamdani stunned former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who conceded the New York City mayoral primary race to the 33-year-old state lawmaker. trib.al/KfNebEQ
@jahimes.bsky.social so you think Trump should stay in office? Shame on u. Look forward to u leaving office and CT getting a fighter in ur place.
A full detailed statement. That will satisfy you? Useless.
Vote? Now? After the fact? Because that will stop Trump? Good grief - stop treating this like a normal President you disagree with. Urgent attention is needed. Impeach him. He's insane.
Vote after he bombed without approval? He’s already done it. Wake up
And?
Wait? You want to vote AFTER he bombed Iran with no authorization? Good grief how useless you all are.
And?
Wow. U demand answers from Trump. Give him time 2 manufacture lies, vote for something he already did. Give more taxpayer $ to war and Israel. Useless and ridiculous.
Amazing to watch the anti-war movement erupt in real-time in Oklahoma www.foxnews.com/politics/wat...
And?
And? What’s the plan Democrats. Finger wave and sternly worded tweet.
Trump and Netanyahu just made the world a lot more dangerous, especially for Jews, Muslims and Americans.
Let it die. Especially after Clyburn support for Cuomo? Jesus. Let it die. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/u...
Democratic platform should be: Peace abroad, good jobs at home. Our failure to grab the anti war mantle and feckless comments by some leaders is exactly what's wrong with the party. Maybe if you're an elected who cheerled for the Iraq war, it's time for you to retire!
He’s white.
A draft dodger is forcing our brave troops to do a masturbtory parade for his birthday because he doesn’t have any real friends. Top notch loser shit.
UPDATE: Both Democratic elected offices were killed as a ‘Politically Motivated Assassination.’ If this was MAGA terrorism we need MAGA to be labeled a terrorist group. MAGA attacked our Capitol on Jan 6. MAGA threatens judges and GOPers who defy Trump! www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...
I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
Here's how the Dems win in 2026 and 2028: Do the EXACT OPPOSITE of whatever these bozos recommend
Creating a world free of bigotry, where everyone — no matter their sexual orientation — can live and love as their true selves is something I have fought for since I was Mayor of Burlington. Happy Pride month to everyone in the LGBTQ community.
I think u r great Gov Walz. And this was a terrible act. But I haven’t heard ur outrage against Israel’s starvation and destruction against Palestinians. Surely that has no place in the world. I’ll wait.
Last year, we became the first state to build and open three veterans homes simultaneously. I just signed a bill that fully funds the staffing and operations of these homes well into the future. I’m proud of Minnesota’s enduring commitment to better serve those who served us.
I represent Silicon Valley. There are more billionaires here than anywhere else on Earth. If I am saying “Tax the Billionaires,” why is that such a hard vote for the rest of Congress?
It’s a great night #GrandOleOpry! #tajmo #roomontheporch #tajmotour2025 #ConcordRecords
Americans work more hours, take less vacation, work longer days, & retire later. But hey, at least we're not stuck with socialized health care.
Those who commit their life to public service deserve to retire with dignity and security. That’s why I just signed a bill to boost pensions for Minnesota teachers, police officers, and firefighters.
Fine. Then they don’t need to get them. But the ppl that have sense and do want them — SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THRM. ain’t that freedom?
Murder is intolerable. All murder. This anti Israel murder included. There’s no justification. But as a Jew I’m not fearful 4 my life. Now let’s do Palestinians. Innocents murdered. Have I heard u say intolerable? Are u standing with them? Where’s your outrage? Have you condemned Israel? I’ll wait.
Every progressive, pro-Palestine elected Dem in my feed is (rightly) condemning the murder of two Israeli staffers in DC. Funny how there’s rarely any reciprocity from their rightwing counterparts when there are hate crimes & murders against Palestinians, Arabs, & Muslims.
There is no justification for the murder of innocents. This was a horrific act that seems anti Israel. Can we hear your outrage against the slaughter of innocent Gazans next? I’ll wait.
Absolutely horrific. No excuse for the murder of innocent people. Can I hear your outrage at Israel for their slaughter of equally innocent Palestinians in Gaza? I’ll wait.
Yes it is horrific. What makes you think it’s antisemitism? Seems like anti Israel. Still horrible. Killing innocents is horrific. Can we hear your outrage on the Palestinians also being slaughtered in Gaza? I’ll wait.
In 2024, 32 farmers in South Africa were murdered. There is no statistic to say how many of them were white. In 2024, 40,000 people in Gaza were killed and 45,000 Ukrainians were killed. Seems to me we know where the genocide is actually happening.
Yes we must root out forms of violence against innocent people. Including Gazans. This was a horrible act - your outrage is justifiable. May I hear your outrage against what Israel is doing? I’ll wait.
It is horrific. Murdering innocent ppl is horrific. I will go out on limb and say this is not antisemitism but anti Israel. I think a distinction is necessary.

Another disgusting detail in the federal tax bill: Boosts estate tax exemption to let a couple leave $29.99 million to heirs in 2026 without paying one cent in estate tax. Register for virtual rally to fight this here: tinyurl.com/52dht7ep
The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?
The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.
THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.
64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, water or medicine. Children are starving. Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza & put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.
Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

#MedicareForAll matters because every single American's health matters.
Can we count on your support? Pls join Sen Sanders and sign on as cosponsor for Medicare For All? Dont disappoint be bold @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Tell your members of Congress: sign onto Medicare for All! act.medicare4all.org/sign/mfa-202...
Is he one of the cosponsors for Rep Jayapal Medicare For All act?
The President just used the Oval Office to talk about his desire to send U.S. citizens to a prison hellscape in El Salvador. That’s not law and order—that’s unhinged. It’s not strength. It’s fucking sick. Republicans in Congress could stop this, but they won’t.
We know nothing really of the others also remove. Bring them all back. We must have evidence of crimes and trials before imprisoning. This is not deportation. This is imprisonment.
Shameful.
Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.
What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.
Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.
Every American has the right to health care, period. If you’re sick, you should be able to go to the doctor without being worried about the cost. Medicare for All is a solution for real change in our health care system. Thank you to everyone who is joining this fight.
The BEST way to fight back against fascism is to provide a vision for the future for working class people. This system is leaving folks behind. Asking folks to preserve a system that leaves them behind is a hard sell. It’s time for a Freedom Budget for All Americans.
It’s hard to believe there’s nothing that can be done.
The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.
Yeah. That’s going to happen.
It was -1,155 seven minutes ago, and has dropped 114 points more since then.
As far as I can determine, Trump's supposed legal authority to impose these incredibly sweeping and destructive tariffs rest largely on the idea that trade deficits constitute a national emergency. How on earth is this remotely legitimate?
What is the use of Congress if they can't stop things that destroy the country or make things happen that help the people? Like...why are we paying these people a damn dime?
A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now. It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.
Reminder: the Executive has the power to impose tariffs (and only in "emergencies") because Congress (both parties voting Yea) gave it that power. Congress could and should take it back immediately. Urge your Senator & Rep. to act. (Once again, it's on us for electing dummies all around.)
We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice. The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President. Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back. We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.
We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
