More than 21 million American citizens do not have documents proving their citizenship readily available.

Why would Congress require these documents if so many Americans don’t have them? That's not how a democracy should work.

Congress must reject the SAVE Act.

This stuff drives me crazy.

Trump floats running for a 3rd term. Media obliges with a frenzy of breathless stories and expert analysis.

It's a distraction - a shiny object. Don't give him the news cycle and take your eyes off what matters now - like deporting legal residents to foreign prisons.

Our democracy is being dismantled and our populace is being terrorized by a clown car of pricks who’ve never known kindness, empathy, humor, rhythm, style, or consensual sex without the exchange of money or favors.

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers.

First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts.

Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come.

We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Media organizations must refuse to acquiesce to fascism's demands.

I co-wrote this op-ed with @neginowl.bsky.social & @ziggywest.bsky.social about how those of us in media must ground our journalism in accountability and solidarity.

If only more people had even a tenth of the courage that Rev. Budde shows here.

Sadly, Trump will probably try to have her thrown in jail now.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Where was this accountability wave before the election?

Y'all did this. Why should anyone trust any of you much less these institutions?

You burned decades of goodwill to reach this outcome. It's laughable you whine now about the consequences.

I hope with the benefit of hindsight, Biden will finally be recognized for what he is: one of the most successful Presidents of our time.

BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency.

The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

Re-upping this. If you happen to know how to get a hold of Biden, could you let him know?
Dear Joe,

I know it feels really wrong to order your AG to release a Special Counsel report because that’s been a bad thing to do for so long. But the Supreme Court says it’s okay now. It’s legal. It’s an official act.

So go ahead, Mr. President. It’s normal now.
