The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

If there were still an office of public integrity at the dept of justice, the decision to prosecute a sitting member of Congress of the opposite party would’ve had serious vetting. But the OPI was dismantled early on, I fear for exactly this purpose.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people. Good morning

62 years ago today, JFK signed the Equal Pay Act into law. Yet in 2023, women in VA were still being paid about 79 cents for every dollar a man made for doing the same job. That's not fair, which is why I’ll keep pushing to turn the Paycheck Fairness Act into law to ensure fair pay.
