Y'all, if you're not already, please follow Mr. @cwebbonline.com.
We’re in a moral fight, and Democrats in Congress need to start acting like the opposition party on every 👏🏽 damn 👏🏽 thing 👏🏽

Opposition isn’t about polite press releases and sad cable hits. It’s about using every procedural tool available to slow, expose, and force accountability.

I wrote this poem as an homage to Baldwin and to hear it being sung across the world or read in protests has been my own guiding light of hope.

Not stating this to "invoke violence". I am simply stating a fact.

WELKER: What is the national emergency that justifies this new slate of tariffs?

Politicians need to stop speaking/writing to a college reading level. The US has an average reading competence of a 6th grader. Just tell it like it is:

"It is illegal for a president to set up his own bank account in a foreign country to sell property taken by the military."
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

It's true. We all need to step up our game.
Donald Trump gets a lot of hate, but it’s not enough. We can do better.

Let's be pragmatic, here. Has anyone checked to see which of these ass clowns have put large amounts into the cattle industry? This is likely just another "Beef, it's what's for dinner" campaign.

Follow the money.

Maybe we need to protect our kids. Just sayin'.
ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.

They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

I really wish we'd move past the "intellectual guest speak" looking down their nose say "it's hard not to see it for...blah, blah, blah".

Can we change the energy, please?
"These fuckers are intimidating journalists and their sources!"

That's the story.

Now bring solutions, not observations.
The FBI raided the home of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson this week.

Free speech expert @jameeljaffer.bsky.social says “it's hard not to see it as an effort to intimidate not just journalists, but their sources.”

Yeah, and Democrats need to stop proclaiming what it's not and start talking about what it is.

Apparently, it's "our oil" but his money.

I'll give the republicans one thing. They always tell on themselves.
REP. DAN MEUSER: Look, Jay Powell has not been a cooperative member of our America first economic plan

BARTIROMO: He may not be in a step with the president, but that doesn't necessarily mean he did anything wrong, right? I mean, this is a criminal investigation

MEUSER: I wouldn't call it that

I had a dream last night. I was watch CSPAN three years from now. It was congress debating a bill for universal healthcare. A republican stood up and walked to the mic. But before they could get there, Speaker Ocasio-Cortez shouted them down, saying "NO! SIT DOWN!" Then the bill passed 350 to 85.

I don't disagree with this view. However, it astonishes me that so many play along. That they found thousands of cosplay Chads to bully, terrorize, and assault their fellow Americans is the greatest sorrow in our history. Take away all the snarkiness, it really is the saddest moment in our history.
"ICE is violence-prone because its main purpose has become theatrical. Under present leadership, ICE is less a law-enforcement agency than it is a content creator.

Still crickets from the House and Senate, I assume...
Reacting to the threat of criminal charges being leveled at the US monetary authority, central banks including the European Central Bank and the Bank of England said they “stand in full solidarity” with the Fed and Powell. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Global Central Bankers in ‘Full Solidarity’ With Fed’s Powell
Global central bankers threw their support behind Chairman Jerome Powell after the Trump administration ratcheted up its already unprecedented pressure campaign against the Federal Reserve.

This is great and all. But you know all of maga doesn't know what "pretexts" means.
A time for choosing, from main street to wall street.

"This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress’s oversight role. .... Those are pretexts."

Thank you, Chairman Powell.

General population will love ICE agents.
Philadelphia DA Krasner: “If any ICE agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted. Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?”

This woman was raped at worst, sexually assaulted at best.
This is an ICE agent in Minnesota taking a BOUND woman into a Porta Potty, busting his ass on the way, which surely enraged him, while his partner sat guard. Where is this poor woman now and is she safe?

PS. It’s not trans people women need to worry about in a bathroom.

Keep your cameras rolling.
