Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

with Portland there's the depressing addendum that 90% of why this is happening is the right wing media grifter ecosystem got badly addicted to viral Portland content during the Trump years and they've been fiending for another hit ever since
its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.

Every single one.

A quick whiteboard explaining how the Democrats position on ACA subsidies stops a downward spiral of a spike in both costs and the number of uninsured Americans.

No wonder most Americans support our stance.

While lawmakers debate the calendar, a top GOP insurance regulator is pulling the fire alarm on ACA subsidies. If Congress doesn't act before the Nov. 1 enrollment deadline, 24 million Americans will face sticker shock so severe it will crash the entire marketplace.
Time is short for an ACA premium fix in the shutdown fight, says GOP insurance leader

Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York.

Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

New "Standing Room Only!" In this episode, I take a look at Karoline Leavitt's $50,000 cross, which is a perfect symbol of what MAGA thinks Christianity is.

Then @johnfugelsang.bsky.social joins me to discuss how the loudest Christians know the least about Jesus.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump.

That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

Finally the silence is broken (and the media report it). Lower court judges have been attacked by both the White House and the Supreme Court - and they are finally speaking out in self-defense. The rest of us should support them too for upholding the rule of law! www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases
Ten judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court needs to explain its rulings better, with some urging Chief Justice John Roberts to do more to defend the judiciary against external criticism.
