The reason I talk so much about Democrats in rural America is because it’s key to taking the country back.
We can’t wring many more blue votes out of the cities. Come back to rural spaces. Run for office. Contest every race.
This is the way.

There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone except DOGE, which recklessly pulled funding from USAID, the government agency responsible for providing humanitarian aid to those who need it around the world. Now, an estimated 600,000 people have died, including 400,000 kids, because of DOGE's cuts.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

We had seen @RepOgles disgusting use of 9/11 to attack Zohran — but we missed him calling Keith Olbermann a “Muslim sympathizer”
Blatant, open racism. Imagine the reaction if a congressman called someone a “Jew sympathizer”? Or “Christian sympathizer”?
Why is this tolerated?
