James: I entered into public service because I recognize the power of government—and that government should be, and has always been, a force for good.

For those reasons, I am defending the United States government—defending it against these illegal and unlawful acts by this president

He almost put enough gold stuff in the White House to make it look like the Kremlin. Not quite, but he’ll get there.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

“The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China.”
We are now viewed as a security threat, to our once closest allies.
Enraging & heartbreaking.

Actions have consequences
In September 2021, Texas banned nearly all abortions. A JAMA Pediatrics study found that, between 2021 and 2022, infant deaths in Texas surged 12.9%, compared with a much smaller increase in the rest of the US of 1.8%. Infant mortality rates rose 8.3%.

Putin has taken over our govt.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats.

One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

Elon Musk is making on average $8 million per day from government contracts.

The average Medicaid recipient makes $65 per day.

Someone who is making millions per day wants to cut your Medicaid. It's wrong.

Rep. Pettersen voted in-person, and gave a speech from the House floor—all while holding her baby, because Republicans refused to let her vote remotely while on maternity leave. Rep. Pettersen shouldn’t have been forced to come in, but I’m glad we have a fighter like this on our side.
This Good News For Us Is Terrible For Trump
Onward.
