We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

People seem to be forgetting some abysmal precedents from War on Terror. Yes, they did detain Green Card holders. Yes, they did get an insane SCOTUS ruling (under Obama, not Bush) that material support for terrorism can include speech (Holder v. HLP).

“We should remember [Jan. 6] for what it was: an insurrection and terrorist attack on the Capitol of the United States of America, planned and incited by many but most notably Trump, in an effort to install him as a dictator against the free will of the people." - DCMPD Officer Daniel Hodges

Trump is backpedaling on nearly everything—deportations, tariffs, firings, even dismantling the Dept. of Ed—after backlash. But these were his campaign promises. His chaos is no accident. Stay informed with today’s top stories.

Today is the 60th anniversary of the death of Margaret Dumont, a seasoned actress who endured every affront the Marx Brothers hurled at her as their foil. Dumont died knowing she'd be falsely accused of not getting the jokes: "That was the job, you dumb assholes," she rasped at the end. "Christ."

Did you know David Gilmour once sold his £3 million London mansion and donated every penny to a homeless charity called Crisis? He said, "I don't need all this luxury while others are fighting for a roof." No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity. He quietly changed lives❤️

“And I’ve been talking to red state governors. What is this going to do to your rural hospitals? It’s going to eviscerate them…..They’re a little worried; they’re terrified of a primary. You mention 'primary,' and they run for the hills.” - CT Gov. Lamont on potential Medicaid cuts.

A second U.S. child has died of measles— this time, in New Mexico— following last week’s death in Texas. Both deaths were in red states full of MAGAts, so both kids were, of course, unvaccinated. MAGA hates science— even when it would protect their kids. www.usatoday.com/story/news/h...

I have no issue with a sitting president attending an event with the American people. However, if your mantra is extreme efficiency and cutting waste—while labeling things like cancer research and veterans’ benefits as waste—you have no business participating in events like this.

This. When you contact GOP MoCs, phrase things in terms they care about--accountability for what they approve & constituencies they value. w/Tillis, for example, never stop emphasizing that he is singlehandedly responsible for putting a wildly disqualified person in charge of NC's servicemembers.
