I think Trump is cookedβ€”and it’s helpful for us to say so, repeatedly and often.

Authoritarians use fear to compel obedience. Once people start thinking about what they’ll do once he’s gone, they’re much less likely to obey his commands.

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers β€” and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

AOC: It’s beyond just the American service members who have tragically died in this, and our hearts do go out in prayer to their families, but also the over 100 Iranian schoolgirls who have been killed in these attacks, and the countless people who are affected, possibly displaced as well.

Top Democrats, voting rights experts slam Trump's draft illegal order to seize control of voting "This is unconstitutional and insane," said Norm Eisen, the executive chair of State Democracy Defenders Fund and a former Obama administration official.

Following reports that anti-voting activists are coordinating with the White House on an emergency executive order allowing President Donald Trump to take control of voting, top Democratic lawmakers warned Trump is setting the stage to steal the midterms.

Pls call your Senators and tell them to oppose the GOP’s Save America Act: 202-224-3121. This is important bc MAGA is still trying to pressure Thune to force Ds into a talking filibuster in the hope that exhaustion or unforeseen circumstance will prevent Ds from succeeding. It’s all over X today.
