It’s awful to hear that National Guard troops were shot after they were needlessly-and possibly illegally-deployed to Washington DC

Tomorrow many of us will sit down with our families for Thanksgiving-while they will likely be in hospital beds

So consider taking just one moment to think of them
My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

Stephen Miller continues to perform his one-man horror show with his Gestapo, about immigrants, a veritable marathon. Every time he speaks, it sounds like he's narrating a Nazi dystopia audiobook, that no one asked for.

#BlueSkyVets Charges of sedition leveled by Trump & Hegseth against six Democratic lawmakers represent a brazenly hypocritical & dangerous political maneuver.

Becoming deeply disturbing when juxtaposed with Trump's own history of pardoning insurrectionists.

This holiday season, we refuse to feed the machine that jacks up prices, exploits workers, and buys off politicians.

Seriously, what other president is even remotely in his league?

There was corruption in the Grant and Harding administrations, but the presidents were largely uninvolved. Nixon committed crimes in secret but didn't really line his own pockets.

Trump is like a Thomas Nast cartoon come to life.

In a moment built on cruelty, kindness becomes rebellion. It’s how we stay human, how we fight back, how we refuse the world they want us to accept.
