Looking for honest discourse, actual facts; I’m a champion for women’s rights, advocate for science and responsible action to combat climate change, sick of the corrupt GOP and clowns in orange turd’s cabinet. USA is now a joke thanks to MAGAts. Attorney.

Trump is just gonna keep bombing people until somebody gives him a Nobel peace prize.
We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.

He’s going to kill people for oil.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

There will be a time when DOGE is synonymous with a useless, expensive, and disastrous fiasco.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Wow! I just finished Virginia Giuffre's book. What this woman endured in her life, starting as a child in her own home, is unimaginable. All I can say is there are a lot of unpunished monsters still out there. #Booksky

ICE detained four U.S. citizens in Oregon this week, including a high schooler on his lunch break.

“All of us should be concerned about ICE operating outside of the laws of our country, disappearing even U.S. citizens without concern or fear of consequences,” said Jess Montoya at Oregon for All.

The "peace plan" that Trump is trying to force on Ukraine was cooked up in Miami by Dmitriev, Witkoff & Kushner - cutting out even Marco Rubio. It's a Mafia shakedown reeking of kleptocracy, corruption & betrayal. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

A U.S. military lawyer warned the Trump administration that its secretive boat strikes may be unlawful. Now rising deaths and silence on evidence have triggered global alarms over possible extrajudicial killings.
