Pete Buttegieg had more people at his event in OK than JD had at his in GA.

It’s not that our message isn’t popular in Red spaces. It’s that it’s often not shared at all.

Trailblazing trans lawyer fighting Trump named one of the world’s most powerful people Shannon Minter’s TIME 100 recognition arrives as he fights the Trump administration's assault on transgender rights.

I love my Danner Logger 917 GTX. If you’re still there ask them to make some polish that matches their “charcoal” color. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

NSL4A member Brig. Gen. Paul “Greg” Smith, USA (Ret.), raises concerns about efforts to align the Department of Defense with a single religious creed—warning it could impact readiness, strain alliances, and conflict with constitutional principles.

House Republicans need to act.

Weeks into this unnecessary war, there’s still no clear direction, no real progress, and more questions than answers. It’s time to get serious, come back from your vacations, and do the job the American people sent us here to do.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Democrats are running the wrong kind of ads. We should be showing vignettes of Trump unhinged alternating with closeups of ICE violence shooting Good and Pretti, doing hard take downs of mothers, people describing conditions in their prisons, scenes from Epstein files-- everywhere. TV, YouTube....

Sue Gordon who used to give Trump the daily briefing:

“He’s a business man trying to use leverage to get a deal, not a world leader who understands the reality of geopolitics or any consequence of history and choices.

He just doesn’t have the tools to deliver difficult outcomes.”

It was never a US war, it is Trump’s war 💯. And it’s time our government starts functioning on behalf of The People again. Broken Cabinet and frightened Congress, please use your constitutional tools to stop this insane, un-American behavior.

Don't let the chaos and constant lies fool you. America's elections ARE secure. That's a fact. We need people of integrity to keep it that way. Serve as a poll worker and protect the vote: www.country1st.com/poll_workers

What she said. Let’s stop pretending and start demanding a functioning US Government.

Thune should immediately call the Senate back into session. Trump’s unhinged threats to commit massive war crimes against Iranian civilian targets show an increasing mental and moral instability we can’t ignore.

We have the constitutional tools to stop [waves arms wildly] this gangster nonsense. The people who carry the tools in their toolboxes, the Cabinet and the Congress, lack moral courage and are drunk on piss ant power. We turned our backs on the Greatest Generation. They weep beneath their headstones

Dear friends I would just like to remind you that NATO is the acronym for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. For some reason, the illustrious New York Times seems to think that it has the word "American" in it. I thank you for your attention in this matter.

A President simply cannot do this. It’s not like “controversial” or “breaking norms.” The President not controlling our money is the main structural support beam of American democracy. It’s the whole fucking thing. You let him do this, you have ended the separation of powers.

The “ma’am supreme “ appreciates all the peeps posts!

The American president has lost his mind.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
