No kings, no thrones, no crowns; just a lot of voters with absolutely zero interest in being managed by a man with a crown complex. October 17, vote early and show up ready to defend the plain, radical idea that power belongs to the people. social.demcast.com/s/Cnowu5Pv #momsky#sheshed

Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

This is an absolutely terrific piece of investigative journalism. The Inspector General system was created to create an internal watchdog to track abuses within the executive branch. Under Trump it has been completely neutered. Trump is firing IGs who do their job, and replacing them with loyalists.

I have a piece in the NYT today arguing that the law should permit victims of ICE abuse to sue not just individual officers, but supervisors and policymakers like Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino. A Democratic president and Congress could do this in 2029. And they could make it retroactive.
