Get offended, yes.
But do more than that — go on offense.
Stop allowing business as usual to proceed in the Senate. Grind the chamber to a halt.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.
This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

In a column I wrote late last year for The Athletic, which is owned by The New York Times, I mentioned that Trump was a “convicted felon.” That reference was edited out by the executive editor despite my argument that it was a fact and not an opinion. 👇🏾
The president of the United States is a convicted felon. Seems relevant to today’s news. Yet a search of the New York Times website shows the term “convicted felon” hasn’t appeared there since Jan. 23.

All of this undertaken in our name. Remember that.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

DOGE/Elon claim they found hundreds of millions in SS loans going to kids — but it’s an annuity to kids whose parents passed away.

Trump isn’t just cutting off aid to Ukraine. He’s getting 3rd parties to cut off intelligence to Ukraine or refuse to sell critical intel data. It’s taking away UKR army’s eyes. He’s re-entered the war on Russia’s side, not with arms yet and in marginal ways, but affirmatively on Russia’s side.

Dear Democrats: this is simple.
Republicans control the WH, House, and Senate. It’s their job to fund the govt.
Their funding bill is NOT clean. It doesn’t curtail Musk and instead slashes funding for veterans with toxic exposure.
If they want your vote, make them earn it.

The Supreme Court just agreed to hear a challenge to a law in Colorado that bans conversion therapy for minors — a dangerous and debunked practice that harms LGBTQ+ youth.
More than 20 states have bans on this practice aimed at minors.

Folks are mostly missing the forest for the trees re: the recent Meta announcement. Specifically, the focus on the move from fact checking to community notes. There two different changes that are a much bigger deal that have received less focus. 🧵 1/11

Chuck Schumer should immediately announce Democrats will accede to Trump's wishes here and do away with the Electoral College once and for all.
Here's that bipartisan push the pundits are looking for. Let's go!

Please arm yourself with knowledge. Birthright citizenship is not a policy choice it is a constitutional imperative (14th Amendment). It can no more be signed away by Executive Order than the First Amendment.
Now that attacking birthright citizenship has become a Day 1 project for the incoming Trump admin, I dug out this rather comprehensive piece I wrote in 2011. It includes the source of Sen. Lindsay Graham’s emergence as the pitch man on this issue. politicalresearch.org/2011/03/01/c...
The Conservative Attack on Birthright Citizenship
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
