My resolution to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision — H.J.Res 122 — has now been co-sponsored by 72 Members of Congress. You can view the full list at: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c....
I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line!
The MAGA bubble simply is NOT going to break, regardless of how bad the Trump/GOP stories get. 30-40% of the public are hearing/reading nothing but right wing spin due to our toxified, consolidated, plutocrat-owned media. That's the #1 problem that will have to be dealt with.
They don’t want you to read this
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Text SIGN PLPEPU to 50409 to join Felicia & tell your officials VOTE NO on DHS funding
My @resist.bot letter to @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov: You're voting NO on the DHS funding bill, right? Right??? Defund and ABOLISH ICE! We need real immigration reform - as in, make it easier for people to immigrate to the US and for the people already here to get legal status. (cont)
Sad to hear.
This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
His endless repetition of how well he did on a "did you get kicked in the head by a horse" test is maybe the surest sign of how little anyone around him is willing to show or tell him any non-supportive news or information
So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?
Nothing that any elected Democrat has ever said about Republican voters is ever as crass or as cruel as what Trump says about Democratic constituencies every single day, and the media just treats it as background noise.
you'd think Democrats would realize that effective messaging can shift public opinion and electoral outcomes after watching Republicans wage relentless and super-effective propaganda warfare on the nation's dim electorate for going on five fucking decades
I'm sorry, but what's wrong with giving health care to immigrants? Republicans don't even want to give health care to citizens, but I don't understand the argument against keeping people who contribute billions of dollars to the economy healthy. It's also less expensive in the long run.
The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.
Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.
I'll say this once more:
@kairyssdal.bsky.social, of public radio (APM vs NPR), giving daily lessons on putting things clearly and honestly.
Enough of this "falsely" and "without evidence" and "departure from norms" wiggle talk.
The man lies. Is deluded. Steals. And constantly breaks the law
Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll:
Overall approval: 38-54
Approval on economy: 39-56
Approval on trade: 39-54
On National Guard into cities: 42-55
On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55
Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:
If you want to understand the failure of our media, since Kirk’s murder Republicans have fanned out across the media for interviews, all claiming Dems calling Trump ‘fascist’ causes violence. And not a single interviewer has pushed back with: ‘But Trump called Harris a fascist!’

"He's in the process of establishing a dictatorship."
It's a simple 8-word sentence. News media could tell the public that. They know it's true. They report on the various steps toward autocracy every day. But they're afraid to utter that 8-word sentence. Which is more evidence of how true it is.
Where the f**k was all this reporting from the Times & the Journal on Trump & the world’s most famous child rapist in 2016, 2020, & 2020? Where were the effing Dems & their oppo research? How on earth has it taken this long for this stuff to come out?
Never give Trump the benefit of the doubt.
For a lifetime, he’s gotten away with depraved and criminal behavior because decent people gave him the benefit of the doubt.
A close encounter with a hummingbird this morning.
It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.
US media is mostly captured by the regime, they'll go on about a Waymo on fire and pretend there are riots, when it is the police and ICE escalating by attacking / kidnapping people.
Meanwhile Trump is trying to sell everyone's data to Palantir in the background.
There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.
This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
Just a reminder that the racist Right and moderates also talked about “extremists” and “outside agitators” in order to undermine Civil Rights and legitimize state violence.
It’s the same playbook over and over again and, until people recognize it, it will continue to work.
ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.
We all see corporate media slam progressive Democrats. Why?Simple corporate media wants corporate Democrats to win. The corporate Dems will always side with corporations over working class Americans.
No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.
