If I could speak to billionaires quivering in fear, I would ask: Is the risk of losing some money worth sacrificing your dignity? If I could speak to Republican politicians, I would ask: Is the risk of losing an election worth being remembered as a coward?

By voting for the CR, Rep Jared Golden just gave the GOP a talking point of “bipartisan bill” and he also just voted to give up all leverage in pushing back against the administration. The spending power is congress’ only power. While i usually applaud bipartisanship, this is a travesty

You don't have to support or even like the campus protests to recognize how dangerous deporting a legal resident is. This is literally the point of the 1st Amendment. This is their test to see how much they can get away with. Next it will be immigration advocates and on. Don't make excuses.

It’s totally unacceptable, Elon Musk is giving Trump political operation ANOTHER $100 million as he giggles with a chain saw and cuts staff, veterans, and needed services. This is NOT what our founding fathers envisioned, an oligarchy in all but name.

The world’s richest man doesn’t want you to criticize him. He’s using his puppet (the President of the United States) to threaten the tools of the state against peaceful Americans expressing their opinions. Trump & Musk are trying to outlaw dissent & silence regular people who threaten their power.
