Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words. This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. ✊📖

The first thing I'd do as President would be abolishing ICE. The second would be a $10,000 bounty on every ICE agent taken into custody. It would be worth it just knowing they're no longer on America's streets.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

If only there were a law that said: "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned" We could call it 18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting

We don’t talk about Russ Vought enough and he’s the most powerful villain in Washington, D.C.

Republicans are staring down a political nightmare: losing the House — and possibly the Senate. Whatever happens in the midterms, one thing is certain: Trump officially becomes a lame duck just 56 days from now. Democrats: organize, volunteer, donate, and vote. Let’s make these 56 days count!

We democratized fundraising on my campaign by live-streaming instead of calling rich people, increasing donations by 500%. Our friends at Hovercast just launched Hovercast Events to make that strategy accessible to every campaign, not just the digital natives. Learn more at hovercast.events/go/kat

LIVE from the National Mall: Thousands are gathered to celebrate the 63rd anniversary of The March on Washington with a renewed call to defend the vote. Justice is an ongoing fight. We are marching for those who marched before us, and for those who come after us.

People are being lynched. People are being kidnapped. People are being tortured & raped. People are being bombed. People are being disappeared. By guards. By staff. By government workers, by contractors. By mercs & military; pastors, clerics & rabbis. By police. By ICE. By neighbors. By relatives.

There's no way he legitimately won all swing states, but those who did vote for him again, are still at least 80% at fault. And we are all paying.

When it comes to your children’s health, listen to doctors. Not a president who once told Americans to inject bleach. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ immunization recommendations have not changed.

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

McGowan: The president's personal defense attorney should not be the attorney general. The man who ignored the Epstein victims and then moved Ghislaine Maxwell from a maximum security prison to where she is now, should not be the attorney general. I think Cassidy is a spineless coward.
