🚨 H.R. 9495 is a giant threat to free speech. It gives Trump unchecked power to label any nonprofit as "terrorist-supporting" without evidence or due process—opening the door to crush his opposition and silence dissent.

A bill that would let Donald Trump unilaterally revoke tax-exempt status from nonprofits is being fast-tracked through Congress.

If you are looking for a list of Dems who need to be primaried, a good place to start is House reps voting tomorrow for this bill that will give Trump expanded "terrorism" authorities to defund nonprofits ⬇️

Today the House Ways & Means Committee will mark up a bill that if passed could become the most harmful piece of US terrorism legislation since the early years of the War on Terror https://t.co/gklLNTDWSO

The effort to align union contracts to expire May Day 2028 is very hopeful and exciting, though still very much coming into being, and something to watch closely the next 4 years. It will culminate during another election cycle. https://t.co/9JA5ABIDIr.

Donald Trump wants revenge. And he might get a major assist from Democrats in making that happen. On Tuesday, Congress is poised to approve a powerful new tool that Trump could use to crush his political enemies Scoop by me, via @theintercept

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.

pre-mortem: i disagree with like 90% of what the dems have done, but im also skeptical of all the "would have won if they did x" takes. fascism has a pretty high floor in this country and i think inflation (which is essentially a covid phenomenon) is crazy politically toxic

The incredible part is that if she loses Democrats will blame the people who asked them to stop murdering children, instead of the people who refused to stop.

harris literally said out loud on live television that she couldn't think of something she would have done differently from the deeply unpopular president that voters were screaming at for years not to run again

The excitement of Biden stepping down and Kamala getting the nomination was all about the feeling that this was something new and that things could change. The Harris campaign in the months between then and the election seemed determined to beat back that premise.

i dont want to say i told you so, but this run to the moderates looks like a spectacular failure. "lethal military," muscular border policy, and parading liz cheney didn't swing votes in dems favor and only worked to normalize republican positions.

It turns out that "I can't think of anything" is not a good answer to the question "How would you have acted differently from the incredibly unpopular incumbent president?"

Looks like Kamala Harris will not win the south end of Dearborn, an area 90+% Muslim that Biden won with 88% of the vote 4 years ago.

Damn I was sure the Dick Cheney endorsement and most lethal military stuff was gonna push Kamala to a sweeping victory.

Kamala Harris wanted to win a certain way, with a particular coalition of weird centrists and Liz Cheney. We are gonna see if that condemns the country to 4 years of Trump. Scary stuff regardless

When the entire basis for the excitement around your campaign was how you were separate from Biden, it probably would have been advisable to meaningfully play into that instead of aligning with his policies and only promising a break in the most abstract possible way.

🚨BREAKING🚨 X suspended the SwapYourVote account w/o providing an explanation, according to multiple volunteers with the project. However, the link to the site https://t.co/JeL51UWO2L is not being suppressed (which X did to the JD Vance dossier published by @kenklippenstein).🧵

i think it’s good that this group invented actual leverage out of thin air in the form of 650,000 uncommitted primary votes and mainstreamed the demand for an arms embargo. i am sorry that they failed.
