Democrats spend too much time worrying about threats by Trump & GOP, and not enough time on offense. Hillary Clinton is demonstrating the type of pushback Democrats should use every day. On Thursday, Hillary effectively told GOP Rep. James Comer, “Put up or shut up.”

This is the moment of truth for congressional Democrats. They must finally show courage and principle. Our nation is in a moment of crisis. We have no need of politicians. We need patriots and heroes, men and women of their word who will defend the Constitution, as they promised.

Feb 1, 2025, was the day Americans realized Trump was serious about implementing the full horror of “Project 2025” . . . . In less than a year, we have gone from shell-shocked to battle-tested, from leaderless to self-reliant, and from anxious and afraid to anxious and courageous.
