AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law.

I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

I can't stress enough just how important it is to listen to Keith Olberman and others like him. It takes a keen mind to distill what's happening into a clear and concentrated summary, and Keith Olberman is in my opinion, one of the best.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

They agree with it.
