Married. Love animals and the beach. Patriotic Democrat who, at the moment, is ashamed of my country and my state of Florida. Struggling to balance staying informed while maintaining my sanity. Stay tuned. 🚫 DMs

Trump, forgetting his recent effort to co-opt the issue, called affordability "a fake word, it doesn't mean anything to anybody." Just putting that out there in case anyone in an opposition party wants to use it.

Trump isn’t just owned by Putin. He wants to be like Putin. For that to happen, he must destroy the US as we know it. That’s always been the plan.

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE “agents”. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara notes the MPD will not work with federal agents & says "In moments like this, I know how real the fear is in our community. People are going to want to speak out, protest, & exercise their 1st Amendment rights. We will absolutely defend people's right to do just that"

NEW: Trump just argued that Jack Smith's final report — chronicling the criminal case against him for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — should never be made public.

Trump urged Aileen Cannon in a new court filing to permanently extend her order blocking DOJ from releasing the report.
Trump: Jack Smith classified documents report should remain secret
Trump’s request is a break from the Justice Department’s handling of all special counsel reports in recent decades.

I honestly believe the only reason Republicans are starting to sound like they have more values because midterms are coming up. If it wasn’t for that, they wouldn’t care.

Did I miss the vote on extending the ACA subsidies that was the hard won triumph that caused a group of Dems to vote to end the shutdown? How did that go?

Yesterday the Wisc. Elections Commission yet again dealt with a situation where a candidate only submitted 51 nomination signatures for a race that required 50 signatures. DO NOT DO THIS. No matter the # of signatures required, plan on submitting an additional 50%. 1/

You have until 7 to get in line to vote in TN-07 special election. If you are in line, STAY IN LINE, they have to let you vote. If anyone tries to tell you different record them and report them.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

The US is now a rogue nation.

As expected the negotiations failed. However, as this goes on, it is also important to understand why we feared Soviet balkanization in 1991 and why Biden feared it as well.

So we are reaching the end of another effort by the Trump administration to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"

We can't afford to allow Trump to continue. The more they get away with their lawlessness the more lawless they will be. It's time for our former leaders in law, military and politics get their plans complete and start the takeover. So many Americans are waiting on real leadership to fight.

the U.S. government illegally killed him. His relatives say Alejandro Carranza was on a routine fishing trip, and his wife told reporters he left home to fish and had no ties to drug trafficking.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.
