Fierce defender of Democracy. Given the dangerous far-right extremism we need to work together to increase awareness and defeat the rise of fascism in America and around the World. Silence is complicity.

If you’re furious about the allegations against sleazeball Eric Swalwell, wait until you hear about the man a unanimous jury found liable for sexual abuse, and who not only didn't resign, but he went on to become President of the United States, receiving over 77 million votes.

If Melania Trump wants to support Jeffrey Epstein’s victims and clear any perceived ties to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, she should call for the full release of the Epstein files, as required by law.

Jared Kushner isn’t getting nearly enough blame for helping drag the U.S. into the Iran war by working with his friend, Benjamin Netanyahu, to manipulate his impulsive, reckless father-in-law. Jarod's corrupt father, Charles Kushner, is a long-time friend of Netanyahu.

Now that Todd Blanche has replaced Attorney General Pam Bondi, we need to double down on the release of ALL the Epstein files as they are legally obligated to do. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TODD BLANCHE!

As if the catastrophe created by Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump were not enough, Netanyahu is now invading southern Lebanon, displacing over 1 million people. Telling civilians not to shelter others echoes some of the darkest chapters in history.

I don’t think most Americans, including Democrats, grasp how Trump’s war with Iran has pushed global risk to a far more dangerous level than anything we’ve seen before. I used to view the risk of a Great Depression or nuclear war as under 1%. Now I see both above 10%. That should alarm everyone.

1/2 Questions for Trump: What exactly was the evidence that Iran was “on the verge of launching a preemptive strike against America” that led you to justify attacking Iran without Congressional approval?

2/2 Did your belief that “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump”, as you posted, play any role in your decision to attack Iran? How many American lives are you willing to sacrifice? How much do you estimate the war on Iran will eventually cost the American taxpayers?

The Trump administration will fight tooth & nail to protect Howard Lutnick, because if Lutnick is forced to resign, it would mean that Trump, who has far more connections to Epstein, would need to resign. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/27/e...

cnbc.comEpstein files: Rep. Mace says she'll call Trump Commerce chief Lutnick to testifyRep. Nancy Mace's comments came before the House Oversight Committe was to question ex-President Bill Clinton about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump and Bondi are deliberately and illegally redacting and withholding incriminating files relating to potential evidence of Trump abusing a 13-year-old. Bondi is withholding three FBI reports relating to the crime. IT'S A COVER-UP! • 18 U.S.C. § 1505 • 18 U.S.C. § 1512 • 18 U.S.C. § 1519

Trump doesn't give a damn about the people of Venezuela. This isn't about drug trafficking. It's all about Venezuela's massive oil reserves. Bonus points for distracting attention from the Epstein files and Jack Smith's testimony.

So the DOJ inexcusably failed to redact the name of a survivor and, at the same time, deliberately & inappropriately, redacted the names of potential sexual predators and close associates of Epstein.

1/2 Very good news today that Trump is backing down from his massively harmful tariffs! I suspect, if anything, China benefited more from the trade deal than America, but at this point I don’t care as I am just glad Trump’s reckless tariff foolishness appears to be winding down...

2/2 ...before it does any more damage to our economy. In addition to damaging our economy and undermining our international trade relationships the Trump administration has severely damaged the perception of America and our standing on the world stage.

Newsom and now Whitmer extending the olive branch to far-right fascist is incredibly wrong and politically idiotic. I used to like both of them. Meanwhile Pritzker, Buttigieg, AOC and Bernie are rising stars.

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Trump is now on Twitter posting doctored photos of the tattoos of Kilmar Garcia. The whole world knows we have a deranged lunatic in the White House—and no one seems to know what to do about it. He is so obviously mentally unwell that there is no longer any serious debate about whether that is so.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Someone explain to me how TSLA, which has declining revenues and massively declining profits trades with a trailing PE ratio of 117? Stocks with flat or declining earnings typically trade with PE's below 10. What am I missing?

Anyone else suffering from bandwidth issues as all of the different groups/influencers pushing Substack, Bluetooth, Tik Tok, and other messaging to Democrats? I love Bulwark and Meidas as well as a several others but they are beginning to cannibalize each other.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

It's kind of sad, a handful of privileged, ultra-rich women pretending to be astronauts.

A crew of six women, including pop star Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos's fiancé Lauren Sanchez, is set to blast off today on an 11-minute Blue Origin flight. It marks the first all-female space mission in 60 years — hailed as a breakthrough for gender equality in space tourism.

Trump has single-handedly destroyed America's credibility and relevance. The US Treasury bill and the US dollar are losing their stability, which could be disastrous for America's economy.
