With all that is happening, it is easy to become pessimistic, but we must persevere. Our #democracy is worth saving. Change is possible. #Pushback matters and so do the voices and actions of the people. The time to act is now. 💙

When Trump talks about ‘trillions,’ does he understand what the word means?
The president keeps using the word “trillions,” but I don’t think it means what he thinks it means.

The regime targeted Rep. McIver for conducting legislative oversight at an ICE facility in her district (or doing her job).
We hoped the courts would recognize this for the political persecution it is and dismiss the charges. Unfortunately, a federal judge ruled that the case could go to trial.

Anne Applebaum as usual on the mark. I would add: most elected Republicans quietly fold the millisecond this happens to them. So in speaking up MTG is GOP unusual.
Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

Question: “how could he run on releasing the Epstein files and not do it?”
Answer: because he’s lied his whole life without consequences. Why would he think this situation would be any different?
