@schumer.senate.gov Shut down the govt until they release the Epstein files! The president is defying the law. The power of the purse is Congress' ONLY leverage over the other branches. USE IT FFS!!!

Bad Bunny didn’t just ask for a seat at the table.
He flipped it over and brought in a bigger one.
A new America is emerging with a more expansive view of patriotism, love of country and Americanness.
It’s coming! It’s here! Whether you like it or not.

IT’S CALLED EXTORTION FFS
LAWLER: Renaming infrastructure projects is not a new concept
KARL: Okay, but this isn't like, 'let's honor somebody.' Trump wants it named after himself! And he says he'll unfreeze the money if they do it
L: I could care less what the name of an infrastructure project is. I care that it gets done

We need a new crime category beyond felony called "high crime," which involves attacks on democracy like this. Speedy trail by a tribunal, long prison sentences, limited appeals, and no chance of pardon.

Kristi Noem must be removed. PERIOD.
Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

Trump is the least of our problems. We have a system that creates Trump voters. The next wannabe dictator will be worse unless we act decisively.

We're pillaging other countries for resources now.
