@democrats.org stop talking about Trump wanting to "nationalize" elections, whatever that means. He wants to decide who gets to vote and be the one who counts the votes.

I saw a celebration of the values Americans claim to make us great: opportunity, freedom, family, hard work, resilience, caring for one's neighbors, entrepreneurship, faith, and yes, strength through diversity. Oh, and Puerto Rico should be state.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

My congressman making sense.
Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."

Yes it is. There will not be mid-term elections.
The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Yes it is. There will not be mid-term elections.
Prediction:
1. A "state of emergency" re false election fraud will be declared on or around July 4.
2. Martial law will be declared in blue states, citing "invasion" by immigrants.
3. Mid-term elections will be cancelled due to 1 and 2.

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Calm down everybody. The @mets.com had Pete Alonso at first and signed Juan Soto last year. Then they won 6 fewer games than the @redsox.com last year. A roster is not built in a weekend. The Sox are still well-positioned to go into 2026 with one of the best rosters in baseball.
