Proud of @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com and @liberalcurrents.com for a big get interview like this. I hope to see many more big pols come on LC shows

Liberal Currents@liberalcurrents.com · yesterday

Today @bradlander.bsky.social joins @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com to talk about organizing, what the next Congress can do to claw back what this one has taken away, court reform, the post-Trump future, and more www.liberalcurrents.com/mr-rogers-wi...

“No other branch of government can remove a member of Congress—but Congress can remove members of other branches. We should invoke that power far more often.”— @tracinski.bsky.social has a lot of other cool ideas along that line, and he’s sharing them with @liberalcurrents.com readers.

Dems Need a Project 2027

The 120th Congress must have a plan to re-assert its power immediately. Here's a start.

Tom Homan: "It all go backs to the Dems ... there's still gonna be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted."

I’m finally going to listen to my doctor and eat more vegetables and get more fresh air

trying to imagine how hegseth sees this playing out, since the T supplements are optional. can an officer's career get underhandedly knocked off track if he doesn't take his T supplements? like a CIA agent that didn't want to join the torture program?

in the same way chuck schumer has those imaginary long island voters hes trying to win over, pete hegseth has this John Army guy he's made up in his head and he spends his time figuring out how to make John Army be bigger, whiter, tougher, more sadistic, and more virile

Democrats became great by fighting the far left—and today’s party can learn crucial lessons from those battles, David Brooks argues:

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

matt walsh is what andrew tate would be if he couldn't hack it as a human trafficker

there has been one (1) Black first lady and some MMA fighter shouted that she's a man from he white house lawn on the current president's birthday. I'd say that's conclusive

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · last mo.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

"There is, and shall be, no question." tell that to the conservative legal movement that's going to spend decades trying again on this. this isn't the end, this is the start of the clock ticking

Hakeem Jeffries@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social · last mo.

Birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. Out of many, one!

nailed this one; this is exactly what kavanaugh's partial concurrence said.

Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · last mo.

I expect a "maybe Congress could, we're not saying, but an executive order can't."

very close here. the vote was 5-3-1

David Noll@david.noll.org · last mo.

P.S. The vote will still be something like 6-2-1.

gorsuch, alito, and thomas: the president is allowed to decide he doesn't have to follow the constitution kavanaugh, the Respectable: no, actually, congress has to give him permission to do it

gorsuch is JAQing off in front of the entire country and the long arc of history

The Court is just being honest and consistent. I mean, after Citizens United, why pretend that there are any real limits to plutocratic power over politics? It's about as silly a pretense as taking off a wedding ring before going into a brothel

"it's the democratic party, love it or leave it" is probably the funniest angle you could take in this situation

Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · last mo.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
