This is a big deal. Approval polls, like the media, courts, and Congress, can serve as vehicles for presidential accountability. We are watching in real time as the institutions that could hold this administration to account wither on the vine.
Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

The GOP’s SAVE Act also requires broad voter purge programs using reportedly unreliable citizenship info from databases “updated” by DOGE (among other sources). My guess is that these purges wld result in many faulty purges of people w/ Hispanic last names, disproportionately impacting Democrats.

Hope Jewish Dems call out Ossoff for invoking known far-right anti-semitic tropes in this speech

..."Soros" as billionaire boogieman, the "globalist agenda"...this is Orban/Russia script & distracts from relevant ppl

@jewishdems.bsky.social
@haliesoifer.bsky.social
@julieroginsky.bsky.social
Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class... Trump is literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros...”

I would strongly encourage Democrats to continue with this rhetorical strategy.

It really subverts the entire worldview of the MAGA right.

The number of people currently in ICE custody is now over 73,000, the most in history.

Your reminder that ICE is a for-profit industry and the companies profiting are huge donors to the politicians who voted to continue funding ICE.

NEW: This year’s #2030Census test in Huntsville, Ala., and Spartanburg, S.C., is using an unrelated survey form that includes a U.S. citizenship question, according to a regulatory filing (To be clear, this is for the “2026 Census Test,” not an actual census)

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

My org @immcouncil.org represents those two gay men. They had been arrested on charges of sodomy by Iranian moral police, and fled the country seeking asylum. They face the death penalty if returned, yet the Trump admin denied their asylum claims in a kangaroo court process.

They are terrified.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Former US Amb to OSCE: The US has adopted Russia’s position that the OSCE should stop promoting democracy and human rights; foster “dialogue” with a wartime aggressor; and cut staff and programs that make a real difference. This is the exact opposite of what we once stood for.

Our government should fear the People, not the other way around. In a group chat with other agents, he wrote: "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” To another recipient, Exum said: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes." They think it's funny to shoot Americans

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Georgia’s Anti-Corruption Bureau has launched inquiries of at least 5 independent online media outlets. The process is based on the law on grants, which, following amendments in April, prohibits receiving foreign grants without government approval.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

The consequence of keeping the Second Founding of our country obscured, is that there are grown United States Senators who have disappeared the 14th Amendment out of the Constitution.

“Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states…counting the WHOLE NUMBER OF PERSONS IN EACH STATE.”
Sen. Hagerty on his legal rationale for not counting undocumented immigrants in the census: "There's a constitutional interpretation I think that has been misapplied that goes back to slavery days and what portion of a person is going to be counted."
