THIS is the energy we’ve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.
"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz?
HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment?
We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.

One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”
'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
Trump’s FCC chair earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license if they didn’t take action against him.

Ken Martin on Fox: "Remember, the '26 and '25 elections will be a referendum on Trump, and his numbers are actually in the toilet right now. He's sitting at 37% approval. So if I was the GOP right now, I would be worried too, which is why they're trying to cheat and steal these elections in Texas."

Thank you, Texas Dems, for standing up for democracy.
Playing fair has gotten Democrats nowhere against an administration that keeps rewriting the rules to stay in power and ignores the very people who elected them.
“The threat of arrest is something that should be a red alarm for a lot of folks.”
