My mindset it that we can't change what happened in 2025, but we can change 2026. My dad was 15 years old when he participated at the March on Washington. I'll be damned if my kids have to deal with the same ahit he did.

The American people can see for themselves how dishonest & cynical this is.
Drug trafficking warrants the use of military force to topple a foreign government in one instance, and then merits Trump pardoning the former Honduran President, lawfully convicted of the same crime?

RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury
RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it?
RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

If the biggest donor to the DCCC/DNC ran a website where you could use AI to take women's clothes off I feel like there'd be a demand for Dems to give the money back.

Here's the remarkable story of how Rob and Michele Reiner forged a unshakable bond with a man serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn't commit.
“Rob and Michele didn’t want credit for trying to help me,” Nanon Williams told us. “It was just because they loved me.”

He was sentenced to death. Rob and Michele Reiner loved him like a son.
Nanon Williams was sent to death row for a murder he says he didn't commit. Decades later, through daily emails and weekly prison calls, the Reiners became family.

We are just a few days into the new year, and health care costs have skyrocketed because Republicans let ACA tax credits expire on January 1.

Powerful & insightful thread 🧵 👇🏾
Typically when the US embarks on an illegal or dubiously legal regime change we use noble words about democracy, rule of law, spreading freedom, etc. to justify our actions. Trump has not done that. He offers few noble words as eulogistic covering. It's a crass power & oil grab, according to Trump.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
