This is a red alarm fire. Please listen to Marc Elias.

After the primaries are over, all Democrats must vote for Democrats. I don't want to hear any of the "I stayed home because the Democrat didn't check all my boxes" crap.

And every Dem must vote. Every last one of us.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Just unloading the kiln, so far, a few of my faves. A few disappointments as well but that's the norm.

Trump: "We'll take a couple questions from the news. I'm sure they'll be extremely non-hostile and friendly, like JD went through a very friendly interview with George Slopodopolous, who is nice enough to pay me $16 million ... he had to pay $16 million to me."

The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!
