It's cool when a member of Congress says there's no point in standing up to the bully who is literally taking our tax money.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

When Trump returned to power, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead or his agenda would be met with defiance and backlash.
Thank you for proving them wrong.

Get out the vote EARLY!
Fair warning:
If you don’t want to see a LOT of get out the vote content this year, I’m probably not a good person to follow.
My goal for 2026 is to help hand the GOP the largest midterm loss in history.
We’re going to make 2018 look like a small trickle.

Terrific project for the 23 (soon to be 24) Dem AGs to take on. For Musk is reckless and lawless, and it won't stop here.
Good example of a thing where states need a firm reminder that they have and can enforce their own laws, even if the federal government won't. Every state has its equivalent laws about this stuff. Musk is not cloaked in some federal immunity just because he's off again / on again buddies with Trump.
What Grok/X has done is unprecedented. There are no other instances of a major company affirmatively facilitating the production of child pornography. Treating this as the inevitable result of generative AI and social media is a harrowing mistake.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

Any and all statements like this that Trump makes about ANYONE, he is PROJECTING.
That is, he is unconsciously talking about himself.

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.
