From an AP story: "President Donald Trump has pardoned a Nevada Republican politician who was awaiting sentencing on federal charges that she used money meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer for personal costs, including plastic surgery." Is this the POTUS who backs the Boys In Blue?

As I read reports of this administration's discussions about encouraging women to have more babies, I am reminded of Germany in the mid-30s when women were mated with good Aryan stock to have babies who served the Reich's philosophy. #WakeUpAmerica!

THE TIME HAS COME TODAY!! I am retired, so I rely on others to STRIKE! Name the day, name the week, and I will join in solidarity. Earth Day is probably too soon. May 1st seems appropriate. CALL THE STRIKE! We can no longer accept the status quo. Four years will be too late. #NationalStrike #ActNow

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Four suggestions for 2028: Wes Moore, Pete Buttigege, AOC, Cory Booker. Can you create a winning ticket from these candidates?

Thought for the day: There is nothing okay about ignoring an order from the Supreme Court. There is nothing normal about paying a country to imprison your "criminals", and it is wrong to leave an innocent man in prison. THIS IS A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. THE COURTS AND CONGRESS MUST ACT!!

Resistance, resolve and a branded plan. Call it Contract to Restore America or even (sound familiar?) Be Best America. Here's my stab at a midterms-and-beyond agenda, plus strategic wisdom from Raskin and Booker. We. Can. Do. This. @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/time-democ...

There were no deals. There were no wins. There was no plan.

Why should Iran negotiate with Trump? He walked away from the previous agreement without a thought, even though Iran was in compliance. What's to say that Trump won't "agree" with one thing and then do something completely different, likely in his own self-interest?

This economic policy is not just inflicting pain on everyday Americans, it's inflicting pain on EVERY AMERICAN!Forget the NYSE,the tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest among us,the mass deportation has negatively affected the workforce and made food produced in America more expensive. #WakeUp

I took a dip in X. I was reminded why I have not used that platform since November. The message there is that Trump can do no wrong, and it is the Dems fault that the market is tanking. Dems want to see Trump fail. No one wants to see this admin. fail. It is failing on its own.

In total, a few million people showed up for the Hands Off rallies across the country and around the world. But what did they accomplish? It seems like it was nothing more than a feel-good exercise. My Senator, Lindsey Graham, has already said he doesn't care what the people say. We need change now!

We better show up and make our voices heard on Saturday. Peacefully, without violence or destruction. Don't give them an excuse for Martial Law! Unless we stand up and show the world we denounce all that's happened they will never trust us again!

People are saying the tariffs are a negotiating ploy. Who is going to negotiate with a country that doesn't honor its agreements? USMCA, USAID, UKRAINE, NATO, Etc.🤬

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Where are the brave Republican Senators who could sit in silent support of Senator Booker on the floor of the Senate?

Okay, I've been asked about the ticket for 2028. My answer is now Corey Booker/AOC, 2nd option Booker/Buttigedge. I could get behind either of these tickets with full-throated support. Let's Go!!

Credit where due: It appears that Agent47 has taken a step in the right direction by issuing an EO to organize all payments thru the Treasury. It will be a clusterf**k at first, but the long range outlook is promising. (1/3)
