So true.

Does anyone doubt the intent to cheat and steal the midterm elections this fall? This is how our democracy dies if we are not actively resisting. How Trump Is Using Federal Agencies to Target Elections www.nytimes.com/video/us/ele...

This is NOT how communists govern. Far from being communists, Democrats are actively working to preserve democracy. Vote for them.

Amen.

This is a cartoon and it’s effective. But are we comfortable knowing that unarmed people are being killed in our country, America, and our government is not holding the shooters to account. This should be driving a bigger pushback.

Trump ran against forever wars. So he bumbled into this thing with Iran, showed them they don’t need a nuclear weapon; the Strait is more effective, and now they won’t let him leave with dignity. Sad and humiliating. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/w...

So i expect Russia will be desperately trying to escalate pain as will Ukraine since both are out of air defense. So it will be a massive escalation to try to reach the “uncle” pain threshhold first. Give Ukraine air defense now

How about this for New Jersey @mikiesherrill.bsky.social ??

I am looking forward to seeing a side-by-side comparison between the “deal” that Trump negotiates vs the JCPOA, negotiated by Obama, that Trump tore up.

This is a little off topic but Andy Kim’s leadership is why we should not have term limits for congress. He’s sincere and it would be a shame to remove him bc of a term limit. What we need is real electoral competition. Then voters could vote out poor performers and keep good ones

Times are different now than in the 1790’s. Life expectancy is longer . People who spend decades in office insulated from the everyday life of regular citizens cannot effectively manage the law for the well being of those people. They’re out of touch.

How is it that white Catholic judges can strike down a law that was passed by Congress over 60 years ago bc they determined that the basis for the law no longer exists? Shouldn’t that be up to Congress?

Conservatives have long claimed that adverse rulings were made by “activist judges”. Unelected judges deciding that we don’t need a law that was passed by Congress 60+ years ago seems pretty activist. Conservative Justices See Progress on Racism www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...

“We recall what Douglass said about an earlier July 4: ‘To side with the right, against the wrong, with the weak against the strong, and with the oppressed against the oppressor! Here lies the merit, the one which, of all others, seems unfashionable in our day.’” open.substack.com/pub/defendin...

In a democracy public officials must be accountable to the public. When public opinion suggests you’re going in the wrong direction, you must change course or…. If we allow him to co-opt our elections then we will have lost the right of self governance.

Does anyone wonder why these people govern this way when they know they have elections in 8 months? Pay attention to the SAVE Act that was just passed by the House. Perhaps they have a plan to fix their unpopularity.

The Constitutional way to do this would be to work with Congress. Only Congress can levy taxes and his herky-jerky performance illustrates why. But he won’t do that bc tariffs are unpopular and so Congress wouldn’t go along. That’s how democracy is designed to work.

Great job by @kim.senate.gov pointing out the careless intrusion of ICE in Roxbury, NJ. It is disconcerting to note that this government is certainly not acting as though they feel the need to worry about the will of the voters in November.
