I'm on the Senate floor right now debating Trump's Big Ugly bill, and I really worry Americans do not fully realize just how bad it is.

Please help get the word out.  

This is just SOME of what's in the bill (so far).

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. 

A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Make it make sense.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

It is absurd how much the stigma of any opposition to the Iraq war has been erased, and retroactively, everyone was magically against it.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

So important. This is America.

Freedom, equality, democracy, human rights are not and never have been dictated by polling approval.
I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Here’s former ABC reporter Terry Moran’s first post on Substack. Thank you, Terry, for being unafraid to lift up your voice. This is bigger than politics as usual.

When a President is handcuffing Senators, threatening the free press, and so much more—we all have to speak up for our democracy.
Senator Murray is right.
We will lose this democracy if we do not use our voices.
