I love Michelle Wu so much & am so proud of her & Boston today. She didn't cower, she didn't pull punches, she didn't hold back. She. Kicked. Their. Asses. A real master class. So many other leaders, politicians and university heads & business execs, meet to watch & learn . . . and then emulate.

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to be on television, radio, and social media hammering the shit out of Trump's embarrassing failure to get a continuing resolution passed with his cruel budget priorities. Make it hurt. Call out their incompetence. Show some goddamn fire.

Important from Sen Chris Murphy: He says Dems are not functioning as an effective opposition to Trump's accelerating authoritarianism right now, and that this is dangerously complacent. I pushed him on this, and we had a long exchange. In these four screen caps: newrepublic.com/article/1895...

If they didn’t have a double standard, they’d have no standards at all. It’s sick to celebrate someone who killed a person, unless the person killed is Black, then killer is a hero? There’s a lot of sickness to go around here.

Gwen Walz: Last night, Donald Trump said he'll be our 'protector, whether the women like it or not.' That pretty much says all you need to know about Donald Trump and the agenda he wants to impose on us. He doesn’t trust us. He thinks he can speak for us. He wants power over us

Trump from 2016 to 2024: “I’m gonna do it whether the women like it or not.” White women, don’t fall for the protection racket! We can hear the gaslighting in his “everyone wanted Roe overturned,” hear his threats to do what he wants “whether women like it or not.” Vote your secret ballot for Harris

Trump’s Director of White House personnel John McEntee has posted a video saying “Sorry, we want male only voting. The 19th might have to go.” That’s certainly a strategic choice one week before the election.
