Love this app, where I get to say “extremely radical left wing communist” things like: everyone deserves affordable healthcare and children should not be shot at in school and Palestinian people deserve safe and gentle lives in their homeland.

Something Rep. Al Green told me has really stayed with me:

“I think we have to do as much as we can, as fast as we can to prevent him from becoming a dictator.”

Rep. Green is a man of principle and is genuinely concerned by Trump’s overreach. He should be lauded not punished.
BREAKING NEWS: Congress has just voted to censure Al Green for disrupting Trump’s joint address.

This is complete bullshit.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend.

And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data.

Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Musk is specifically, targeting those government agencies that are investigating him for safety violations and ties to Russia.

Reminder: he said he would go to prison if Trump didn't win.

The irony of his own information system (Grok) providing a list of those violations, is priceless. ⤵️

Why aren’t we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmm… doesn’t add up.

I genuinely can’t get over how much this country hates women. I mean, I thought I understood, but every day feels like a fresh new injury.
Trump just announced Sean Parnell as the chief Pentagon Spokesman.

Parnell’s wife testified under oath that he repeatedly choked her. He ultimately lost custody of his children.
