Volunteers are taking pics of signs at national parks that tell the full story of American history. In an organized campaign they are capturing displays on the brutality of slavery, imprisonment of Native Americans, rising sea levels and other hard truths that Trump wants to erase.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.
This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

I wasn't a public speaker; I wasn't a fundraiser. There were so many reasons not to run for office. But I pushed fear aside because the health and safety of South Carolina's kids was too important to sit on the sidelines. Thanks to Michelle Glogovac for having me on Beyond the Campaign!

TX Democrats were joined in Boston this morning by Democrats from more than 37 states to speak up against the MAGA Republicans’ “rig-districting” of their state and on behalf of democracy itself.
We say NO to kings and to silencing the voices of the American People by those who must cheat to win!

I am aware of reports that threats were made against Texas elected officials in our state.
Threats of violence will be investigated and those responsible will be held accountable.
I have instructed @ilstatepolice.bsky.social to ensure we maintain public safety.

Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months.
That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw lines—we’re holding the line: on democracy.

It’s so infrequent that the New York Times uses “Trump” and “Authoritarian” in the same headline that it’s worth noting when they do. Now they need to say clearly and loudly that he’s in the process of building a dictatorship. Because he is.
