That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

Stop the shutdown - release the files!

🧵 great thread on things we all should be thinking about. I feel like I need to toss on some Beetles singing “All You Need is Love “ to work on reprogramming myself.

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.
