It's not making our communities safer. And we all know it could happen to any one of us. It wasn't enough to pepper spray her in the face, he had to go one step further and push her to the ground when she couldn't see what was happening.

There is nothing “morally sound” about the MAGA/Republican party, full stop.

Ha! For today’s fresh hell, this new “no plan” health insurance has been 10 years in the making. What a great replacement for the ACA…surely the House & Senate will act with due diligence to pass it, right? Or, maybe an EO will be the way to go.

Justice KBJ's courage, strength, grace, and intellect are to be admired and applauded. As a legal scholar, she runs rings around her Republican appointed peers. My prayer is that she will become the first female Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Unfortunately, this does not resonate with Republican lawmakers or ICE. The cruelty of zip tying unclothed children and removing them from their homes at nighttime, simply because they are not white, is sickening and inhumane. Which American value does this uphold?

That is exactly how the Nazis began testing methods of extermination prior to building gas chambers for the mass killing of Jews and other groups considered undesirable to perpetuate the master race. Frightening and despicable.

a playbook, they're going to use it." Trump is the puppet, with the evil puppeteers Miller and Vought pulling the strings. And yet, it's still shocking to see it playing out as planned. Any hope of Congress doing their duty is an illusion. Are we heading toward civil disobedience?
