Aurin Chowdhury rebutting Michael Rainville on his "defund the police" accusation. MPD has done nothing but ramp their budget off the chart. And then overspent that budget by $20 million. "That's the opposite of defunding the police. So let's give it a break."

Mark Kelly is not going to be silenced by the sick buffonery of Trump and Hegseth, two deeply unserious people. They picked a fight with the wrong guy.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.
Getting big money out of politics.
Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.
Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...
This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
