Trump IS bamboozled about Greenland, it is NOT a huge country. It appears large because it is displayed using a Mercator projection (created in 1569 by Geradus Mercator for navigation). Mercator maps distort land area nearest the poles. A problem when flattening a globe. truesizeofcountries.com

Hegseth refuses to support the best qualified person for promotion..if it is a woman.

"Under the Navy’s “up or out” policy, with no command slot to take, the officer’s more than two-decade military career was effectively over."

No one, including federal agents, is above the law, and we intend to hold them accountable. We launched a Plate Watch Hotline to crack down on illegal swapping of state-issued license plates and keep communities safe. Contact (312) 814-1730 or platewatch@ilsos.gov to report.

The American Revolution of 1776. The US founding fathers were truly extraordinary men. They created a system of governance that was based on merit and earned privilege. It was not out of usurpation but translation of ideals into political theory and action. Brilliant!

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats.

"They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services"

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

I don’t want Chuck Schumer out because of his no vote to end the shut down. I want Chuck Schumer out because he couldn’t control his caucus and 8 of the people in it defected to the fascist side and voted with them!

He needs to be gone as Senate minority leader like yesterday!

I can’t believe once again the democratic senate caucus can’t keep their commitment to protecting healthcare. They’re caving, not what their constituents want. Call those caving senators insist they vote no and support all the other ones to keep voting no.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

We need at least 3.5% of us to show up protesting. That’s 3X the people that showed up at the #Women’sMarch

If it was done along with a #NationalStrike!
All peaceful.
This CAN & MUST be done…NOW!
