Scene report:

Purely anecdotal, but people here in Portland, OR, had been angry and closed off in recent years. You could even feel it in the way people drove. In the past weeks something has shifted. People are being kinder, easier with each other. There’s a feeling like we’re all in it together.

Contrast Schumer canceling his book tour with the energy AOC and Bernie are getting.
AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

"I wanted to talk a little bit about fear. I took about 24 hours after Elon tweeted lies about me. I was scared. So I talked with an attorney. I thought about it. And I decided 'I'm gonna fight back.' He's trying to squash the voice of the people." @valeriecosta.bsky.social #teslatakedown

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

This has really been the calculus for most Republican policies regarding social safety net programs since Reagan. The people that actually study this stuff long term have concluded multiple times that government social spending saves us tons of money we'd spend reacting to poverty and crime longterm

It's just one poll but in a new Gallup poll Trump is 45-51 (-6) approve/disapprove, and -12 on the economy.
- 6 recent polls have Trump underwater
- 538 average has dropped 6 pts in past month
- Highest disapproval of any President at this point in their Presidency #notwinning

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

🚨🚨🚨 Elon Musk's DOGE hacks are "seeking access to a heavily-guarded Internal Revenue Service system that includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country" per @washingtonpost.com

Time for Democratic Leaders to get to IRS offices now.

This is the way…

“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”

With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

To all who commemorate legacy media's decline, happy one month anniversary of the Washington Post telling us that Pam Bondi should be confirmed as Attorney General.

Don't get fooled again. Support independent, pro-democracy media. www.democracydocket.com

What if -- and I'm just spitballing here -- other major news organizations stopped attending Oval Office events out of solidarity with the AP, whose excellent reporting we and they have depended upon for decades?

Further confirmation that there is no enforcement mechanism for these orders. Musk and co. are going to keep going until someone physically stops them.
SCOOP from @nbcnews.com — A senior FEMA official instructed subordinates to freeze funding for a wide array of grant programs Monday, just hours after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration — for the second time — to stop such pauses.

FEMA official ignores judge's latest order, demands freeze on grant funding
Federal workers are being swept into the fight between Donald Trump and federal courts, with four FEMA aides fired Tuesday for being "deep state activists."

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.
