“At least you know exactly who your friends are. They're the ones with matching scars.”

Feels very right for this moment.

We see you, Taylor Swift. #TheLifeofaCongresswoman

This photo just about sums it up

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

California and Brazil just signed an MOU that expands our work cutting pollution and creating more jobs in the green economy.

Our action today emphasizes that global challenges require global cooperation.

Some of us do.

Nobody’s praying harder that the rapture comes than Rubio at the U.N right now.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

The Danger of Fake Civics It’s no accident that some of the loudest voices in politics built their platforms not on policy or lived expertise, but on convincing people they alone could explain how America works.

Fake civics is dangerous. When people don't know how government works, they confuse noise for knowledge and charisma for truth. That's how democracy breaks. I dig in here: https://jaimeharrison.substack.com/p/the-danger-of-fake-civics

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Trump: "Chicago about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR"

This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

The Bolton raid should chill you: my emergency video (full video linked)

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “I don’t want to hear another Republican in Congress ever again pretend to care about deficits and debt… explain why 🇺🇸 families have to pay $3000 to ride an ambulance when we’re handing out million-dollar tax breaks to the wealthiest.”

Amen. #MedicareForAll

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Holy shiitake! He thinks MAGA will believe that files about Jeff Epstein who died in 2019 were invented by

(1) Hillary Clinton (whose husband paled around with Epstein);

(2) the Biden Administration (which began in 2021); and

(3) Barack Obama (who unlike Bill and Donald was not Jeff's friend).

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!

249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The North Carolina Democratic Party’s training department led by the fantastic Kristy Boer is hosting a candidate training series! We have over 1,700 local offices up this year and we would love to have any folks running for those offices to join us! Sign up below! ⬇️

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a bill—and it’s even uglier than before.

— At least 16 million could lose healthcare
— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
— Children will go hungry

Now it comes back to the House.

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

Take note.

Singh: The Secretary of Defense is the civilian leader of the military… But if the reporting is accurate that he’s not even part of these conversations, it shows how irrelevant Hegseth has truly become. This is what happens when you have unserious people in serious roles.

Thank you! It might be my favorite thrifting find! :)
