Failing to acknowledge that we are in a moment of national crisis unrivaled in our history is not only denying reality it is inviting disaster. Failing to use every legal tool at our disposal to resist & preserve our freedoms is a betrayal of every past, current and future generation of Americans.

Ask yourself why the White House is willing to go to escalate this after a supreme court decision against them. Why are they so scared to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back? I can think of a number of reasons, and they're all terrible.

Trump will end temporary protections for more than 10,000 Cameroonian and Afghan refugees, putting them on track for deportation. Keep in mind: many of the Afghans here in the US are among those who assisted US troops and supported US interests in Afghanistan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

I'm devastated and heartbroken. Staff at the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) got the ax. Most likely means the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is also cooked. USGCRP was the glue across the Federal family on all things climate - reducing duplication and making efficiencies.

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.

I didn't want this. I said something like it would happen, and implored America to take a different path. But a plurality of voters wanted this. Finance and business wanted this, and backed it with money. SCOTUS wanted this, so badly they twisted the Constitution to get it. This all was a choice.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
