Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

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.

President Trump says Time magazine “deserves to be called out” for using an unflattering image of him for its cover story about his efforts in the Middle East.

It’s unclear what Trump might do about the Time cover besides complain.

The idea that the Reconstruction Amendments were for everybody is asinine.

Sotomayor: "race is *always* a part of redistricting efforts."

Thank you. See, the Republicans are trying to gaslight people by suggesting they're for "no race in gerrymandering." That's just not true. Race is ALWAYS a factor when you're drawing a map.

Kagan: "It's not about intentional discrimination because Section 2 isn't about intentional discrimination, it's about effectual discrimination."

Again, this should be the winning argument. It won't be.

Nelson has done well. I thought she sounded a little nervous at the top, but she settled into it and did the thing.

KBJ is putting in the Lord's work here also, for all the good it will do.

Nelson: "Section 2 requires neither a confession, nor an accusation of racism. It looks only at results."

This should be the winning point, but it won't, because Republicans.

Janet Mills is now in the Maine Senate race.

I will NOT be supporting her in the primary

I am offended that a 77 years old thinks that’s a good idea.

I also have no patience for anyone who takes money from AIPAC.

It’s time for new blood.

Graham Platner is electrifying the people of Maine.

Affirmation Coyotes hopes everyone has plans to become a fossil. Try to die in a shallow silty pond.

Future archeologists will thank you!

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

President Obama endorses Prop 50 — the California redistricting effort:

"California, the whole nation is counting on you."

"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."
