Reminder about Jan 6:

It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

As someone with an Masters degree in Business, a child of parents with Masters degrees in Education and a child who is studying to be an audiologist. This is asinine and harmful
They are reducing the number of recognized professional degrees from about 2,000 to fewer than 600, potentially worsening existing workforce shortages.

We white folks need to come right out and say, not just defund ICE, but ABOLISH ICE.
We should not have these jackbooted thugs abducting people off the streets and abusing them in illegal concentration camps.

I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

Trump has done enormous harm to the country.
He is a deeply corrupt and venal man.
He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed.
He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation.
It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

People don’t always follow politics (and who can blame them), but they understand stuff like “nothing to eat now,” “the president is bulldozing the White House,” “the president is hiding stuff about his relationship to America’s most notorious child sex trafficker”

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions.
The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I just did this. I called Senator Schumer’s office and said I won’t support democrats while he is leader. Also, mentioned they should not capitulate to a bully and the republicans are going to make them look like idiots again.
Have R senators? (Like me?) Call Schumer’s office to tell him you will never donate to another D senate campaign again as long as he’s Senate leader. Tell him this deal is a shameful joke and a betrayal.

I just did this and if nothing else it was cathartic. I said I would make it my life’s mission to make sure there’s a primary challenger for any D involved in this deal, it’s fucking embarrassing.

NEW: Ignoring Pope Leo’s Warning, Trump-Vance White House Bans Prayer Vigils at ICE Facility
Trump-Vance officials told Church leaders “no more prayer” outside a Chicago-area detention center — just days after Pope Leo warned the White House was trampling religious liberty.

A good day for democracy. Let’s not sit on these wins today. Let’s take this momentum forward. A year from now retake the house and hopefully the senate.

I had 3 children in 3 years, when I was under 50. Don't think a catastrophic plan would have been wise to have. It would have been catastrophic for our family financially. This GOP are such idiots, they just want us all to die.
DeSantis said “Most people, particularly under 50, what they really need is a catastrophic plan that’s affordable, where then they can pay whatever they’re doing out of a health savings account.”

JD Vance thinks praising Hitler and talking about putting political enemies into death chambers is harmless “kids being kids,” but criticizing Charlie Kirk is somehow deserving of state-supported punishment. It sure looks like he’s got quite the double standard. Yesterday, Vance defended Young Republican leaders who were caught in leaked chat logs making racist, antisemitic, and pro-Nazi comments, dismissing their behavior as harmless kids being edgy.
