Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...

Not only this — but donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself.

The president had his DOJ seizing ballots while he is trying to force Republicans to enact new voter suppression laws. Our democracy is in danger.

Since Trump’s election:
🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats
🔴 Republicans have flipped 0
Fmr Trump spokesman: "Let's be consistent."
BTC: "I am being consistent-- that's the problem. I watched Trump on the campaign trail disparage all these other politicians who engaged in wars in the Middle East. And yet here we are. We have dead Americans, rising oil prices, and a war with no plan."
A new whistleblower complaint is raising alarms over a potential data breach tied to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. The Social Security Administration’s inspector general has launched an investigation into allegations
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
🚨BREAKING: Top Democrats are asking Congress’ investigative arm to probe a White House website urging voters to support SAVE America Act — calling it a blatant violation of federal laws barring officials from using taxpayer dollars for partisan politics. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
I did the same thing and reached the same conclusion and my wife is alive! I guess there are plenty of folks who view BlueSky as a dating app or source for victims. 🤷♂️
The anti-Bluesky discourse seems really overheated and dumb. It's a website, FFS. There's plenty of interesting discussion on it and a lot of smart people on it as well. It hasn't supplanted Twitter, true, but the idea that this represents some sort of major disqualifying failure is farcical.
This is day five for the New York Times’ The Docket. But this is year six for Democracy Docket.

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.
California is proof that our transition to clean energy is making our economy thrive:
✅ Cap-and-Invest Program through 2045 to support affordability
✅ 55 ZEV manufacturers and supply chains = billions of dollars invested
✅ R&D dominantly based in California
By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.
The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪
Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries.
It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor.
Not one more penny.
These two assholes are having a conversation like things are just totally normal with ICE and all we need is to have some administrative recommendations on improved training and standard operating procedures. “How can we fix the Gestapo” is a ridiculous tack. ICE must be abolished.
This is important. The head of CBP says here that his agency did NOT provide the assessment that led DHS to label Alex Pretti a terrorist looking to inflict mass casualties.
That appears to contradict Stephen Miller's claim that the initial assessment was based on CBP reports:
HAHAHA
I keep hearing about people who dislike, “moist.” Not a problem for me

“Memorial services are nothing new to staff at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. But this week our chapel hosted a memorial like none that preceded it. The memorial service was for Alex J. Pretti, whose sudden passing left a significant impact on the entire medical center.“
