So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

It's twisted! If Republicans fear Trump, new, fearless, courageous Republicans (or Democrats) should take their place. Fear can't be the main impediment in Republicans doing the job they were elected to do. The entire GOP is being held hostage by an old, demented, mad man dreaming to be a dictator.

We shouldn't be left guessing why politicians aren't doing their jobs. We elect them, pay them with our tax money, evaluate their performance, and.. fire/replace them when we aren't happy with the job they do. If they live in fear of Trump, they should save us some time and quit. Yesterday! 🤬

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

There is no way most great capitalists will agree to limit their role as the world’s leading producer of weapons and delivery systems. Again: why won’t the Democrats consider putting a 100% tax on income and wealth over a certain very high level? A: Because the rich won’t stand for it.
