J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it.
“There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is why @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ICE "reform" agenda is inadequate. The goal is not to see what you can secure thru legislative means alone as an end in and of itself. You lead and ask for more, create the conditions to lay the foundation for what we need to happen.
Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA.
Facts that bear repeating.

An NYT report showing that prior NYT reporting, all sourced to a Trump confidant, was false. Harvard University refused to cave to President Trump's extortion demands, even as other universities and leading law firms kowtowed. And now, Trump has dropped his demands for a $200 mn payout.

The Kennedy Center died the second Trump touched it.
If we ever get free and fair elections again and a Democratic fighter who will learn from the mistakes of the Civil War, War on Terror, big bailout, Trump's insurrection, then there will be massive accountability and we'll raze Trump's legacy.
