Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Janet Mills will be 79 at the start of the next senate term. No matter how popular she was as a governor, this is not what voters are asking for. Chuck Schumer continues to miss the moment.

Understand, while the traditional @democrats.org may be an ally in the fight against Stumpy, they are all in on the status quo that got us here to begin with.

That MUST change!

While we welcome their assistance, the victory will come from "We The People".

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

Good, now tell your state police to stand down in helping ICE or "crowd control", a euphemism for helping ICE.

The only payment I will receive for the #NoKings protests is the pleasure of seeing all the #ICENAZIs face a tribunal one day along with the Fascist Regime that enabled them.
