James Talarico - heard about him two years ago. He is impressive. So well spoken and nails the message.
James Talarico (D-TX) is going to make one hell of a US Senator. He just gets it, the system is rigged for the wealthy and well connected but we the people have the power to take it back. Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined. Watch👇💥🔥

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

“With Republicans refusing to negotiate with Democrats….with House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) keeping the House out of session, Trump leaving for Asia for a week, Republicans are making the calculation Democrats will cave when America falls into a hunger crisis.

What are we doing here, folks?”

Everything this administration does must be presumed irregular

Bolton charges are driven by revenge & dripping with suspicious DOJ moves
