Sanders: The people have got to determine the future of what happens in our country and in the entire planet, not a handful of extraordinarily wealthy, arrogant, anti-democratic multibillionaires. That’s what they want. They have their goals. They are not our goals.

Orbán’s Defeat in the Hungarian Election Signals a Blow to the Global Authoritarian Movement Viktor Orbán’s defeat in Hungary signals a repudiation of corrupt governance and a blow for the global authoritarian movement—including Trump.

Hungarians defeated their long-time autocratic leader.
Americans can weaken and then defeat Trump/MAGA too!

The Iran War has likely cost $25 billion by now. What could $25 billion fund domestically instead?

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

Sending ICE to Polling Places Is Illegal Armed federal agents have absolutely no business near election sites.

Sending ICE or other federal troops to polling places is illegal. There are specific federal and state laws that make this kind of action unlawful.

I mean there it is.

Thanks for posting. And thanks for all of your fearless leadership.

The No Kings protests are growing (up to 8M people!), especially in rural/conservative areas.
And the Minnesota mobilizations show that nonviolent protest can force positive governmental changes.

March 24, 2026 Brendan Carr, Chairman Federal Communications Commission 45 L Street NE Washington, D.C. 20554 RE: FCC’s Carr Is Hiding The Ball From The Courts Dear Chairman Carr, By statute, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent five-member regulatory agency whose collective decisions are subject to review by the Federal Appellate Courts. Republican and Democratic Commissions have followed this structure and procedure for decades. You and your predecessor have turned the Commission into an authoritarian agency in which decisions reflect the views of one person—the Chairman—rather than the collective input of all three active commissioners. These decisions are issued at the direction of the Chairman through one of the agency's bureaus, whose decisions are not subject to judicial review. The final step in this unlawful transformation is for the Chairman to refuse to grant an Application for Review of a bureau decision by the full Commission, thereby completely avoiding the obligation to defend the Chairman’s unilateral decision before an appellate court. This is not the decision-making structure set forth in the Commission’s enabling statute. And it departs radically from decades of Commission precedent. The illegality of your authoritarian management of the FCC is exacerbated by the fact that President Trump has asserted unprecedented executive branch control over this agency. The FCC is an independent regulatory agency, whose commissioners can only be removed for cause.1 But on February 18, 2025, President Trump issued an unprecedented Executive Order 14215, “Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies.”2 In this order, President Trump purports to assert control over all administrative agencies, including what the order calls “so-called independent agencies.”

🧵FCC Chairman Carr continues to weaponize the power of his agency to support MAGA allies.

We sent him a letter.

“This illegal scheme must end now. You cannot be allowed to continue to ignore the other commissioner’s statutory role and play the game of “hide the ball” from the courts!”
