Trying to save our country from losing its democracy by actively getting involved! The only tools we have, our voices and our vote!
Absolutely!
This is so wrong in so many ways, there should be congressional and criminal investigations when and if rationality ever returns to Washington.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

It’s about due process, period!
I am not here to adjudicate whether or not she has the country’s most terrific marriage but what I can clearly tell is that she is indeed still scared, and it’s of the government that keeps endangering her family and laughing about it and sending what I’m sure is a flood of death threats her way
Kristi Noem on Abrego Garcia's wife: "Is she still scared? So many people and victims I've worked with over the years, they say one thing in public because they have to to survive or to protect their children. So I wouldn't say that what she's saying today is how she really feels."

Our son is on the spectrum. He's played baseball and didn't like it. He's orchestrated pitch perfect arrangements of various songs using apps despite not reading music or playing an instrument. His artwork and animation skills are astounding.

RFK Jr. can fuck off into the sun with this bullshit.
The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

Great ideas, Norm! I am personally targeting Young Kim in CA-40 for my activism. She won her purple district in Orange County, California by about 10 points and is refusing to meet with her constituents. Well, I will, and do everything I can to make sure her seat flips to the Dems next year.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one.

This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay.
