I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

OK. I'm going to get a little personal with you guys. Back in November of 2023, I was laid off from my six-figure job. Fortunately, I had no debt other than my car loan. I got a job the following April, but it was in office rather than WFH. It was also less than half the pay, but it was a job.

All right, @schumer.senate.gov - Trump and his administration are saying they're not going to comply with SCOTUS' ruling. That was your red line. Are you going to start acting with urgency since democracy and rule of law are on the line? The time is NOW! If you can't, step aside as Leader.

If you’re afraid, swap it out for anger. We don’t have time to be retreating to the fetal position. We do not. You can’t allow fear to become so familiar that it becomes comfortable. That’s the path to the afterlife.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.
