If you are a White House pool reporter and you don’t stick up for your fellow colleagues after Trump calls them “Piggy” or “Stupid” you are tacitly condoning his behavior and just as culpable at Trump.
Shame on you.
Walk out.
Speak up.
Don’t give him an audience.
Courage is contagious.

📌From Conservative columnist David French today:
"... In other words, Christian revival begins with the people proclaiming, by word and deed, “I have sinned.”
MAGA Christianity has a different message. It looks at American culture and declares, 'YOU have sinned.'”

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.
Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

There's no end to his lies.
Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The picture of the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago pastor being pepper sprayed by a masked ICE agent reminded me of civil rights protestors in Birmingham being sprayed with high-pressure water hoses in the 60s.
It was wrong then, it's wrong now. How are we letting this happen?

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."

Separation of church and state? No state religion? Constitution? Anyone?

Propaganda from government goons. They get their story out first and major media is complicit in spreading the lies. Gov. Pritzker has it right.

When you send in a secret police with brand new assault weapons and tactical gear, but no body cameras, into your own cities, you’re trying to instigate violence with enough leeway to avoid the FOIA and craft your preferred narrative for state approved media sources.

We let issues define our decisions.
The ONLY question every American should ask themselves,
Why are Republicans attacking our Constitution?
The bedrock of our nation,
Americans have fought for their entire lives.
Is it for average Americans or the wealthy?

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.”
Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens
