Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”
It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery

🌱 As June ends, fireflies glow brightly across the USA, historically symbolizing guidance, hope, and wonder.
Help protect these little backyard lights by keeping yards dark, limiting pesticide use on lawns, and let them sustain their magic for future generations! ✨

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands.
Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

The folks who want to vote yes on the bill in the senate have this idea that Elon/Trump WANT a shutdown and it just makes it easier to do cuts. It’s like being in Dachau and saying, but if we try to escape they’ll kill us all. Meanwhile, www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

More cuts are coming. Staff in the Technology Transformation Services were told Thursday that their team will be halved.

@schumer.senate.gov This!: Trump and Musk have already effectively shut down the government. The admin has said it won't honor the budget even when the American people want and rely on the services. Vote no on the CR. Maintain the Senate's 60-vote rule.

Sen. @markwarner.bsky.social:
It is not possible to leave a message with your office, so please consider this post by an Arlington constituent as my request you *oppose* the CR. Pres. Trump already has effectively shut down the government, the only question is the terms under which it will reopen.
