It is with profound sadness and grief that I share the unexpected passing of my beloved mother (and protector & advocate)

It happened suddenly, one moment with us, the next moment I got a call saying she wasn’t

She loved her sons so deeply. We are so lucky to have called her our mom.

He gave $40B to a foreign dictator, millions for Noem’s jets, he’s trashing the White House for a ballroom and we’re just trying to survive. There should’ve been more than 7 million in the streets on No Kings Day. Come at me but you know I’m right.

Does anyone else remember when Joe Biden referred to Trump supporters as "garbage" and it was a top news story for days?

Meanwhile, Trump refers to Democrats “scum,” “vermin,” “animals” and “enemies of the people” and we get a collective shrug from the media.

Also, Dems in NYC have already done the job of getting rid of Cuomo. He's running as an Independent.
Like Kamala said to Maddow, 'if they're the Dem candidate, SUPPORT THEM!'
Cuomo's dissing Dems with every word out of his mouth.
Don't be a Cuomo... that's what I say.

I'm for ANYONE who can win where they are.
Progressives to moderates, depending upon district.
All hands on deck!

Re: Deadline WH
Keep in mind that NOT everyone lives in a state that will go for YOUR idea of the 'perfect' candidate.
Right now we don't have the luxury to be picky.
If a good Dem who is also a 'good ol' boy' runs down here, DEEP IN THE HEART OF TX? EMBRACE THEM!

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday.

This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all.

You may break our bones, but you will not break our spirit.

Rebuild Illinois is one of the most comprehensive infrastructure programs in the nation — and we're making sure no community has been left out.

That includes River Drive in Moline, where we're breathing new life into the community and bringing more foot traffic to businesses.

We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.

The "Party of Law & Order" is surprisingly partial to pardoning and commuting the sentences of convicted criminals who disobey the law and disrupt the order.

Oh, yeah. I know.
I just hope I wasn't misunderstood with my initial reply.
I live in South Texas. There are a lot of Latinos who side with tRump. In this case I was merely commenting that tRump is USING POC to attack POC. That was MY observation from the clip.
It's just wrong. ALL WRONG. #NoKIngs

Look at all of the men and women of color being used by tRump in their trooper garb. What a SAD day.
