Our party needs to match the energy and anger on the ground from the American public.
No collaboration. No votes for Trump nominees. No working with Elon Musk. We need to fight every time.

In holding that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen, race was the central issue — asTrump and his advisers must know. This makes Trump’s order an act of performative racism that tells us what kind of U.S.-born Americans he wants to exclude.

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Elon Musk spent $277 million to elect Trump, and now he's in charge of slashing programs Americans rely on. Trump's billionaire buddies are lining up for a handout while the rest of us struggle. Trump and the GOP are the party of the ultra-wealthy.

Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows).
Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.

The stories saying that the ERA, although duly ratified by 38 states as required by Article V, won’t become law until some functionary at the National Archives agrees to publish it, have no constitutional basis. I’ll be writing about this soon. Watch this space for a link.
