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.

Pulling out the same type of device on a traffic stop that was used to beat police officers on Jan 6 is probably not the best plan.

I don't believe most (reasonable) people are looking to our democratic leaders for solutions in this moment but rather they are looking for hope. I have talked to thousands of people who are scared... and all are looking for assurance that we will be ok... EVENTUALLY. Its why I'm out here fighting

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.

DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

Resistance is brewing in Trump’s Department of Justice! When federal prosecutors were told to drop corruption charges against Eric Adams, they didn’t just back down, they resigned in protest. 👏 And it's not the only hurdle Trump has faced this week.
