💯 Dems should also commit to a specific position: Trump has not honored the promises and agreements of his predecessors and we will not honor his. If you're gullible enough to trust an assurance from Trump, understand that it is gone the moment he is.
Elderly man, seated, with a sign that says "I AM A VETERAN 91 Y.O. KOREAN WAR" next to a Virginia State "sic semper tyrannis" flag
Seen at our Hands Off! protest: this lovely man is still honoring his oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign _and domestic_.
There is absolutely no way the US can host the World Cup or the Olympics
THIS IS WHAT A TRADE WAR LOOKS LIKE -
ChatGPT ass presidency
This is what election-rigging looks like.
And history will repeat itself unless Republicans join us and stand up to these across the board tariffs.
A blue and black graphic of a fictional flag for Heard Island. A penguin stands defiantly on an icy outcropping, one flipper up, against a night sky. The words FLIPPERS UP are emblazoned along the bottom.

This feels like the defining image from this year’s Midwest Political Science Association annual meeting.
The National Science Foundatipn paid for a booth in the exhibit hall. But the booth sits empty, because NSF has been DOGE’d, and there is no one left to send.
People couldn't handle pronouns in email signatures so we got this instead.
Headline story in the Financial Times. It reads: Jeep and Chrysler maker Stellantis to furlough 900 US workers Component facilities in Michigan and Indiana are hit after carmaker idles production in Canada and Mexico Stellantis says transmission, stamping and casting facilities in Michigan and Indiana will be affected given that they provide parts to assembly plants in Canada and Mexico
🚨NEW: Jeep and Ram truck manufacturer laying off 900 workers at five US factories, in response to Trump tariffs.
A reminder: tariffs don’t create jobs, they destroy them.
Trump's announcement is like the classic table-cloth pull trick only where all the dishes and glasses fly on to the floor and break.
Keep hearing people say protests against first Trump administration were ineffective. Evidence suggests otherwise.
honestly this stuff is insulting
If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.
A shutdown starts at midnight tonight, and there is still time to reject the GOP's harmful, partisan slush-fund for Trump and Musk.
Their CR also would impose draconian spending cuts on Washington, D.C., which would be devastating for children in the nation’s capital.
The level of antisemitism like actual antisemitism against Jews that people are willing to tolerate for the sake of Israel is truly extraordinary.
And I'm not even addressing the racism against Palestinians here.
Jewish Voice for Peace has a really useful tool/script that makes it simple to call your reps about Mahmoud Khalil's chilling arrest

Donald Trump is following through on his promise to lower prices by making stocks much more affordable for the American people. Promises made, promises kept.
If this is real - and we should verify it is - we all really HAVE to demonstrate we have Senate Dems' backs. Next week is congressional recess. If this holds, be ready with a loud and enthusiastic THANK YOU if you have a Dem Senator. This is how we build a unified opposition party.
Let's hope you are brave enough to not support unconstitutional cuts to appropriations; folks are looking for leadership -- not a vote for the cr
If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen?
We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.
look I’m not saying that grabbing a marg with some truly excellent people will fix all your problems, but it’s certainly worth a shot
A judge said Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia graduate whose arrest by ICE sparked outrage, couldn't be deported without a court order.
Spare a thought for your green-card holding and naturalized colleagues, many of whom are now doing risk-benefit calculations before speaking on anything that could be considered remotely political
1. Major news in transgender care.
Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.
They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.
Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

The cloture vote in the senate on a trans sports ban failed due to united Democratic opposition (needed 60 votes). When it matters on legislation, Democrats still have not abandoned trans folks.
Trump is SHUTTING DOWN all 8000 EV chargers at federal facilities
These EV chargers were already bought, paid for with our tax dollars, installed, and operational
THIS is what real government waste looks like
And what does Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, think of this?
