Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120.
Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars.
Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families.
Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia.
It’s almost as if Trump is colluding with Putin.

I was surprised to see a pundit suggest Democrats take a “tactical pause” from fighting Trump and his cronies.
It’s unacceptable to sit back and let Republicans harm us. I wrote more on what I think we should be doing to fight back: katieporteroc.substack.com/p/this-shoul...

This shouldn't be a hot take: Democrats must fight back.
Now more than ever is the time for Democrats to get loud, to be persuasive, to offer new ideas, and to lead.

We’re fine….everything is fine….😳
Donald Trump's nominee for Solicitor General argued last year that the President could assassinate political opponents and, barring impeachment first, he could not be prosecuted him for it.
Even today, he embraces that dangerous view.

We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!
