I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This will impact 17 MILLION Americans.

Meanwhile, Republicans are refusing to extend ACA subsidies and forcing this government shutdown.

Instead of protecting healthcare, Republicans in congress are making it more expensive for hardworking families.

The Republicans control Congress. It’s up to them to roll back the crazy increases in healthcare costs—then the Dems can accept the budget.

Now that Trump has shut down the government, Democrats need to be loud and confident in our argument.

No 75% premium increases. No lawlessness.

That’s what we are fighting for. The people will be with us. But only if we show strength.

The best way that we can protect the First Amendment rights under attack by this administration is to exercise the First Amendment rights under attack by this administration. That is why we must make the upcoming No Kings Day the single largest day of peaceful protest in modern American history.
No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

“Emergency” is a word w/meaning that should be justified by facts.

FBI data suggests that Memphis, Cleveland,Toledo & Little Rock have higher crime rates.

The media would do well to interrogate the basis for the exercise of emergency powers rather than “residents say crime really is bad” stories.
STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.”

There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs.
There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown.
And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.
