We can expect Trump to have his DOJ begin investigating Supreme Court Justices who ruled against him. They may even fabricate charges against them. I can tell you that will happen because it's what aspiring tyrants always do to those who dare try to check their power.

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy. If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

So a convicted rapist sex trafficker said that the alleged rapist sex trafficker isn't a rapist sex trafficker, weeks after the alleged sex trafficker moved the convicted sex trafficker to a minimum security prison! You really can't take this shit up!

Governor Abbott is abusing the flooding tragedy here in Texas to ‘redraw’ (RIG) our congressional maps. This is corruption at the highest levels of government. We have to pay attention and fight this scheme. #txlege

Did you know that almost 100% of the more than 300,000 children in foster care rely on Medicaid? What’s the plan? Just hope they don’t need medical care, and if they do, let them die?

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

The degree to which the right wing assholes think Kilmar and his family should endure the physical and emotional torture they are enduring, for no fucking reason, is a level of public sadism I have never seen in my life.

The Russians intercept Signal messages easily. Another problem with this event is that Hegseth and Rubio were clandestinely communicating on non-governmental channels in order to not be accountable… But Hillary’s emails..

At least the people who needlessly die in the next wave of hurricanes will die in a world with fewer pronouns. I'm sure that'll be a comfort to their loved ones.

Today, we honor Claudette Colvin, whose brave refusal to give up her seat on a bus at just 15 years old challenged segregation and ignited a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Her courage laid the groundwork for change and is a testament to the power of activism.
