Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!

As a former Navy Hospital Corpsman (Medic) and nurse, the fact that we are facing a near certain return of childhood diseases that had been all but silenced for years because of the plans by the new Trump admin is nothing short of maddening.

The nomination of Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense should give all Americans pause. Not only the allegation of sexual assault but also his retrograde views of women and his bizarre right wing conspiracy theories outlined in his books.

Donald Trump’s Most Dangerous Cabinet Pick
Pete Hegseth considers himself to be at war with basically everybody to Trump’s left, and it is by no means clear that he means war metaphorically.

In that gig, he would oversee anti human trafficking law enforcement efforts (while also presumably being wide open to blackmail/extortion by anyone with access to the buried report they're trying to suppress).

Just absorbing the fact that the first order of business in the new QAnon-inflected MAGA Republican era is to demand that Congress bury its report on sex trafficking and drug allegations against a Republican member of Congress who they're trying to promote to higher office.

When you think about it, it’s quite on brand for the GOP to seek to protect alleged pedophiles among them by preventing the truth from ever seeing the light of day.
