Government by law should have to provide all that's necessary for life and liberty, and the pursuit of happiness can flow from that.

It’s a scary time. So feel the fear, metabolize the fear and transcend the fear by working with other people to act with courage and stand tall for democracy and freedom.

Why did Trump just cave?

Because when the US borrows money it does so by selling Treasury bonds. Mostly to China, Japan, Europe.

Overnight there was a sudden spike in holders dumping their bonds.

Trump picked a fight with our creditors, and our creditors just won.

"I know what you’re thinking: That’s not possible. The U.S. government cannot snatch a citizen off the street, take him to an airport, and rendition him to a gulag in El Salvador without recourse. Let me explain to you why Trump could do exactly that."

Trump issues EO purporting to direct energy agencies to issue a regulation that sunsets ALL OF THEIR OTHER REGULATIONS after 5 years (forcing them to start over?).

And note the purported direction to FERC and NRC.

"...like a death squad or a firing squad.” Autistic teen with cerebral palsy shot nine times—from other side of fence—12 seconds after cops arrive on scene. No assessment of the situation. No attempt at de-escalation. Not even a conversation with the boy's family, who did NOT call them to intercede.

Tom Homan spoke at the AZ Capitol. AZ Dems walked out, and we stood with them.

Homan built a career tearing families apart—targeting not just undocumented people, but visa holders, green card holders, even VETERANS!

He doesn’t deserve a platform. Thanks, AZ Dems for standing with our Community.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.

The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.

Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

1) Do something autocratic
2) Wait to see how people react
3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on
4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it
5) Illegally consolidate more power
6) Repeat

IRS lawyers advise that what Trump wants to do with private tax information is likely illegal.

They do it anyway.

IRS commissioner resigns (3rd one gone in 3 months).
