Believe that democracy of, by, for people is a promise worth fighting for & in trying to do "six impossible things before breakfast."

They fucking killed this little girl. They denied medical care to her and killed her. Abolish ICE and lock every guard in that concentration camp up in a cell UNDER the fucking prison.

Well... the winter storm does indeed appear to be a sign from God. Hell has in fact frozen over.

“We need to run pro-life democrats to win in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri”

meanwhile, in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri, the pro-choice side won every single abortion referendum

Australian doctor in Gaza: “We’re here in Gaza at the moment…we weren’t allowed to bring in any baby formula or any cash…it’s mass casualty event after mass casualty event, it’s a nightmare…bombing after bombing with the apache, F-35, F-16 attacking us from everywhere around the hospital. [As Internationals] we were told we’ll be given evacuation orders [when they bomb the hospital] but they don’t give us evacuation orders. It’s a nightmare."

In Iowa, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) criticizes New York members of Congress who haven’t endorsed Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy for NYC Mayor.

“That kind of spineless politics is what people are sick of,” he says. “They need to get behind him, and get behind him now.”

There are only two possibilities -- John Roberts is so afraid of a constitutional crisis that he will give Trump everything he wants, or Roberts is 100% in on the MAGA project to destroy our democracy.

🚨 BREAKING: Texas Republicans are livid, accusing their own colleagues of handing Democrats the runway to escape to Illinois and break quorum on Trump’s redistricting plan.

“We had a quorum on Wednesday,” Rep. Brian Harrison fumed.

Then they gaveled out until Monday; a four-day window that let Texas Democrats link up with Gov. Pritzker and Hakeem Jeffries to pull off the escape.

“Everyone who voted to adjourn so Democrats could collude is complicit.”

Republicans now admit: if they had kept the chamber open, they could’ve locked Dems down using the Sergeant-at-Arms, the same tactic used in 2021.

After the Supreme Court ruled that parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, must be allowed to opt their children out of LGBTQ-themed elementary school lessons, reactions were swift and sharply divided. https://t.co/OzEVfiJhK6

Keilar: You’re taking issue with the CBO estimate?

Burchett: The office is very partisan…

Keilar: So in January 2024, there was a Republican who trusted the CBO so much that they reintroduced a resolution to require the house clerk to read the CBO estimate of any bill. I believe that was you, sir.

All the tax cuts happen immediately and all the horrible cuts come a month after the midterms and this presidential term. Genius politics.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

Details of El Salvador’s black box prison from Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

This is where our government sends people with no due process.

Social media influencers and US politicians get staged tours of CECOT and rave about how great it is.

Growing up, as we counted passing time in Garden State Parkway exit signs, my parents instilled a love of The Boss.

On the eve of the lost albums release, some reflections on my journey through the democracy fight with @springsteen's music as a guide:
