Start here. Also, cut the purity crapola, we need a broad coalition to unite in order to combat what’s ahead of us.

Children’s book, a parable of our times.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump is facing sharp criticism for bypassing Congress and conducting an overnight military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, the authoritarian leader of Venezuela, and bring him to the United States to stand trial. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Trump's memo, Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence, also known as NSPM-7, is the single most dangerous move against American liberty that I've seen in my lifetime. We're moving into a no man's land that threatens to further destabilize the bill of rights.

NEW: A day for the Democratic appointees on SCOTUS — but what does it mean? Justices Jackson, Sotomayor, and Kagan each wrote a majority decision on Thursday. The decisions provide some insights into their approach in this moment. This afternoon, at Law Dork:

Your too much online, Dems in the real world, the one that voters live in, are still popular and as all the special elections have shown, voting overwhelmingly for them. Maybe attend your local Dem party committee meeting 🤔

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

"The question is why the executive branch is taking such actions that are contrary to the code of ethics adopted by all 50 state Supreme Courts... ...There is never,never a wrong time to stand up for what is right." William Bay,President American Bar Association www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjQW9GaN/

Maybe Trump won't run again. Maybe he'll lose and accept defeat. Maybe the Supreme Court rules a third term unconstitutional, and he obeys the court's ruling. But if he doesn’t acknowledge defeat—or accept the Court’s decision—who’s going to stop him?

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, Rep. Robert Garcia discusses the GOP's latest attack on the American people, handing huge tax breaks for billionaires while slashing health care and basic needs programs for working class people. Democrats will keep fighting to stop this scam.

"In the broadest terms, the bill is an enormous upward transfer of wealth — perhaps the largest in history — taking from those with lower incomes and giving to the rich. And in its details there are dozens if not hundreds of blows to the economy." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
