One reason you can’t win over authoritarians with appeals to America’s best traditions is that they hate America’s best traditions.

It's just dumb feelgood posting, but sitting on social media and demanding 25A, resignation, jail, or impeachment serves to hurt Dems.

You shouldn’t need a guy who has actively harmed your child for more than a decade with his language, behavior, & political policies to say the right slur in order to vote against helping him in the first place. 🙄

AIPAC
Is
Not
"Foreign"

"America" is literally the first word in the group's name.

Nor does it have mass "influence" compared to PACs that spend 5 to 100 x more like Heritage or, say the DSA.

Now ask why Reed et al single out one and only one group
He's trying to spin. I'm awaiting the block. 💅

People who experience a medical emergency while in DHS’ custody are being admitted into hospitals under fake names, preventing their families and lawyers from finding them.

We've fought back, and the courts have ruled: this sh*t is NOT legal.

She never should have been there. Not for that. The President put them in unnecessary danger.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

Accountability for attacking our democracy cannot depend on who your friends are in Washington.

As SOS, I removed Peters from overseeing elections when she compromised our systems. As Attorney General, I will always defend the rule of law and protect our democracy.

Amazon's Black Friday is a scam. They marked up items about 20% then marked them down to basically what they were before. There are items I'd price-shopped on Amazon and bought for $5 on Walmart, they're $20 on Amazon
