I don't have words for the fear these images conjure up, only that when I look at these images I know what I am looking at — and it is the most direct route to hell that humanity is capable of taking.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

BREAKING: Chuck Schumer arrested 11 young people who were at his office demanding he fight for our generation and block Trump's disastrous budget. He wouldn't even face them.

No more cowardice. Step up or step aside.

In light of ED Sec. Linda McMahon's comments about transgender people today, I'm sharing the story we published this week about what's happening in Maine.

It's about how the Trump administration is using federal investigations to try to force the state to comply with its transgender sports ban.

Maine said it wouldn’t break state law to follow President Donald Trump’s order barring transgender girls from playing girls’ sports. Then came a barrage of investigations and threats targeting the st...

…this is insane????
interview between NPR (Martin) and Troy Edgar, deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Martin: Is any criticism of the United States government a deportable offense? Edgar: Like I said, if you go through the process and you're a student and you're here on a visa and you go through it, at any point … Martin: Is any criticism of the government a deportable offense? Edgar: Let me put it this way, Michel, imagine if he came in and filled out the form and said, 'I want a student visa.' They asked him, 'What are you going to do here?' And he says, 'I'm going to go and protest.' We would have never let him into the country. Martin: Is protesting a deportable offense? Edgar: You're focused on protests. I'm focused on the visa process. He went through a legal process ... Martin: Are you saying he lied on his application? He's a lawful permanent resident, married to an American citizen. Edgar: I think if he would have declared he's a terrorist, we would have never let him in. Martin: And what did he engage in that constitutes terrorist activity? Edgar: I mean, Michel, have you watched it on TV? It's pretty clear. Michel: No, it isn't. Well, explain it to those of us who have not or perhaps others have not. What exactly did you do? Edgar: Well, I think it's clear or we wouldn't be talking about it. I mean, the reality is that if you watch and see what he's done on the university … Martin: Do you not know? Are you telling us that you're not aware? Edgar: I find it interesting that you're not aware.
