I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Exclaiming, “Happy New Years!” Is like saying merry Christmases. Stop it! It’s happy new year. Singular. FFS.

Yep. We have to shine an even brighter light on the lunacy.
When a leader becomes so weak & unstable, lies need to be amplified even more. Without them his cult of personality weakens. This might be insane but it needs to be understood historically. Fascism is more than ever the main ideological precedent for Trump's lies.

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.
Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

Trump's opening words,
"11 MONTHS AGO, I INHERITED A MESS" was perhaps the biggest lie of his entire angry Miller-written speech.
Taco Don inherited a booming economy from Biden, & so far, he's driven it into the ground.
Let's hope MAGATs can separate the salesman from the product.

Premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is called murder.

Good God.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
