"What it's like to defend democracy, only to be called an un-American traitor."

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell defended the Capitol on January 6. He wrote a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump and his enablers:
Rioters tried to kill me on January 6. Trump pardoned them.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.

I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.
New: Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the US will strike a trade deal with the UK, according to a person familiar with the matter, the first agreement for the administration since it imposed sweeping tariffs against its trading partners last month @theguardian.com story TK

No, we can't put all the gun owners in a registry because the government might come and take all the guns someday.

HOWEVER, we want to put all the autistic people in a registry for.... reasons....

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

You guys remember when President Biden revoked Secret Service protection from Don, Eric, and Ivanka? NO?

It's because he didn't.
Because he's not a petty ass.

trump, on the other hand, has removed it from Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, because being President was never about helping Americans.

For some quick historical context on today's winds (so far). We have already had more sites measure severe wind gusts (58 mph and greater) than any other single day in our 30 year history. Unfortunately those winds have fueled many wildfires (black spots on satellite). #okwx #okmesonet

Don't just agree with Bernie. Tell your reps in DC to not cut SS or any other agency funding. It only takes few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people participate. www.nationalfinancialplan.com

This is all To pay for a tax cut for very wealthy people
Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.
