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?"

In belated recognition that the national guard are sitting ducks, the Trump regime now has D.C. police patrolling with guardsmen. So, who is getting protection? Surely, Americans would be safer if guardsmen stayed home and D.C. police were assigned to fight crime open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

If you fall for a billionaire telling you to hate your neighbors, especially if you claim to be Christian, I don't know, man. That's pretty stupid.

If Pete Kegsbreath follows through with his threat to court martial hero astronaut, former naval officer, and current U.S. Senator, he will further tarnish and diminish the Pentagon, and ensure a LANDSLIDE midterm victory for Democrats.

I STAND WITH SENATOR MARK KELLY!!!!🙏💪

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Trump pardoned over 1500 January 6th insurrections his FIRST DAY in office.

One of them, my constituent, is now back in custody for threatening to assassinate a Member of Congress.

Trump DOES NOT want this story getting attention.

So let's make sure EVERY AMERICAN sees it.

There are days when it can feel like it’s already over and the bad guys won. That’s how they want us to feel. But it isn’t. Not by a long shot. Let’s not make it easy for them.
