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.

Great news. It will be very hard for Trump’s DOJ to come up with any credible explanation besides a quid pro quo.

Thank you very much to everyone who came out today! More than 400 people gathered on Presidents Day at City Hall in Frederick to protect our democracy, oppose Project 2025 and stand up for human rights…and basic human decency. Not bad for a cold day and just two days notice.

It’s okay to be really really angry right now. It’s entirely appropriate. And, honestly, I’d have to wonder about the intellectual acuity or emotional well being…or humanity…of anyone who isn’t angry.

Leftists and other political opponents, academics and intellectuals, Jews, trade unionists, Gypsies, certain clergy, homosexuals and others. That’s who the Gestapo and the SS went after. Just saying.
