The wannabe dictator and his fascist cabal think they’re a tidal wave, crashing to wash everything away. But they’re just rough waves on the shore — lots of menacing noise and foam.

The real tide is us steady and rising.

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.

As a former federal agent and the daughter of a career law enforcement officer, nothing is more important to me than Virginians’ safety.

That’s why I’m proud to have earned the endorsement of the Virginia Police Benevolent Association.

We’re at the Supreme Court today defending the rights of Black voters in Louisiana.

Self-identified “non-African Americans” are challenging the state’s congressional map for increasing the number of majority-Black districts from 1 to 2.

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.

I don’t know how I missed this one but the Texas National Lard got recalled due to the nonstop ridicule from social media regarding their chunky physiques.

Keep up the great work resisters!

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

"Compromising research-based discovery and innovation in favor of short-term corruption and anti-intellectualism will only make America a second-class power. It will undermine economic growth and the health of our citizens. It’s a man-made disaster."

Not going on bended knee to Washington would be a good start.

The aftermath of the Russian attack on #Kharkiv last night:

"First, there was an explosion somewhere nearby, and then… I don't remember anything. The glass cut my legs. It was terrible, just terrible," says one of the victims of the Russian strike on the hospital grounds in Kharkiv.
