Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that if a Democratic President pardoned a guy his family did business with and that guy was then accused of facilitating payments to Hamas, there would be Congressional investigations and editorial demands for impeachment proceedings

Senator Kelly & his fellow veterans are American patriots.
Their video simply reiterated the Uniform Code of Military Justice's requirement to only carry out LAWFUL orders.
Not surprising that Secretary Talk Show Host doesn't know that.

The media doesn't treat the Trump regime's allegiances with neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes as antisemitism, but Zohran's belief in Palestinian liberation is treated as antisemitism.
It's completely backwards and insane. Zohran will protect American Jews; the fascists will target American Jews.

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.
People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Tom Friedman’s piece in the NYT today again brings up the specter of Neville Chamberlain in ‘39. I disagree.
A better analogy is saying to Hitler: “keep the Sudetenland, don’t worry about the Holocaust, & we’ll give you a few years to rearm to attack into Belgium again. Let’s sign that!”

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.
