What IL Rep Underwood said. Everywhere, all the time.

Lauren Underwood@laurenunderwood.bsky.social

I’ve been asked a LOT of questions about how to protect this year’s elections from Republican meddling. My response is we should expect them to try to mess with our elections—and we HAVE to make sure we're prepared to protect the vote anyway. Full video: youtu.be/4E4WwVLbLwc

“Washington made a choice. A choice to let the laws turn to rust.” Here’s former Assistant AG for the U.S. Antitrust Division Jonathan Kanter on how Trump’s admin is failing to enforce the antitrust laws on the books. And how we can actually lower costs for Americans.

Disappointed that a long scroll of BSky about Dick Tater’s illegal Venezuelan op found only one mention — a quote of Pierre Poilievre, amazingly enough — in support of Edmundo González, the actual winner of the Jul 2024 Venezuelan election. 1/3

Found this fresh update on Wikipedia: After Nicolás Maduro was detained by US forces on 3 Jan 2026, opposition leader María Corina Machado called for González to assume the presidency, to which he responded that he was "ready to rebuild our nation" and that the coming hours would be "decisive”. 2/3

With 5 yrs remaining of the 6 yr term González won, what do you think… Could the US salvage some shred of credibility out of this shameful debacle by facilitating the long-delayed formation of an elected Venezuelan administration? 3/3

Allow this to serve as my periodic reminder to everyone that Congress has the power to stop this but they don’t want to because THIS has been the plan all along.

The chances of us even having another election, or an election where they honor the true results, appear to be dwindling by the day.

Brief but excellent summary in this APM article. TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to build a natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Cook Inlet. How much renewable energy production and storage infrastructure could be built instead for those billions? alaskapublic.org/news/2025-12...

alaskapublic.orgIs the Alaska gasline a pipe dream? Skeptics flag concernsWhile President Trump has framed the pipeline as a centerpiece to his plans for “unleashing” the country’s energy, there are many questions surrounding the mega project.

“The chat offers an unfiltered look at how a new generation of GOP activists talk when they think no one is listening.” And this should surprise anyone how? This is who they’ve always been, going to church, acting like “nice people” all the while saying stuff like this on the DL.

Every. Single. Word. of Edward Murrow’s statement re: McCarthyism describes tRumpism to a, um, “t.” The technologies we use advance rapidly; social justice, not so much. Thank you @rbreich.bsky.social for sharing that clip!

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

All together now, join the thousands who have already cancelled those Disney streaming subscriptions and especially $$$ vaca/cruises. Make it hurt. I’d be ok w reinstatement w apology…and let’s throw in personal donations from CEOs of Disney, Sinclair and Nexstar to the charity of Jimmy’s choice?

Lee Ann Medlin Bauer@leeannmbauer.bsky.social

We’ll see just how sorry, shall we?

So it wasn’t exactly a full-throated apology, but wow, Disney actually caved pretty fast. Would it be reasonable for us to re-activate our Disney accounts? (Full disclosure, NHL is the only pro sport I care about, and pre-season just started so… 🏒)

I just watched the 2 part Ken Burns PBS program on Thomas Jefferson. The straight lines from then to TODAY were plain as day. Jefferson/Adams frenemies re federalism/dem republic, dirty journos, rogue SC, racism, int’l trade. Despite being “old” — released 1997 — IMO entirely worth your time.

Kirk’s own epitaph: “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” Amend the constitution where it falls short. Every other modern democracy has hunters, sport shooters, collectors…yet tiny fractions of US gun violence.

Alaska AFL-CIO President Joelle Hall spoke powerfully today at the "Workers over Billionaires” Mat-Su United for Progress rally in Palmer, AK. Three clips totaling less than 8 minutes. Please watch even if you're not an Alaskan (but especially if you are).
