This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.

We are at war. Trump wants to end our freedoms. It's time for Democratic leaders to grasp that. They need to use every legal means available to vocally push back including creating a shadow cabinet like in the UK. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/elie-mysta...

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.

There’s a whole lotta older MAGA in my social sphere - they get social security, live on fixed incomes, use Medicare, rely on undocumented help, have their neat-egg heavily tied into the stock market… and they’re starting to quietly, but openly, express signs of worry.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

Hearing a lot of folks asking for Town Halls. Good. Because my team’s already on it. We’re coming to every county in District 6—because I’m not waiting for Day 1 to do what Representatives should be doing already. Show up. Speak your mind. Tell me what’s weighing on you most right now.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.

800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.

There is a movement to be harnessed here.

You’re either with the Nazis or against the Nazis. Those are the only choices.
Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC.

Nazism has officially taken over the GOP.

The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.
