What those who build ballrooms and monuments to themselves, who rake in billions from foreign princes while the people's savings disappear with their hospitals, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls.

Rep. Jamie Raskin

Springsteen spoke for America last night from Nats Park when he said Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund is "an American outrage."

The people’s representatives in Congress cannot allow hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to be showered on MAGA partisans and white nationalist foot soldiers.

Has Justice Become a Diplomatic Light Switch? \ \ Yesterday, the Associated Press broke a story that stopped me cold.

Not only was the Supreme Court's Callais decision cynical and wrong, it has now resulted in the Republican governor of Louisiana declaring state of emergency to suspend the ongoing congressional election. If you think this ends in Louisiana or with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Hey media--

Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections.

Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice.

Maduro is gone and there may be hope for Venezuela in the near future. That is true, and also, that does not make Trump a good guy. Not in a personal sense, and not in a political figure sense.

My criticism of Trump is not personal. It is principled. It comes from recognizing patterns—patterns I as a Venezuelan know all too well. The cult of personality. The attacks on the press. The erosion of institutions. The normalization of lies. The demand for loyalty over truth.\ \ My criticism of Trump is not personal. It is principled.

Fabulous note by our own Ade (Adelys) Ferro

When It Looks Like Fascism, Sounds Like Fascism, and Feels Like Fascism — It Is Fascism \ \ The word fascism should never be used lightly. It is not a slogan, not an insult, not a shortcut for political disagreement. Fascism is a real and specific form of authoritarian power, and invoking it carelessly weakens our ability to recognize it when it truly appears. But there is a point where caution becomes denial — and we have passed that point.\ \ Ade (Adelys) Ferro

You cannot fight authoritarianism abroad while flirting with it at home. You cannot defend democracy in Venezuela while undermining it in the United States. You cannot claim to stand with the oppressed while dehumanizing immigrants, mocking asylum seekers, or turning suffering into a campaign tool.\ \ You cannot fight authoritarianism abroad while flirting with it at home.

“I have lived the consequences of moral shortcuts. Venezuelans have lived them for decades. We know what happens when the world chooses convenience over principle, oil over people, optics over accountability. We know what happens when strongmen are normalized, when lies are tolerated, when institutions are weakened “just a little” for strategic reasons.”
