AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Spare us the patronizing 'bless her heart' comments. It took Speaker Johnson less than 24 hours to swear in his Republican colleagues.

He’s stalling because he’s scared of his puppet master Donald Trump.

This delay isn’t about process. It’s about obstruction. #ReleaseTheFiles

The convicted felon is very eager to jail as many Democrats as he possibly can. The Rule of Law means absolutely nothing under Trump.

The Dems are trying to build enough leverage to force Trump to cede some of the power he’s been grabbing illegally. Will Trump cede any? How bad do things have to get for him to cave? I don’t know but the shutdown could go on a very long time.

Thune seems aware that the shutdown could look very different in the context of the No Kings protest. It could expose the lie that the Democrats are playing to extremists and make Dem demands seem even more legit.
