Not to scare people but the US Court of Appeals gave Trump last night the okay to send National Guard Troops to any city and any state as long as Trump can show the slightest bit of evidence that people "impeded the ability of federal officers to execute the laws." Trump will abuse this ruling.

Those who keep saying “I just want to have a nuanced discuss about USAID”…. USAID has already been taken out back and shot. What nuanced discussion do you want to have about an agency that is *already dead*, and whose death is currently causing immense global suffering?

Nothing quite like eight ornery Aussies in the audience chorusing "that's a comment what's the question mate" under their breaths at a talk. It's giving me life 🤩😅🤣✨

What a devastating day. What a decisive moment for our country. We cannot let violence against elected officials become normalized. All my thoughts are with the victims and their families. This is the moment for our nation to do the hard work of choosing peace in our politics.
