If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

I watched this same performance in Feb 2024, when Tucker attempted to “interview” Putin and instead sat there like a fool while Putin rambled for 2 hours about his historical justification for the invasion beginning in the 14th century.

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.
One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.
25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.
This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

NOT-SO-FUN FACT: Instead of supporting domestic farmers, Trump is now DOUBLING the taxpayer-funded bailout for Argentina, bringing the total to a whopping $40 billion. That’s nearly TWICE the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for an entire year!

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.
Print it.
Put it in a frame.
Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

I’d say that the kettle has boiled over at this point. The president of the United States has gone totally insane. It’s long past 25th Amendment time but there’s no one with the integrity to do it. What do we do now?

The pace of our transition from Republic to Autocracy continues to accelerate, with all the same pretexts and justifications we’ve seen in other places throughout history for each incremental move. We even have the enablers and quislings that are a necessary precursor.
