I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

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.

After looking at your feed I feel so much better about the conclusion I jumped to. You’re the right. You don’t watch and just stamp approval. Totally checks. Also you hate Antifa and love ice. That’s amazing. If you’re real, I’m horrified.

Trump is escalating his attacks on US citizens because Mike Johnson can’t hold off the congress for much longer. Once government is in session enough votes have reportedly been obtained to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

Thoughts on this:

#CollectiveCourage: “It’s also important to note Disney’s final assessment: Protesters were more powerful than Trump.

That should give hope. Because when millions act quickly, strategically, and together, even authoritarian overreach can be stopped cold.”

Jimmy Kimmel's censorship seemed like a done deal, but then millions acted quickly, strategically and together for a significant movement win.

They’ve canceled visas and deported people for much less.

But when it’s their own, we’re all supposed to sweep it under the rug and move on.
