We Americans can never take #Democracy for granted ever again. We have a lot of work to do.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Trump literally trumped the law. No one is ever going to see Donald Trump get the justice he deserves for all of the crimes he's committed. Why? It's bad. It's REALLY fucking BAD. Listen:

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HELL YES!!! JB Pritzker just dropped the mic on how Democrats could ERASE TRUMP by 2029:

His blueprint would:

-PROSECUTE Trump crooks who broke laws, abused power, and attacked our democracy.

- Promote justice, reestablish our relationships, and rights that WORK for ALL.

IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME.

No more chaos.

No more impunity.

No more letting fascists run wild.

Democrats are DONE playing nice. LFG.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Absolute bombshell. Data reveals someone made a massive 580 MILLION dollar trade on oil exactly 15 minutes BEFORE Donald Trump posted his tweet about pausing the Iran war. Someone on the inside just made a life changing fortune. The corruption is blatant.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s a week later but I haven’t forgotten that President Trump is trying to arrest leaders in Congress who oppose him politically. Never before in the history of the country has this happened. And we shouldn’t normalize it.

@Verizon is there another wireless outage? Family members asking as phones are in SOS mode again.

[Amy @phillyopine]

Great. How do we get credit?! Some of us are still out!

[Verizon News @VerizonNews]

Today, we let many of our customers down and for that, we are truly sorry. They expect more from us.

We are working non-stop and making progress. Our teams will continue to work through the night until service is restored for all impacted customers.

We will make this right - for any customer affected, we will provide account credits and share updates soon.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

One of the ways a democracy disappears: the legislative branch neuters itself and takes orders from the leader.

This week Senate Republicans will go "nuclear" to change the body's rules. The change? Stop having separate votes on nominees. Just do 50 at a time.

Not kidding.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Let me get this straight: The same Supreme Court that ruled colleges CAN’T use race in the admissions process has just ruled that law enforcement officers CAN use race to conduct raids and detain people. You can’t make this up.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Some days in history are burned into our memory because we saw them with our own eyes — 9/11 and January 6th.

Now, Donald Trump wants to rewrite history. Pardon the attackers. Blame the cops. Erase the truth. We can’t let him. We must choose truth over Trump. #TruthOverTrump

THIS. Space Command needs to stay where it is. This whole thread explains it. Once again Mr T is putting us all at risk.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

It wasn't about politics. It was about military readiness. It didn't make sense to put Space Force headquarters in any state other than Colorado when the only priority should be quick and effective communication in a nuclear crisis and there was already an infrastructure.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

"Why should I care about U.S. Space Command being transferred to Alabama? I hate the military-industrial complex."

There are a number of reasons you should care, but you really only need one.

Hey @SenSchumer it’s time to learn from the pros. Writing a strongly worded letter does not cut it in modern times.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

This is how you do it.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

This is how you do it.

[WestAustinGrl @WestAustingrl]

@JuddLegum Yep. Total red herring BS. Per Grok (using only the most recent data):

[John the Cliff Dweller @STFUabtChicago]

@JuddLegum This is pure BULLSHIT
Chicago emergency rooms DID NOT treat 54 gunshot wounds. That sort of capacity does not exist.
That simply did not happen.
The Chicago Fire Department EMS services did NOT transport 54 gunshot victims this weekend.
This is a complete fantasy and fallacy.

[Amy @phillyopine]

Just WOW. Beyond propaganda. What has happened to mainstream journalism?!

[Richard Angwin @RichardAngwin]

@JuddLegum ABC News shamelessly amplifies propaganda with biased headlines on Chicago violence, ignoring context to fuel Trump's authoritarian fantasies.

[shelby @thetrueshelby]

The new head of the CDC, Jim O’Neill.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Calling RFK Jr. “one of the world’s foremost experts on public health” with a straight face is crazy.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities. These policies hurt people. They use people's faith to lure them in and say, oh, we're family values. But then they don't vote to help women have children. They don't vote for health care. They don't vote for child care. They demean the poor.
