This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

It's the attitude, the intense emotions....and, "F*ck You!" mindset....that is important. The solution that has most often prevented a dictator from crushing a democracy during violent rebellion is...popular resistance through mass mobilization and nonviolent resistance. 1/7

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

Bazinga!

WOW. For the first time ever, a maritime drone shot down a military fighter jet. Yesterday, a Ukrainian Magura V5 naval drone equipped with anti-aircraft missiles destroyed a Russian Su-30 fighter jet over the Black Sea. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦

BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights: “Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

The wealthiest man in the world, with no business or legal right to do so, turned loose his hackers and accessed every U.S. citizen's private records. Thus far, he has been unscathed. He's building the largest data center in the world. Do you not think his accessing of our private records, and 1/6

🔥 WATCH: Bernie sweeps aside Senator Slotkin saying Dems should stop talking about fighting the oligarchy because people don’t understand. Of course people get it. And if they don’t, you don’t stop saying it. You say it until they do. #FightTheOligarchy 🇺🇸

“None of our stories has been blocked. But Bill felt he lost the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is happy about it," Scott Pelley told viewers during Sunday's show.

This is Tom Homan. He is only 38 months older than me. This is what hatred and utter and complete lack of compassion will do to you.

ABSOLUTELY !

He’s right as rain.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.
