@madisontealteam.bsky.social and @madtownos sponsored a talk from Law Forward and Devin Remiker, the chair of @wisdems.org Lots of organizing coming soon including the No Kings rally this Saturday!

Trump appointee Judge Thomas Cullen has forcefully rejected the lawsuit the Trump admin filed against 15 other judges whom the DOJ accused of hindering the president’s mass deportation agenda.

Cullen lamented what he described as the White House’s months-long “smear” of the federal judiciary.

Inflation and cost of living are way up as Trump appears to be spoiling like a Trump Steak. Also, still no Epstein files. But at least Trump is fighting Cracker Barrel for you.

Feeling great yet, everyone?

#madisontealteam had a great turnout Thursday night for “drinks and dessert.” Getting ready for 2026 elections! #WisDems

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.

Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert

"For some of these individuals, this is their only source of information." Sen. Mark Kelly credits emergency alert systems for saving many lives in the Dragon Bravo wildfire at the Grand Canyon. "This is how they protect their families, ... And this administration is stripping that away from them."

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.

EXCLUSIVE: Fired DOJ prosecutor Maurene Comey sends message to former colleagues, warning that ‘Fear is the tool of the tyrant.’

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc) joins SiriusXM radio's Dean Obeidallah live from Capitol Hill to talk the GOP's immoral and despicable bill that hurts working class Americans to give the GOP's wealthy donors tax cut youtu.be/7N-rksKZg-U?...

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.

Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

In the immediate aftermath of the US bombing raid on Iranian nuclear facilities, a careful evaluation of the mission and its purported success was impossible because of Trump's constant lying.

But now, initial assessments are emerging—and they're far from the total success he claims.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

#WI07 Rep. Tom Tiffany and possible GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany, when in the Wisconsin state senate, voted to punish those who provided abortions by throwing them in prison for three years.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Happy Juneteenth!

Is it just me noticing that those 2 giant flagpoles are going to obstruct the view of the White House? Wondering for an amateur photographer.
