I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

General CQ Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wasn't fired by Trump because he "supports woke policies." He was fired because he's a Black man in the nation's top uniformed military post.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. It is worth patiently considering the proposals. They reveal little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025. snyder.substack.com/p/recoup-the...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Kash Patel's confirmation by 51 Republicans is an appallingly dangerous act. Who believes what he told them in his hearings? “There will be no retributive actions taken by any FBI should I be confirmed as the FBI director," he said. And, “There should be no politics in the FBI.” Tough days ahead.
