I can’t help but think this whole mess could have been avoided if RBG had just resigned during Obama’s second term.
Honestly that thought tarnishes her to me. Why didn’t she let Obama replace her? The only reason I can imagine is not a good one.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.
They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.
Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

To be clear, the orange felon fired the Head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after producing a truthful jobs report because he wants to hide how badly he’s crashing the economy and he’ll install one of his minions to produce fake numbers from now on. Fascism.
