Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Dear World…Cory Booker is who we truly are. Watch him now and know we will not be down for long. Fight back! Take back our democracy! #IStandWithCory. I’m so proud of him. He makes me proud of what America is really about. Not this circus in the White House. Thank you @booker.senate.gov !!!

They should all be fired and trump should be kicked out of the White House. They are nothing short of disgraceful and corrupt, criminals.

If only America would protect school children the way it protects Teslas.

Truer words were never spoken.

So abortion is murder but not vaccinating your kids is patriotic. Got it.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

NEW: Four years ago, Steve Berger started a secretive project to build ties with lawmakers and shape national policy. Now he appears to be running a group house for conservative congressmen. It’s not just Speaker Johnson living there. Another prominent Trump ally has the keys.
