How it’s playing in France. 🤡
BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.
The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice — and our voices were heard.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks to reporters after attending a closed door briefing with Senate Armed Service Committee at the U.S. Capitol Building on March 10, 2026 in Washington, DC.

Elizabeth Warren: “For the Trump administration to say over & over, there's no money for healthcare – there's no money for childcare – there's no time to pay attention to how families are paying more – but there's a billion dollars a day to go to the Middle East & drop bombs on Iran”
No one even responded: California school official says child deportations make classrooms 'better' www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...
happening tomorrow!
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran." #IranWar

The cahoots?
If you ever wonder why so many of us warn about the Bernie adjacent folks, look no further. 👇 No matter what horror Trump and republicans are reeking in the country they will still continuously do this sh*t. 😒
The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.
Donald Trump has called me a "really bad person," a "radical” and an “election stealing lawyer.” I think he is a deranged authoritarian.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Cheering on all the incredible athletes, but especially from Illinois, at the #WinterParalympics!
Good luck in Italy — the Land of Lincoln is rooting for you.
Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.
We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon.
What a time to be alive.
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Wisdom from Jesse Jackson’s service yesterday: “You don’t forgive because they deserve mercy. You forgive because you deserve peace. Forgiveness is an emancipation.”
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word
🚨BREAKING: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is publicly offering to abandon his U.S. Senate campaign if Senate Republicans agree to change the filibuster rules and pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping anti-voting bill. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
