This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face.
Totally dystopian.
MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people?
P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes
M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process
pundits often insist that our problem is too much partisanship. I think that's really confused, especially now. bipartisanship under ascendant fascism generally means the powerful uniting to crush the marginalized. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/the-danger...
Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…
Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”
"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans:
"We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."
If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.
“Osterholm said it’s an approach he wouldn’t have imagined taking until the Trump administration took office. But he said experts want reassurance vaccine information will stay stable — reassurance they’re not getting from the federal government.”
The University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy has announced the launch of the Vaccine Integrity Project. A team of health experts is launching this independent project that could start its own vaccine evaluations and guidelines — apart from federal health agencies.
Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."
The best action plan I've seen, yet. A concrete list of things elected officials can do. A plan that uses the power of the public. This is how they can stop this authoritarian steamrolling.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
Watch @repjohnbryant.bsky.social take on Rep. Schoolcraft’s amendment that would pull funding from schools that need it the most — and Schoolcraft’s cruel response. #txlege
Trump and Bukele's gulag conspiracy is tyrannical in the strongest sense of the word.
Great to see @vanhollen.senate.gov defending Kilmar Abrego Garcia, especially naming a deadline and specifying the next step he would take to escalate. www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-r...
Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
Casar: "To you knowledge, has Ms Piggy ever been caught trying to funnel billions of dollars in government contracts to herself and to her companies? ... Elon Musk has."
In today's The Big Picture, Jay Kuo identifies and calls out the classic fascist tactics Trump and Musk are deploying, so that we can fight back against them more effectively.
State Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, was arrested Monday for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution. The Bloomington Police Department said detectives communicated with Eichorn “who thought he was talking to a 16-year-old female” and detectives then arranged a meetup on Monday.
Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.
