Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Cosplay Kristi Noem is furious that Seattle-Tacoma and Portland airports won’t play her taxpayer-funded blame-Democrats video. Imagine thinking airport security lines should double as campaign rallies. Sorry Kristi, democracy doesn’t take propaganda orders.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Dr. Durrani reminds us: ER doctors are proud to care for anyone, anywhere, 24/7, 365. They swore an oath to heal, not to play politics. Trump’s cruel cuts betray that oath and put lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Democrats won’t be to blame for a shutdown, and everyone knows it!

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

🚨 URGENT: A government shutdown would devastate people with disabilities. ACA subsidies gone. Social Security offices closed. Applications delayed. Call (202) 224-3121—tell Republicans: protect healthcare & disability services. Lives are on the line. #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown

When bad things happen, presidents traditionally use the highest office in the land to calm the public. The best of our presidents appeal to the better angels of our nature. Trump consistently appeals to the worst of our demons. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-cyn...

Rather than appeal to the better angels of our nature, he appeals to the worst of our demons

The job market is drying up. Prices continue to rise. Millions are living paycheck to paycheck. 70% of U.S. adults say the American Dream is dead.

What has Trump been up to lately?

Hobnobbing with billionaire Big Tech CEOs and profiting off the presidency with crypto schemes.

D.C. is not a “slum.” Only authoritarians peddling racist lies to justify their power grabs use that kind of language. This isn’t about safety—it’s about control.
Don’t fall for it.
Stand with D.C. against this assault on democracy.
