I agree w/fossil fuel stance & getting big money out of elections. I'm concerned about infighting & referring to Dem as "opponent'.
We need huge umbrella right now that welcomes anybody who stands against fascism of current regime. Run on your strengths/differences w/o negative label of fellow Dems.

U.S. Judge Susan Illston has issued an order halting the Trump Administration’s plans to lay of 4,100 federal employees during the government shutdown.

The decision to target these workers was clearly politically motivated, as evidenced by…

You’re 100% correct. For a whole career when we did raids we had uniform people with us -badges name tags ID numbers always always always. It’s not for PR. It’s because this is America. We don’t have secret police.

It’s heartbreaking to see the Republicans screw us like this

Don’t dare record fascist goons! They’re kidnapping us citizens for doing so now in Chicago.

When a picture says a thousand words…

#TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

First responders and reservoir managers in California are flying blind during storm season because Donald Trump thought it was a good idea to take a chainsaw to federal forecasting services.

We're doing all we can to fill those gaps and protect communities from winter floods.

We now go to 1787 and the original 'No Kings' protest.

Well, MAGA Mike, I'm not sure that's the message.

Unless "stood with the Capitol police" means your people beating them with flag poles and hosing them down with bear spray on January 6.

"Why doesn't Chicago want us to zip-tie more naked children in the middle of the night and shove them, screaming, into vans? So ungrateful for refusing our kind, helpful offer to help!"

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

& they are getting paid, while air traffic controllers and TSA are not.. even though they're working a job that is essential for travel & transportation in America.
Meanwhile our government is giving $20-40B to Argentina, claiming they can't afford for American citizens to have access to healthcare.

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."

The people of Portland and Chicago were unavailable for comment on "THE PRESIDENT OF PEACE."

They're all busy protesting the war he has declared on their cities.

My statement after today’s guilty plea for the individual charged in the assassination attempt and arson attack at the Governor’s Residence.

🤮😡👎😈 pure evil

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

If ICE had an iota of wit to them, they wouldn't be marching out looking like steers in a china shop. They'd have two or three plain clothes agents setting up a vegan, gluten free bakery stand in response.

Then again, if they had that wit, they wouldn't be cruelly abusing immigrants either.

i feel way too old for that but i cannot help falling in love with Zack Polanski.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
