The DNC should appoint a Shadow Cabinet whose members give frequent statements and press conferences to counteract Republican lies and lawlessness.
Several prominent figures have called for this, including Tim Walz, Elissa Slotkin, Timothy Snyder, and Thom Hartmann.

If you live in a Republican district (as I do), call your representative today and demand that they oppose this bill, which cuts Medicaid & essential services in order to let the wealthy avoid paying their fair share. Then call them again tomorrow!

When shooting your dog in the face isn’t the worst thing you ever did.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

If you do an image search for “ms13 knuckle tattoos”, this is what you’ll see.
Kilmar’s tattoo has no connection to gang affiliation, it’s just symbols meaningful to him, and it’s a very common trend at the moment.

Yes, because if they can assert Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a gang member and ship him to a concentration camp without having to prove anything in court, they can do it to you and me too. The (lack of due) process is exactly the same.
