This is exactly why Dems get their ass handed to them by Trump's world. They have no clue how to leverage social media algos to their advantage.

Missouri Democratic lawmakers are in such a superminority that they don’t even need to show up for laws to be passed in this state.
An even sadder statement? A piece of legislation can go from the House to the Senate to becoming a law on the Governor’s desk while never being signed by a woman.
No truer words have been spoken. 😳👇
Greg Abbott is a punk.
Texas Democrats haven’t broken a single law, so there’s zero grounds to arrest them, let alone prosecute. Abbott clearly doesn’t even know his own state’s constitution.
Quorum-breaking is a political move, not a crime.
If we can afford to put all those "criminals" in jail, we can afford to put all those "homeless" people in housing.
Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the White House is looking at the Epstein scandal.
The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee.
The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.
Sadly the people who most need to watch this whole thing won’t. But we sure will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

A primer for the civically ill-informed.
I don’t care what religion you are it what religion the people involved are. This is gross inhumanity. People should be respected as human beings, no matter their birthplace, religion, skin color, location, education level, skills. You don’t need to “earn” human rights and basic fucking decency.
The United States and Brazil appeared to have launched a sudden trade war on Wednesday.
Trump writes one of the most unhinged letters ever produced by an American president, demanding the right to interfere with Brazil’s case against Bolsinaro and threatening huge tariffs if they don’t let him walk free, and this your lede?
My midweek meltdown. I lost my shit on this one. And I’ll do it again & again. Because this must not be who we are. Have a listen & a read.👇 substack.com/@socialcontr...

Ex-DOGE guy: “The whole operation has always been done on Signal, so nothing actually has to change about that operationally for him to continue telling people what to do, getting reports, et cetera …You don't need a government laptop or email or anything like that to tell people what to do.”
North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein on Trump wanting the states and not FEMA to handle disaster response: "We don't get a huge storm every year. The country does. It doesn't make sense for each state to have a fully staffed emergency response team."
New in PN: The worst chief justice of all time
"American history has no shortage of legendarily bad chief justices and disgraceful decisions. But John Roberts has overseen the wholesale corruption and capture of the Supreme Court, and history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."
The thing about masked ICE agents is that they aren't just a harbinger of bad things to come (though they are). They represent a significant breach of norms and undemocratic shift that has already happened.
Transparency at all stages of the judicial process is a pillar of democracy.
I was a teenager by the time my mom got a job that paid her benefits and enough money to stop working multiple jobs.
Her struggle reflects a reality for far too many working women. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay is a reminder of why we must keep pushing for an economy that works for everyone.

It doesn't matter where you stand on the underlying issues. We can't tolerate this.
BREAKING: Emails given to Congress by DOJ whistleblower reveal new details about the Abrego Garcia fiasco. They show how Trump officials searched for ways to paint him as a dangerous criminal and gang "leader" and couldn't find any. But smears continued.

i am very curious about this incident which includes over a dozen people in body armor and carrying guns who went to an ICE facility and took to vandalizing cars/cameras & shooting fireworks “in an apparent attempt to lure” ICE outside to shoot at them www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/a...
New in PN: The Republican budget is a climate horror
"Republicans have gone from acknowledging climate change is real but insisting we should do nothing about it, to delivering all sorts of harm to the country so they can make it worse. You won’t find better evidence of how radical they've become."
