Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

I am grateful that the rule of law prevailed in my defamation case against Patrick Byrne.

The court’s order which you can read for yourselves speaks for itself.

“the most plausible explanation is that Defendant is not credible, fabricates awesome and farfetched narratives to garner attention in the media, and fabricated the defamatory story at issue in this case to damage Plaintiff’s reputation.” (Page 14 of the order.)

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court BLOCKS Indiana law banning the use of a student ID for voting. A huge victory my law firm, our clients Count US IN and Women4Change Indiana, and the voters of Indiana.

Congresswoman Maxine Dexter has motioned to Subpoena Donnie Trump Jr for funneling $670 million dollars of taxpayer’s hard earned money to a Critical Minerals Company he has stake in which should be of no surprise to anyone.Republicans wouldn’t even listen to her & left the room.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.

Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

We cannot normalize ICE inserting itself into our daily lives.

Here is a reminder: ICE agents do not belong at airports. ICE agents do not belong at polling stations. ICE agents do not belong undermining our rights and hurting our communities.

This exchange between David Bier and Sen Foghorn Leghorn (R-LA) is something else. Kennedy thinks he has him in three separate gotcha moments, but not so fast Bier had his number. The clip is a bit long but it’s 3 minutes of Kennedy getting owned. Watch�

My goodness, Hillary Clinton took Republicans to the woodshed in her deposition, no WONDER they didn't want these Epstein hearings to be public.

WHEW!

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

How it’s done.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Talarico: It should be troubling to all of us, regardless of our political affiliations or our political beliefs, that the most powerful people in the country, the most powerful politicians and the most powerful corporate executives are working together to sell out the first amendment, to sell out our freedom of speech in order to protect their own power and their own wealth. And that should be concerning to all of us, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, whether you're a Progressive or Conservative, because an attack on any one of our first amendment rights is an attack on all of our first amendment rights.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Gavin Newsom didn’t mince words.

He called it “sick and pathetic” that Trump allies sent a district director to disrupt a press event, saying the timing and tactics tell you “everything you need to know about the authoritarian tendencies” of this administration.

Then he escalated:

“Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You’ll have a president running for a third term. Mark my words.”

Newsom said he’s even received “Trump 2028” mailers — arguing the message is clear: the rules don’t apply to “the most corrupt president in history.”

This ICE Protester is top notch:

“Put away your weapons you douchebag, nobody is threatening you. People are trying to get their kids to school.”

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

I just left the court.

Today’s hearing was not just for my Constitutional rights, but for millions of retired veterans and all Americans. There is nothing more fundamental to our Democracy than the freedom to speak out about our government – that’s what I’m fighting for.   

Given what’s at stake, I appreciate the judge’s quick and careful consideration in this lawsuit. 

I wore the uniform to defend this country and our Constitution. 

Secretary Hegseth has censured me and is trying to demote me for things I said. For doing my job as a Senator.

This isn’t happening in isolation. Since taking office, this administration has repeatedly gone after the First Amendment rights of Americans.  

That’s not how we do things in the United States of America.

We have the Constitution and the law on our side.
