If Donald Trump can illegally add his name to a national memorial, then we should celebrate his greatness by adding his name to all appropriate national monuments far and wide…

This is the energy Democrats need to be bringing party wide for the next year-plus. This is an administration of criminals & what they did to this poor woman, they would do to us all if they could. They deserve to face the full force of the law.
ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

We stand with Minneapolis. Arrest, investigate, and ICE get the fuck out.
We strongly condemn the deadly shooting of a Minneapolis resident by a federal immigration enforcement officer during an ICE and CBP operation. Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones, and with the Twin Cities community that is once again being terrorized by federal immigration raids.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.

I’m proud of the work we did on the House January 6th Committee.

January 6th should’ve been the end of a political movement based on a cult of personality, conspiracism, extremism & lies. Instead, it is now in power.

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is.
It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace.
It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

Look at every promise Trump made when he ran for President - and see how he has done the exact opposite of what he said he would do.

Time to call BS on the whole thing.

Never has a President wagged a dog harder than Trump and MAGA now.

To distract from Epstein, the explosion of health and homeowners insurance costs, and the tariffs that are decimating small businesses, Trump is plunging this country into a war and using our soldiers as pawns.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

A nuclear-armed U.S. under full totalitarian control is an existential threat to billions of people. To life on this planet.

It's up to us, U.S. citizens living here in the imperial core, to stop it. Nobody is coming to save us. Not the U.N., not the ICJ. It's us or it's nobody.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Donald Trump is scared of being upstaged and outclassed by the world’s most powerful American — Pope Leo XIV.
Why is Donald Trump Afraid of Pope Leo XIV?
The president is keeping his distance from the first American pope — dodging a moral reckoning on migrants and war, and dreading a spotlight he can’t control.
