Caliban ( Call Congress Daily)
@wolfsprings.bsky.social
We are fighting a dictatorship that is trying to establish itself permanently. Call representatives in Congress daily. Give money to democrats running against republicans. Take the House and the Senate.
Mia Brett@queenmab.bsky.social · 8h agoI originally included El-Sayed in my piece on political masculinity for @rewirenewsgroup.com but it didn’t make the cut. Chris Hayes being impressed by his 315 bench press shows the appeal to men. But its interesting El-Sayed hasn’t been touted as masculine by pundits
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need anything from Amazon today…
It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike. When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.
Corporate America got billions of dollars in tariff refunds. Where’s your cut? | CNN Business
Apple got an estimated $2.2 billion tariff refund last quarter. Amazon got $600 million. Nike got $300 million. But American consumers who paid higher prices as President Donald Trump’s tariffs filter...

1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵
But our current Congress, as an institution, is too corrupt and cowardly to fulfill its constitutional duty to exercise this power and duty. And that, sadly, is where we are today.
We disgrace ourselves as a nation each and every day Donald Trump remains in office. The drafters of the United States Constitution provided a remedy for a criminally insane president like the one we have—impeachment and removal ...
Democrats have legislation that will make Social Security solvent for as far as the actuarial eye can see without cutting benefits. Where's the Republican proposal? It doesn't exist. - @whitehouse.senate.gov
A republican senator said there’s nothing they can do, in their majority, to reign in the President. Congress is the most powerful branch of the three, what a fucking cowardly thing to say. Certainly not alpha male speak.
Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”

In her new book Jill Lepore, a Harvard professor, notes that America’s constitution has “one of the lowest amendment rates in the world”. How has that shaped the country?
America’s constitution is too hard to change

Sir. You just became a bestie, cause you see what I've been saying. You can't win the country if you're only winning blue districts.
Matt Seyfang@mseyfang.bsky.social · 2d agoWorth noting that in 2018, Lauren Underwood and Haley Stevens each flipped a red House seat to blue and have held that seat ever since. The test of a party is the ability to win on the other party's turf. For all the talk of DSA ascendancy, they've not once flipped a seat.
Just a reminder that the president of the United States recently had to pay almost $6 million to the woman he sexually abused and defamed, and not one reporter has asked him about it.
It doesn’t matter if it’s insurance companies wrongly denying coverage, utilities raising costs to pad their profits, or corporate investors jacking up rent — I will take on anyone to lower your costs.

Thank you to this wonderful group for having me in Muskegon Heights this morning. I was born and raised in Michigan by two small business owners who taught me grit and hard work. Those values made me the fighter I am today for MI’s small businesses.
After an anti-union company cut out their workers, I jumped into action to stand up for Michigan autoworkers. I introduced the Union Auto Workers Job Protection Act to make these anti-union tactics illegal.
NEW: The Senate is taking my lead to block Trump from letting his cronies control federal funding. I’ve been leading the charge on this in the House. It’s why I introduced my Protect Local Funding Act to stop Trump from throwing out our longstanding nonpartisan federal grant process.
11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.

He didn't really answer when you showed that polls had Stevens as the stronger candidate against Rogers either.
This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 3d agoJUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org.

Dems dumped Platner and Swalwell . Max Miller remains. That is the difference between the two parties.
This is why you hear so much forever now about how Zohran Mamdani’s election Means Everything for American Politics, while, e.g., Susan Crawford’s landslide win in Wisconsin disappears from the news forever a week later.
