“The Madmen Call It Peace”- be happy that some of the hostages have been freed, but there is no peace deal and we all know that everything orangina touches turns to shit. #DV1 #ProudBlue

The Madmen Call It Peace

I want to talk about the end to the Gaza massacre, and closure for Israelis with the return of the hostages but I don’t have words that carry enough reverence for the weight of it all.

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"

She wasn't "arrested", she was assaulted, kidnapped, & is being unlawfully imprisoned for playing music during a peaceful protest.

The chump administration is openly trampling the rights of Americans to instill fear & silence dissent.

Public health should never be politicized.

In the wake of the federal government abandoning science for conspiracy theories, it's up to governors to step up.

Proud to join my colleagues in the Governors Public Health Alliance to keep communities safe and put our people first.

Graphic of the Governors Public Health Alliance that reads Disease doesn’t stop at state borders - and neither should state preparedness.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

Kagan: there’s a specific proven identifiable finding of a legal violation (vote dilution in violation of the voting rights act). How the fuck is that not a compelling interest for a remedy that ensures minority voters votes aren’t diluted?

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
