All military personnel have a duty to not obey unlawful orders. That’s all the six Democratic Members of Congress said. Like everything else Pete Hegseth does, this investigation of Mark Kelly is just performative bullshit for his base. He’s an unserious mouthpiece for an unfit Commander In Chief.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.
Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Sen. Alex Padilla: "This isn't about one comedian or one television personality or any one network. It's about whether we as Americans still have the freedom to laugh at those in power, to question authority, and to tell the truth without fear of retribution."

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

A 249 year old experiment in freedom and democracy. A 249 year old experiment in “We the people.” It’s worth defending. It’s worth fighting for. It’s worth preserving.
So do it. So let’s do it.

Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!
249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments.
It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.

If you can’t clearly uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, you’re not a leader—you’re a threat to democracy and America. The bar is low. Pass it or get out.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Due process for all is a fundamental principle of the US Constitution. It’s not due process for only those we like, or for only those we know are innocent. It’s due process for all. Without this principle firmly in place, freedom dies and the government becomes a dictatorship.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country.
All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
