Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

I am enjoying seeing all these #handsoff protests springing up around the country in towns both big and small. It's a hopeful thing to witness in such dark, scary times.

And I love these DC protest signs.

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.

Cory Booker is doing an amazing job taking over the Senate to call out 47 and his cabinet. Cory is so knowledgeable and articulate—even after nearly 24 hours at the podium.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.

I disagree.

They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.

It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.

Or in prison.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
