ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Chavez in Venezuela discovered that they didn’t need to shut down the “fake media” but instead buy it and use it as a legitimizing tool. So the rich cronies just bought every media. It’s a playbook, nothing new, just new to you

Thank you again for sharing your take on the film Deliver Ne from Niwhere. I'm still thinking about its vision of Springsteen's artistry, and mental health bravery. It's a superb film. 🎥

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.
