I believe in democracy, rule of law, women’s reproductive rights, climate justice, human rights and dignity for all. I’m a retired military civilian. I can’t believe we have to fight to claw back rights.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

This is *exactly* the Putin playbook.
They disappeared a man right off the streets just like Putin for exercising his free speech. They won’t stop at immigrants. We are all targets now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
They are disappearing people in the U.S.
The detention of Mahmoud Khalil is meant to send a message and strike fear

When making a MAGA cabinet, it's very important to strike a careful balance between billionaires, sex criminals, Russian assets, anti-vaxxers, and just plain unpleasant people.

BREAKING: Alexander Vindman RESPONDS to Elon Musk’s threat that he will “pay” for his “treason”:
“Elon, I served in the military for 22 years — and my loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic. That’s why I reported Trump.
I’m not intimidated by you.”

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear.
Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code.
It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions.
Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.

In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?"

Trump alone didn't beat the justice system.
He had help.
It took Oligarchs relentlessly amplifying his lies on their media platforms.
Ethically compromised members of the Supreme Court.
70+ million willing to vote for a convicted felon.
There's a lot to fix. But it can be fixed. It must.

If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.
But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?
