We’ve truly lost our way in this country.

An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts?

“What really stands out to me now is that the biggest source of chaos is the president himself,” said Julian Zelizer, a professor of political history at Princeton University. “Rather than acting as a force to try to bring some kind of reconciliation, calm and stability, he is fueling the fires.”

Trump's top advisor and biggest donor just publicly accused him of being a pedophile. Has any House Dem called for investigations yet? When Dems take the House next year, what investigation will there be? Who will be subpoened? Who is holding hearings? What's the timeline?

6. Beware of false attacks

Bondi is an election denier. Patel has an enemies list. Trump has promised retribution. When a Trump foe is under investigation, be skeptical. When you read leaks against pro-democracy leaders, consider that it may be part of an effort to discredit their work.

North Carolina: In 2024, 4 schools received more than $10 million in grants from the NIH for a total of $1.3 billion. Of that, $830 million went directly to research and $470 went to facilities and administration. The new rate would bring that to $125 million, a loss of $345 million.

The GOP’s new bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is a solution in search of a problem. Only U.S. citizens vote, with vanishingly rare exceptions. Even though the problem is fictional, the threat of disenfranchising millions of eligible Americans is very real.

Here’s the money line in the acting AG’s letter firing the prosecutors who worked on the Trump case. Leadership does not trust you in “implementing the president’s agenda.” DOJ supports and defends the Constitution, not the president’s agenda.

As I've been saying the Democrats didn't have a communication problem what we have is a VOTER suppression problem but I bet you won't talk about that. #TheView #CNN #@MSNBC True to Vote and Republicans are the problem.
