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.

Today's a great day for Vladimir Putin. He finally has an asset at the highest level of US intelligence, and he’s laughing. Tulsi Gabbard, known in Russia as "Putin's Girlfriend", is now in charge of our intelligence apparatus. America is being weakened by Trump and his administration.

We can’t say this enough: When people in Trump‘s orbit deliberately lie about how our constitutional democracy works, they violate the oaths they take to uphold the law. & they violate the trust the American people place in them.

Worth noting: Trump is not pushing to remove undocumented people from red states like he is big city Democratic-led areas. These people are essential workers. Is it policy or is it punishment? www.cnn.com/2025/01/24/b... Trump is targeting the immigrants who will be called on to rebuild LA

Trump is an autocrat. The GOP wants these "changes" to spread disinformation, justify election denialism and gain partisan advantage. Democrats need to oppose this effort. If the GOP enacts new voter suppression laws, I can promise we will sue and win. apnews.com/article/voti...

This is dumb. Did Trump's pardon of Charles Kushner include anyone else? Did his pardons of Roger Stone & Paul Manafort apply to his former lawyer Michael Cohen? Pardons apply only to the individual they are meant for &, in a properly functioning system, each is considered on its merits.
