“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of?

The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”
Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

I thought I couldn't despise Trump more. I was wrong.
The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country.

The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US.

He had a golf tournament to get to.
…U.S. soldiers were honored by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausada, as well as other dignitaries, during a dignified departure ceremony from Lithuania.

"We consider US soldiers in Lithuania as our own. The farewell ceremony once again demonstrated our society's solidarity, respect, and…

Donald Trump dropped a bomb on the economy, raising prices and ruining retirements, and then flew off to a golf tournament in Florida. A real man of the people.

We had a town hall last night in a county Republicans won big. It was standing room only. People were frustrated, angry, even scared—veterans, federal workers, parents, seniors. We must be bold and not afraid, especially when policies hurt our economy and threaten the health and safety of ALL.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

Don't let yourself get used to this stuff. It is not normal.

Illegal to criticize the president? Those are the words of tyrants.

A dangerous speech from a small, petty man.
Trump at the DOJ: "I believe that CNN and MSNDC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party. And in my opinion, they are really corrupt and they are illegal. What they do is illegal."
