What Charlie Kirk’s killer was:
-white

-conservative
-an excuse for the far right to foment violence without any of the facts they pretended to have

And I suspect no lessons will be learned.

I applaud Newsom for his redistricting project but Pritzker is meeting the moment as well.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

So let me get this straight: Jack Smith investigates a guy who tried to overturn an election and incited an insurrection… and he’s the one being investigated?

We’re not a serious country. We’re a banana republic with better branding…but that’s going to shit, too.

The jobs report yesterday revealed the economy has been weakening for months due to Trump’s high tariffs and trade wars, WITH OUR ALLIES!

So it’s only natural for a narcissistic man-child to fire the messenger.

This amazing retired teacher is channeling most of us today.

Her rage is our rage.
Her tears are our tears.
Her pain is our pain.

Let's never forget what was done to Americans today and channel our anger into action in ‘26 and ‘28.

Don't give up on a better America.

What Democratic leadership looks like when they help 30 million Americans gain access to healthcare vs Republican leadership when they strip away healthcare and food assistance from 15 million Americans.

Tonight my thoughts are with the families of those who lost loved ones fighting fascism to preserve our democracy, little knowing that history would repeat itself on American soil at the behest of a demented felon and co-conspiring Republican party.

Elon Musk made your life worse
The billionaire may be on the outs with Trump. But the damage, much of it cruel and at times life-ruining, will continue to unfold.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren hosted a Senate forum to expose Trump’s brutal attacks on public education—but Secretary Linda McMahon refused to show up. Cowardice won’t stop the truth.

Our kids deserve answers, not cover-ups.

Warren’s bringing the fire.

Lawrence O’Donnell: one of the last honest voices in journalism—smart, sharp, and always right about the law. While others were busy sane-washing Trump, Lawrence said it for ages: those tariffs were illegal. The U.S. Court of International Trade proved him right. Again. Truth matters.

These men were building us homes.

The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants.
Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS.
Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

Standing up for your colleagues when they're fighting a fascist government

Refusing to back down when facing a despot

Being unafraid to speak the truth to a despotic administration

That's leadership

And it's what we need more of in the Democratic party

Trump wants to criminalize congressional oversight. His corrupt DOJ just charged Congresswoman LaMonica McIver with “assault” even though video footage + witnesses prove SHE was shoved by ICE agents.

McIver was performing lawful oversight at an ICE Facility in Newark at the time.

Trump isn't threatening Beyonce, Springsteen, Bono, and Oprah because he expects them to be charged with anything.
He is threatening them to intimidate others from speaking up. That is because Trump fears your voice; he fears the power of the people.

Speak up.
Stand strong.
Organize.
