The MAGA regime has failed in their fascist attempt today to criminally charge Astronaut Senator Mark Kelly, Senator Elissa Slotkin and 4 other Congressional Democrats with seditious conspiracy after a federal Grand Jury declined to indict them on frivolous charges. Hell yes.

House Dems have once again achieved full attendance on this vote series, a thing Republicans have only managed to do on one vote in 2026. An impressive run by House Dem leaders to begin the year
House now taking the first of two procedural votes which include language embedded by Republican leadership that would surrender congressional powers to block Trump’s tariffs until August. They’ve passed these measures several times over the past year; this extension expected to be a close vote

Goldman is great.
Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

FML grocery prices just surged at the fastest rate since 2022. Paychecks are tapped out, carts are lighter, and families are forced to choose what to put back.

This is what economic failure looks like at the checkout line.

They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in , KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives. 

It's a full-scale attack on your right to vote.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that you don't get to run Mexico. You will hopefully be replaced in November and then we never have to listen to anything you have to say ever again.

Melanie Stansbury arrives back at the Capitol after spending the morning at the DOJ reading the unredacted Epstein files.

She says -
“There’s a lot of truly dark, disgusting, and disturbing material in those files.“

It’s obvious she’s been thoroughly traumatized.

Maxine Waters was born in 1938.

She was not guaranteed the right to vote until she was 26.

She could not buy a house unimpeded until she was 30.

She can serve as long as she wants (and is functional) IMO.

Democracy is not a mood but a set of mechanisms

Tweeting (or equivalent) is expressive, individual, low-cost, psychologically satisfying

Democratic action is procedural, collective, slow, often unsatisfying in the short term

I'll applaud Ro when he names his Silicon Valley ally, Peter Thiel.

Ro won his 1st seat to congress by the manipulative hand of Thiel.

Ro recentle made a shit ton of $$ trading his Palantir stock as Trump gifted Thiel the 'deal of a lifetime'. Ro's stock was carefully hidden in his family trust
