Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "We want to sit in a room and have a negotiation. We don't want to negotiate through the press. I don't need to watch Senator Thune on TV in order to find out what he says he's offering. Just get in a room like adults do and we can talk this out."

He's not opening the government because he doesn't want those secret files revealed. It's not complicated.

imo if your workplace culture is such that employees feel comfortable displaying swastikas in their cubicles then the swastika-displaying employee is somehow not actually the biggest problem

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people.

The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
