The "vote Blue no matter who" crowd and "shut up and don't complain about the Democrats!" folks are really, really annoyed with me.
Great.
I look forward to being a thorn in your side for years to come, pushing Dems to be more bold, progressive fighters for the people.

Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

Garcia: If you are a whistleblower at the FBI, at the DOJ, if you worked hard to put the files together and are seeing your work now being hidden by your own DOJ, contact the oversight committee. We have whistleblower protections.

Please share: My name is David Costello. I am a lifelong Mainer and Democrat running against Susan Collins. I too am concerned. I am concerned with endless decisions Susan Collins has made. We need to turn a page, retire Susan and take back the US Senate. Please watch and share:

Donald Trump is using the National Guard as his personal police force.
It’s illegal and courts agree.
This is what will happen when he deploys the Guard to Chicago.

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.
He's turning the homes into a compound.
That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.
I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.

The reason your rent, food, and medicine is high and rising is because of Trumponomics. Trump is robbing you, that's money out of your pocket going to his minions. Money you worked for, you are being robbed.

What’s happening, evidently, is that a troubling number of law enforcement offices view press coverage of public protests as a threat, rather than a protected legal and constitutional right. Bill Lueders on the cops joining the war on the press: www.thebulwark.com/p/cops-join-...

Rep Lauren Boebert (R) suggests Sen Padilla (D) committed a federal crime by interfering with officers.
Boebert has expertise on that (based on her own 2015 arrest) and a history of supporting law enforcement (except the officers attacked by J6 rioters, whose pardons she backed)

This is insane. I’m trying to think what the reaction would have been if Mayorkas, DHS Secretary under Biden, had got his security folks to manhandle and shove Tom Cotton or Ted Cruz in this way.

Apparently Roger Stone can film a video raising money for body armor for the Proud Boys days before they stormed the Capitol in body armor and that's AOK to Benny Johnson but if a Latino man hands out basic civilian safety equipment to civilians he's a thug

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!
