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.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Denise Chung—a 24-year DOJ veteran—just resigned rather than, what in her view, fabricate probable cause at the Deputy AG’s direction. This isn’t just a canary in the coal mine. It’s the coal mine coming. The Constitution demands probable cause. She refused to cross that line.
