Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

This bill would kick millions off their health insurance, and thousands will even lose their lives - unless we stop it in its tracks.
Some Republicans are breaking ranks, showing it's not too late. Time to speak up!

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:
They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.
5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

What we’ve gotten from Trump: higher prices, cutting healthcare and food stamps to fund tax breaks for billionaires, and more endless wars.

Why push for impeachment?
Because politics is an exercise in moving public opinion as much as counting votes in the senate.
The Jan 6 Hearings were not a criminal proceeding against Trump that would end in jail, but they focused public attention.
Performative public investigations matter
