Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"

If he has zero interest in running for president, then my AOC/Ossoff ticket stands as a possibility. 🤣

This thought has been on my mind a lot over the past six weeks. And it’s not just people on the right. Sacrificing basic values in the name of winning is among the things he’s given permission to everywhere. So is the revival of “it’s ok to hurt women if you can win.”

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

There is no question that we need the Supreme Court expanded, we need term limits, we need a mandatory code of ethics, and we need impeachment or some other form of removal for corrupt justices. This shit can't stand. Millions of lives hung in the balance on this and it is insane that it was 5-4.

11 years ago, the landmark Obergefell decision affirmed marriage equality. While Democrats’ Respect for Marriage Act codified that victory in 2022, the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans are under attack by Republicans who want to take us back. We won’t stop fighting for full equality.

As the screwworm spreads... Remember that Elon Musk’s DOGE cut $15M from a screwworm monitoring program. And we're now learning that Trump’s USDA delayed a project to develop new ways to contain the parasite and held up construction of a monitoring facility. The incompetence is dangerous.

Thank you, Rep. Goldman, for shining a light and keeping the pressure on. We must not give up on the people being held inside.
Screenshot of a tweet from @daniel... (Daniel Goldman) on X, posted 12 hours ago, reading: "I spent two hours yesterday at Delaney Hall in Newark where 700 detainees are being held by ICE. What I saw and heard was horrific: worm-infested food, no access to medical care, no way to connect with their families. Many of the detainees were lawful visa holders, including one 18-year-old who is missing her graduation and prom because she is being held in a cell. This is not America. This is unacceptable, and it has to stop now." An embedded video thumbnail shows Goldman speaking directly to camera, wearing a blue checked shirt.

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Mainstream media types: On the proportionality scale, what is going down at Delaney Hall is way more significant than billionaire Reid Hoffman being investigated by the DOJ for partially funding E Jean Carroll, or Trump’s 59th post on an Iran deal. Just in case you need some A Block advice.

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.
