Empathy, decency, kindness, but strength in face of tyranny. I know my history and those who don’t should study Europe in the 20s and 30s…we’re repeating all the same mistakes.

The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

Johnson is about to do ANOTHER CR to keep govt open until Sept, since he has been unable to pass his own budget. This was Johnson in NOV 2023: “I’m done with CRs. We are. We’re resolved.” He has repeatedly broken every promise he made in this clip, & is about to do it again.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

Firing upwards of 83,000 VA employees over the next year. Cutting back to 2019 numbers? WTF? 1 in every 4 employees is a veteran. What about the promises made to those who protected/protect us? Outrage is appropriate. #SheShed www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.
