Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
1,000 years from now, teachers will struggle to explain to their students how at this time in history, we found literally the most despicable human being in America and made him the most powerful person in the world
Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."
Trump could hand me a check for a billion dollars and I’d still vote against him.
I don’t understand why so many Americans are happy to be bribed. Don’t you have any pride?
I said it at the time (and before!), but I truly believe that American voters electing Donald Trump for a second term in 2024 was the dumbest and most self-harming choice made by an electorate in the history of humanity
Trump’s lasting impact has been debasement. He’s debased the office of President, he’s debased America’s reputation, he’s debased democracy, he’s debased diplomacy, he’s debased honesty, truth and decency. He’s debased free speech, justice for the Epstein survivors and he’s debased the future.
🔥 Charlamagne on Josh Hokit attacking Michelle: “All you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people what is currently missing from the White House. The Obamas set a standard for decency & class & poise & intelligence... Now that bar is in hell.”
Thousands of Mississippi voters receive wrong polling-place information from the state's elections database each year, causing some to miss their chance to vote.
Experts point to potential solutions, including systems other states have adopted that could help.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
Former special counsel Jack Smith also described President Trump as the "most culpable and most responsible person" in the criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results, according to a transcript of Smith's closed-door interview with the House Judiciary Committee. n.pr/49cmd6E
Jack Smith in just-released House Committee interview … about Trump:
“The attack that happened at the Capitol … does not happen without him. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit”

Everything about this wockaflocka is small. He makes everyone around his ass small. Ask yourself if he's made you smaller too. It ain't too late to stand.
Don't think I've ever felt this embarrassed to be an American. There's shame and anger too. But mostly embarrassment. We're the laughingstock of the developed world. And we should be.
"Some of the posts are funny. But that’s not the point. The point is to show how deranged this style of communication really is; we’ve all just been conditioned into accepting Trump’s defining deviancy down."
Today's Morning Shots w/ @avecruth.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:
Like most bullies, Trump can be constrained only if everyone stands up to his bullying.
Protest. Go to town halls. Protect the vulnerable in your community. Keep speaking out.
The fight against authoritarianism will take all of us — and we can't relent.
"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically *because* he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."
BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.
“It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research,” Gov. Pritzker said. “Time to stop thinking we can reason or negotiate with a madman.”

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.
They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."
Dear Global Friends,
We know how you feel. We get it. We don’t recognize these people holding power either. We don’t recognize them as legitimate expressions of our values or principles as Americans. Thank you for voicing your disapproval and opposition.
Signed,
A concerned American
The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."
Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.
