Political insiders are obsessed with labels and putting everybody in a bucket. I wake up every day and say, "Look, are my decisions today going to make life easier for everyday working people?"

That's it. That's the kind of Democrat I am.

White nationalist Lana Lokteff says we have to "repeal the Civil Rights Act" to stop black people from invading "all our white spaces": "All of this because they couldn't drink [from] the same water fountain or use the same toilet. Was it really that big of a deal?"

For the first time in all the years I’ve watched it, I turned off PBS NewsHour long before it was over because I just couldn’t stand to hear anymore from this day. I don’t want to be ignorant, but gosh the intentional act to overwhelm the populace from this administration is palpable.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

I participated in Part 1 of MoveOn.org’s ACT training on Monday evening. As part of an action step, I left msgs with Sen Budd and Sen Tillis about Russell Vought’s confirmation. I’m committed to finding and surrounding myself with “my true people” this year.

Dear Gentle Readers,
There is an overwhelming amount of chaos this administration is throwing at us every minute.

Choose 1 issue that you are passionate about.

Focus your energy.

If we each pick 1 - it helps to overwhelm the darkness w/ sparks of light throughout.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.

Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

Rep. Lauren Boebert offering to give January 6th pardoned/commuted rioters a tour of the Capitol…

Honey, maybe they should give YOU the tour as I’m pretty sure they know their way around after all they urinated and defecated openly there and beat police officers there.

Trump spent Thanksgiving sitting like a schlub at Mar-a-Lago while Kamala Harris spent the day prepping food for underprivileged DC’s school children.

If you think I’d regret my vote for her for one second you are out of your mind.
