This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Think of shutdowns as negative-sum negotiations. If your leverage comes from inflicting pain on bystanders, and your opponent is fine with that pain, you’ve lost leverage. All that’s left is pain—for workers, families, and businesses.

Soon we’ll learn whether our military stand by the principles that define their duty to our country and the Constitution—or whether they break them to serve the depraved, degraded & lawless desires of a wannabe dictator and his sycophantic “War Secretary.”

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it.

This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

Whether it's conservatives assassinating State Senators in Minnesota or liberals refusing to sell Alan Dershowitz pierogis in Martha's Vineyard, both sides have taken incivility to an extreme.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.

What an unbelievable asshole.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

The 39th time we've had to post this, and this time about The Onion's original hometown.

Maybe.
