Mary Trump: “It’s just sickening. This is a country that’s never been able to figure out how to give reparations to the descendants of people we enslaved for 8 generations, but sure we can give a bunch of insurrectionists and seditionists $1.776B”
Todd Blanche is supposed to be the people's lawyer, but his appearance before the Senate this week made it clear he's still acting as Trump's personal attorney. Perhaps that’s why he was so offended when I confronted him with his failed record at the DOJ.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire.
The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich.
We should tax trillionaires out of existence.
Elon Musk’s ten-year $1 trillion pay package is worth more than the combined pay of:
Every elementary school teacher in America.
Every cashier in America.
Every restaurant cook in America.
Every farmworker in America.
Every bartender in America.
Insanity. Billionaire tax now.
Leticia James: “He pardoned the former President of Honduras. He’s a drug kingpin! He talks about how he wants to stop all these drugs from coming into our country. He was one of the largest drug pins and you just pardoned him. And what the hell have you done with regards to fentanyl? What have you done on opioids?”
RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.
The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.
This guy has got to go.
Buying and controlling media platforms.
Firing commentators.
Canceling shows.
These aren’t coincidences.
It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous.
The @GOP does not believe in free speech.
They are censoring you in real time.
This is what authoritarianism is about: government silencing dissenting voices.
Colbert. Kimmel. $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times.
Too many people have fought and died to defend freedom. We won’t let Trump take it away.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech.
We, the People, deserve better.
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
NEW: President @BarackObama agrees. We have to stop Donald Trump’s attempts to rig our elections.
California will redraw our maps and neutralize any attempts Donald Trump makes to steal Congressional seats.
Thank you President Obama for backing Proposition 50 and standing up for America’s democracy.
