So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.
Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

If George Soros *only* has 7.2 billion, but Trump claims he paid 5 million people $100 million each to protest, how much more money would George need make Trump’s claim true?
George would need $492.7 BILLION more
than he currently has.
That’s half a trillion lies.

Today’s hero: Brenna, a lawyer who thinks the rule of law matters and resigned from her law firm that betrayed it.
Seems like a low bar for a lawyer, but these are extraordinary times with extraordinary cowardice.

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

Sen. Ruben Gallego tells me his NO on the House funding bill means he will also vote NO to advance it procedurally.

Because, as my Christian relative explained to me recently, ALL Palestinians are uniformly hateful toward Israel and want its wholesale destruction. To be Palestinian is to be the enemy, subhuman, despicable and disposable.
Trump will dehumanize all who oppose him. Today Schumer. Tomorrow, us.

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

You know what the Democrats actually COULD do? They could stop showing up to events where that blowhard is speaking. Just, you know, don't go. And instead, use that time to figure out a unified plan for the next four years...or even the next four days.
