1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams.

I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

FWIW, not all female bosses on the Hill have bad reputations. Plenty of them inspire loyalty because they treat their staff well. Every Warren campaign staffer I know loves her. Patty Murray has a deep alumni team that admires her. AOC treats her staff well. Same with Tina Smith

Trump is following the authoritarian playbook by the letter.
He plans to invoke the insurrection act and normalize the deployment of troops to his enemies.

MOST CORRUPT SC IN MY LIFETIME!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

"The Supreme Court has made clear that it will allow Trump to violate every constitutional prohibition, removing any obstacle in his way, and crediting the most farcical legal argument."

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.
