On this Presidents Day, a reminder: it’s not Kings Day.

Our founding fathers created a president in explicit contrast with a monarch - bound by the rule of law, checked by Congress, elected for a specific term by the people.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

@balint.house.gov recounters her viral exchange with Attorney General Pam Bondi who derailed the Epstein hearing to accuse Balint of antisemitism.

"It was DARVO the entire time; deflect, attack, and reverse the victim and the oppressor... it struck me as incredibly creepy and outrageous frankly."

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government.

This is a way to disenfranchise the poor.

Call your senators.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

In early retirement at age 55 I trained 50 hours to eventually work two shifts twice a week on the Seattle King County Crisis Line.

50 Hours..

Trump's IRS telephone responders have No Training or Empathy.

They were advised/warned some callers May have Suicide Ideation.

No skills... None

Because DHS paramilitaries are masked, heavily armed, poorly trained, and have been terrorizing Americans for months.  Because Americans don't want to vote at gunpoint. #holdfast

I don't care if Stephen Miller wants ICE to be able to beat up, shoot, or detain citizens.

In America, we believe in due process. We believe in our Constitution. We believe in law and order—safe streets, law enforcement we can trust.

If you don’t like that? Go to Russia.

BREAKING: Kathy Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs' top lawyer and former White House Counsel under Obama, is reportedly resigning over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

She helped manage Epstein's legal affairs and introduced him to execs at Goldman and other companies AFTER his 2008 conviction.

This is massive.
