I sure would love to see all the democrats in Congress on the Capitol steps calling for impeachment in one voice. I know we can't do it without republican votes, but it sure would be nice to see a loud, unified message. I'll be calling my reps today and asking them to please do this. Join me.

Congress passed a law to place a plaque in the Capitol honoring the officers who protected the transfer of power, Members of Congress and VP Pence on Jan 6. The plaque is complete and long overdue for display. But Speaker Johnson is leaving it in a dark closet.

Giannoulias: We passed a bill through our office that became law to make sure that automatic license plate readers could not be used in cases involving abortion or immigration. We found out a few weeks ago was that a law enforcement agency in Texas was using these automatic license plate readers

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

This is sick! Have you seen ICE’s TikTok page? Propaganda on steroids, targeting young dudes chasing a sense of power. Edited like war games, built to thrill while dehumanizing immigrants. RECRUITMENT VIDEOS—for state-sponsored vigilantism.

I only discovered this within the past year or so, but sash windows were designed to enable passive ventilation. If you open them at the top and bottom they suck in cool air and expel hot air. It seems to work too. #HotWeather #StayingCool

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents. If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping. Why not here? 1/2

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

I am glad that today the governor signed a new law repealing New York's ban on providing food and water to people waiting in line to vote. However, it should be clearly noted that this was the result of successful litigation brought by the Brooklyn NAACP -- which the state fought and lost in court.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.
