Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

This is why you DON’T WANT government run like a corporation. Companies do these things to maximize profits. Every extra layer of difficulty for the public yields them millions in profits because people just give up. This is shameful and dangerous.

Anyone you know who is not a citizen. Even those that have green cards and protected status as residents, are at risk if they leave the US and attempt reentry. That's just how it is under the our new dictator. Prepare accordingly. newrepublic.com/post/192817/...

somebody should make a web dashboard that shows which Dems are signing up to get primaried and which ones are signing up to fight for American values. John Larson's on the second pile right now and his district should feel proud.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the state’s Republican leadership haven’t uttered a word as Texas universities researching things like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s are about to take a massive hit from the Trump Administration. Why won’t they stand up for Texas?

True story: when my older boys were little, they both got whooping cough even though they were vaccinated. It was bad. We asked the pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. They would’ve died, he said. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.
