About 30% of this country is lost in our lifetime. They're going to ride MAGA down to the grave, but Republicans are overreaching with their power. They believe they're invincible and voters won't turn. Once the pain hits home, millions will come after them. Sadly, a LOT OF GUNS in this country.

Multiple protests going on outside the Capitol today.

A group of military contractors, including former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, has pitched the White House on a proposal to carry out deportations through a network of “processing camps” on military bases, a private fleet of planes, and a “small army” of private citizens empowered to make arrests.

US consumer confidence deteriorated at its sharpest pace in 3-1/2 years in February while 12-month inflation expectations surged, offering further signs that Americans were growing anxious about the potential negative economic impact of Trump policies reut.rs/4h5OXjy

I went to a #TeslaTakedown protest near Philly yesterday to report on a grassroots revolution: thousands of Americans mad as hell at an unelected billionaire oligarchy - and unwilling to take it anymore How taking down Tesla can save our democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...
