Resistance isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal. It’s powerful. It's collective. It's imperfect. Together we will fight for our freedoms in all the ways we can. #FreeAmericaWalkout

The problem is not that we can’t impeach the president. Although we can and should. The real problem is that we can’t impeach Stephen Miller because we never elected or confirmed him.

To my Republican colleagues: ENOUGH. It's time for the Senate to vote to block these tariffs and to block the use of military force against Greenland.
Trump is tearing apart our alliances in real time and the economic & diplomatic consequences will be catastrophic.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

The only thing that can stop Trump are free and fair elections in 2026. In the last two weeks he has suggested they be canceled and the ballot boxes seized.

Fact, 23 million Americans are experiencing exploding healthcare premium costs. Fact, 1.4 million Americans have chosen to forgo insurance due to cost increases this year. The time is now to elect fighters, that will do the work to get every American covered with Universal Healthcare.

Congress can freeze out funding for ICE in 2 weeks — but only if Democrats are a unified opposition. To make that happen, we must flood their offices with calls to demand ICE Out For Good.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.
