I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont.

He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview.

He should be released so he can become a citizen.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

Medicaid is not for sale.

About that ASMR video: "The idea is not just that viewers should approve of the footage. It invites them to take sensual pleasure from it. Plenty of Trump’s people were happy to oblige."

The Cruelty Isn’t the Point. It’s the Pleasure.

“Democrats seem to be waiting for Trump, Musk, and MAGA to naturally become unpopular, instead of working overtime to make them unpopular. We can’t wait. We need a unified, aggressive, and creative opposition in this country.”
