Tired of the “never coming back from this in our lifetimes” nonsense. South Korea, Brazil, Eastern Europe, Mexico were all effectively dictatorships within a life time (and most within my life time) and have all have democracy now.

Let me say this: I don’t care if Congress is on recess or a break — House Democrats can’t take a break. We can’t afford to take a break or hold book tours when a tyrant is dismantling our country. Leaders like Jasmine Crockett have kept working. We need more like her.

I missed this earlier today: one of Michigan’s two Republican justices announced her retirement today. Gretchen Whitmer will appoint her replacement. That will likely bring Democrats’ majority on this key court to 6-1.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

(1,2) This is Jaime. She was funny and fun & made everyone laugh. Unfortunately, the laughter stopped 7 years ago today in the Parkland shooting. Because of what happened to Jaime, my family started Orange Ribbons for Jaime doing great work orange-ribbons-for-jaime.myshopify.com/collections/...

To identify “Dark Triads,” @arthurbrooks writes, look for “self-importance, a sense of entitlement, vanity, a victim mentality, a tendency to bend the truth or even openly lie, manipulativeness, grandiosity, a lack of remorse, and an absence of empathy.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
