The people who know Trump best - the people who worked with him closest during his first term - know how dangerous he is to our country.

Whenever I see stories about Mar-a-Lago face I think about the part of the Hunger Games books where Katniss muses that don't the people in the Capitol with all of their surgeries and modifications know how grotesque they look to the rest of us?

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)

Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and moral, then it’s not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power. - Dwight Eisenhower

In 2016, Pete Hegseth warned that Trump would pressure the military to break the law & would abandon anyone who upheld the law. "What happens when the military follow those orders or don't follow them? Will Trump have their back? Trump is often about Donald Trump. This creates even more ambiguity."

It’s time to stop saying that we need to understand these people. We do understand them.

We understand that they have dug in their heels so deeply, they will not be moved by anything: not facts or data or truth or their own eyes.

Wild that the Secretary of Transportation is out here pretending pull-ups are policy while the rest of us are just trying to make sure bridges don’t collapse and planes don’t fall out of the sky.

There was a huge crowd at the Indiana Statehouse in opposition of redistricting. Let's see if the Senate listens to Hoosiers or to Washington.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
