Once on the right, now Liberal. Fighting for a free and open society with @ProjectLiberal.org. Husband and father. Views are my own.
That halftime show was for every American terrorized by ICE.

It was for those who spent their lives contributing only to be hunted by the state.

It was for everyone alienated by their own nation.

It was a reminder of America’s diversity and beauty, and a promise that this moment will pass.

I watched Fox for a whole day. I expected bias, but I didn’t realize how much information just never makes it onto the network unless Jessica Tarlov mentions it. It really can’t be understated.

Ossoff: “This is the Epstein class... Trump is literally closing rural hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros...”

I would strongly encourage Democrats to continue with this rhetorical strategy.

It really subverts the entire worldview of the MAGA right.

Just watch.

The olympic audience cheers American athletes.

But the moment JD Vance appears on screen they boo.

The world doesn't hate *America.*

It hates our corrupt, lawless leaders. And the moment we remove them from power, the vibe can shift again.

Oldham County GOP cuts the mic on Thomas Massie.

“I am a congressman. I don’t work for the Speaker of the House, I work for you.”

Whatever you think of Massie, this moment explains why his own party despises him.

"It was a fake video."

"It’s fake outrage."

"It was a hilarious joke."

*Deleted*

"It was posted by a staffer on Trump’s Truth Social page at midnight."

There is no bottom for this administration.

Flashback to 2008 when John McCain shut down a racist line of questioning.

I miss this Republican Party.

ICE agents have killed more Americans since Trump took office than immigrants, documented and undocumented put together. So tell me who poses a bigger threat to the safety of Americans?

In the last hour, dozens of GOP lawmakers began to denounce Trump's racist meme.

Minutes ago, the White House capitulated and deleted the post.

If those same lawmakers showed that same level of moral clarity when it comes to the Constitution & fair elections, the White House would capitulate.

I’ve stopped being surprised by things like this.

This is simply who Trump is. We’re not learning anything new about his racism from some random Truth Social post.

That’s been clear since long before he ever ran for president the first time.

Stop saying they’re “coequal branches.”

No branch wields more power than Congress.

All it has to do is decide to use it.

🚨 Elon Musk’s gutting of USAID has fueled an estimated death toll that’s about to surpass 800,000—including 530,000 children.

That’s 88 deaths every hour.

Meanwhile, the federal deficit is the largest it's been since the COVID-era stimulus, with no reduction in sight.

Just watch this.

JD Vance’s moral depravity has no bottom.
February 4, 2026 at 11:33 PM
Absolutely repugnant response.

Honestly, if you do not feel contempt when listening to JD Vance speak, I believe there's something deeply wrong with your soul.
Reporter: Do you plan to apologize to the family of Alex Pretti?

Vance: For what?

DHS is buying massive warehouses across the country designed to imprison ~100K people.

Documents show they include mass shower facilities, incinerators for medical and death waste, hardened structures, defensive barriers, and eight-foot walls.

What does that sound like to you?

This week, Temporary Protected Status for 350K Haitians in the U.S. was set to expire, with no White House plan to renew it.

Many warned this would lead to mass roundups of people unable to safely return to Haiti.

Today, Judge Reyes blocked it from happening.

Her ruling was scathing. 👇

Quote from Trump just minutes ago:

"The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.... The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting."

In modern history, there's never been a bigger threat to our Constitution and our way of life than and his enablers.

Last night, GOP Senator Rand Paul went on national TV to flatly reject DHS's lies about the Pretti execution:

"My advice to [DHS], if they're watching:

If you come into [our hearing] and try to justify that [Pretti] was assaulting a police officer, that cannot be acceptable."

This is what embodying the American spirit looks like.

Alex Pretti is America.
Renee Good is America.
Liam Ramos is America.

We are all the disenfranchised, downtrodden, and despondent. They are us.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I am what MAGA calls a “Heritage American.”

We've been here for 300 years.

We've fought in virtually every American conflict since 1776.

My kids have ancestors who fought on both sides of the Civil War.

I am just as much of an American as someone who became a citizen today.
