DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

My latest Substack on why protest matters.
There were at least 3,000 in my Denver suburb in a very red county. It was amazing! And joyful! I think 8.7 million is going to go even higher once the numbers are all in.
Imagine. A full day dedicated to telling you what a piece of shit you are.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

The Minneapolis shooter fired dozens of rounds through a window at Annunciation Catholic School today.
Metal detectors wouldn’t have stopped him. “School safety” theater will never stop a man with an assault rifle and a country flooded with guns.

The Library of Congress got caught quietly altering its online display of the Constitution, removing Sections 9 and 10 of Article I. Trump's least favorite sections which guarantees the right to challenge unlawful detention and requires the government to justify confinement.
