Trump's reference to the "enemy within" is not about immigrants. If you still think this is about immigrants, you're missing the plot. Trump has declared war on Americans who believe in democracy--all Americans who who oppose his incipient dictatorship. The majority of us.

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

Louisiana v. Callais is not just one case. It is the next step in a long-term Republican strategy to lock in political power through redistricting, the courts, and control of the law itself. Here’s how we got here ⬇️

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

Let’s be clear: the Republican shutdown continues because the Republican Speaker dares not bring back the House to face an Epstein vote they would lose and a divided caucus with vulnerables who want to extend Affordable Care credits and MAGAloons who won’t.

Lisa Murkowski said today she could understand Dems' lack of trust. She added (paraphrased)...why should they trust us when Russell Vought goes around rescinding expenditures we all agreed on and passed before?

Trump to Milei: "Do you need any Tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess, because in this country they use Tomahawks on the opposition. I don't do that. I'm much nicer. The Democrats would use them if they had the chance. They're sick people."

Just continuously reminding myself, and out loud here in case it's of any help to others, that bravery is not the absence of fear but rather a determination to act despite fear.

Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.
In Memory of MELISSA HORTMAN Former Minnesota House Speaker 1970 - 2025 Taken far too soon in a targeted attack. A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality. We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage. #RestInPower
