Today's attack on two members of the West Virginia National Guard was horrific and unconscionable.

We can confirm that a suspect is in custody for this targeted shooting and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Our prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

DHS has announced the end of temporary immigration protections for Haitians.

The decision, effective Feb. 3, 2026, affects up to more than a half million Haitians. They now face returning to a country plagued by criminal gangs that control all major roads into the capital Port-au-Prince.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

I’m horrified by the news coming out of our nation’s capital today.

Our guardsmen selflessly dedicate themselves to service. This violence cannot be normalized in our country.

Minnesota is sending our love to the families of the service members who were killed.

The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, DC today is a horrible tragedy. We must all condemn this kind of unacceptable violence.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

Are their board members in the files?
The Washington Post editorial board decided the Epstein files have “no public interest” before even seeing them. That’s a stunning position for any newsroom to take. Praising Clay Higgins as the lone ‘no’ vote, too? No wonder no one trusts legacy media. Absolutely disgusting.

Actually, I used to be on that same page; however, I’ve changed my mind. Impeachment allows Democrats to take the narrative and focus talk on the impeachable offenses. At the same time they should be talking about flipping Congress.

We don’t have the votes, but until we do, put it out there.

In normal democracy terms, we've in bad shape and things are getting worse.

In consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're doing pretty well, as the regime is haphazard, meeting resistance, and growing increasingly unpopular.

Depends on one's perspective. I started using the latter standard in Jan.
It is good to see the pushback on Trump lead to real losses for him. But it's hard to be optimistic when he still wields the enormous power of the presidency. ICE is still rampaging, HHS is harming people, the U.S. may be about to sell out Ukraine, the boat strikes...he's still doing so much damage.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

California beaches are some of the best in the world. And Trump’s ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ policy to open up our California coast poses a SIGNIFICANT threat to our environment, recreation, and maritime economy.

It’s unacceptable, and we are going to fight back.
