Politicians - especially Dems - should pledge not to take AI money.
They are buying up influence ahead of the midterms, and Dems who take AI $ will lose authority and trust as the public bears the cost.
Their money will end up being toxic anyway. People are catching on.
Today, the house deadlocked 215-215 on my resolution to prohibit Donald Trump from engaging in additional unauthorized hostilities in Venezuela without Congressional approval—which means it failed in a tie vote.
Speaker Johnson had to hold a two minute vote open for half an hour—and fly in a Member of Congress from Texas who apparently was too busy running for Senate to show up and do his job—just so they could reject congressional accountability on matters of war and peace.
This tie vote underscores that there is strong opposition from across the spectrum and throughout the country to Trump’s foreign policy chaos.

Take a moment to look at the inhumanity captured in this extraordinary photo running on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @StarTribune. It shows federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant directly into his face. The scene reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s. We look back at those old photos and wonder how the authorities could have behaved so savagely; many years from now, young Americans will look at these photos from 2026 and wonder how anyone could have justified shooting a woman in the head as she tried to drive away, arresting 5-year-old schoolchildren on the street, or holding a man down and spaying chemicals into his face. Thanks to the Star Tribune reporters and photographers for documenting this work; they create accountability, they make democracy work, and they make all of us in journalism proud.
@nonrevgod Southwest generally. We’ve also had very specific luck with Alaska getting to Hawaii when our airline is oversold. 100% success rate with them.
CBS’s billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance.
Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired.
Do I think this is a coincidence? NO.
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
It’s not normal.
Lawler voted to make the tax breaks on billionaires PERMANENT while making the no tax on tips (just for those making less than $25k) EXPIRE in just 3 years.
He’s also kicking tipped employees off Medicaid, ACA, and clawing back their SNAP.

To defeat Trump, Democrats must defeat Republicans who want to deny free and fair elections and ship that legal playbook into other states.
It’s month #4 of Democrats defending a State Supreme Court election from Republicans.
let’s explore: the last uncertified race of 2024.🧵
No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.
Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)
