The thing I'll always remember about Al Green is that he was the first Democrat to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017, after Comey was fired. He also argued that Trump was impeachable for his bigotry alone. This was completely out of step with most Democrats and party leaders.

Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will blow a massive hole in our state budget and leave thousands without care. There’s a storm coming from Washington. Republicans and Democrats should work together to protect our state from Trump. Defend our people, not the President.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

I fight through my tears everyday to keep you updated on Social Security & dismantling of major health care programs. I want you to know there are MILLIONS of grassroots people working on this. The judicial cases DO matter. We must live in hope NOT fear. As someone on SSDI, I get it. NEVER GIVE UP!

Trump on NATO: "If the United States was in trouble and we called them. We said, 'We got a problem, France.' Do you think they're gonna come and protect us? Hmm. They're supposed to. I'm not so sure." (Literally the only time NATO Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 on behalf of the US.)

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

Something Rep. Al Green told me has really stayed with me: “I think we have to do as much as we can, as fast as we can to prevent him from becoming a dictator.” Rep. Green is a man of principle and is genuinely concerned by Trump’s overreach. He should be lauded not punished.

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

The one thing I hear over and over from job seekers is "I need a job." That is FALSE. You don't need a job. A job needs you. You need food and shelter. You can live under a bridge. You can eat anyone who tries to cross that bridge and fails to answer your riddles correctly. Problem solved.

My husband was annoyed after spending $65 on two burgers and fries, so I said, “Bet yours could blow these away.” His eyes lit up. “Really? I’ll make some tomorrow!” Two days later, I did the same with pasta. And that’s how I Jedi mind-tricked my husband into becoming our chef.

Trump only ran again to evade accountability for his crimes so the only poetically correct outcome is if being president somehow makes his life even worse. At some point during his term he has to think "I should've gone to jail instead"
