Trump is having his own “let them eat cake” moment while so many go without pay, he’s busy building a ballroom and tearing down the people’s house.

The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law and particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist.

This should chill us all to our bones. Trump is destroying this country one day at a time. We must stop him.

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

Rest is not a retreat from progress, it's the foundation that sustains it.

It takes enormous fortitude to be aware of the truth and not be destroyed by it.

So pay attention a little less (or focus on truths that are not demoralizing) to sustain the path forward.

Trump thrives on creating havoc & chaos so that the American is forced to have a goldfish memory.

So let Rachel Maddow remind you that Republicans had the ABSOLUTE ability to stop Trump's tariffs from going into effect.

They 👏🏼 chose 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 change 👏🏼 time 👏🏼 instead. 👏🏼

This 💩 is their 💩. Own it!

Seven polling sites in Milwaukee ran out of ballots due to "historic turnout" according to city election director. More ballots are being printed and on way. Very important to remind voters that if they're in line when polls close at 8 CT they get to vote. Do not leave. Please spread the word

Senator Cory Booker has started his 19th hour on the Senate floor during his filibuster.

"I don't understand how we can be a nation with so much wealth and abundance and we haven't figured out a way to design a system where, when you invest in the wellbeing of people, people thrive."

Bravo, Cory!

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers

This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!
