If you voted for anyone other than Kamala Harris in November or chose not to vote, you really don't get to have outrage over all the awful things that are happening now. People like me were calling swing states, shouting from the rooftops that he was going to end democracy.

People magazine doesn't recognize multiple 2 Oscar nominated films, apparently, in their headline.
This headline was an abortion, People!
All of this MUST end.

People magazine reports on the death of Diane Keaton but doesn't mention the Godfather or Annie Hall in the headline.

Has anyone told Herr Miller and Secretary Beerbreth that there are two non-whites and a woman in this picture next to those two lean, mean fighting machines?

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.

This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.

Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

I present to you the acting US Attorney of the Eastern District of Virginia.

In addition to overseeing the prosecution of James Comey, Lindsey Halligan will also oversee a slew of national security cases due to the fact that her district covers the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Tremendously slender, believe me.

Hey, you helped Trump beat Hilary!
As your reward, you're being indicted for something - we haven't figured that out yet but, it will have something to do with you not sucking up to the giant, man-baby, King-Midas-in-reverse in the White House.

I just pre-ordered Escape! by Stephen Fishbach. I hope the protagonist is not a wimpy, little non-leader.
Congratulations on your book, @stephenfishbach.bsky.social

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Thanks to Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, I didn't have to fight CVS to get a COVID vaccine, for my wife.
I am immunocompromised so I qualify but, under the Trumpstein policy, she may not be eligible. We are both getting our COVID, Flu, & Measles vaccines on Friday.

Tulsi Gabbard revoked my security clearance after learning I'm considering a Senate run.

Laura Loomer and right-wing trolls unleashed a wave of attacks. Then came death threats.

The Trump machine wants to shut me up. But I won't:

I'm running to be Kentucky's next senator.

Trump's defense: I don't draw on castles, believe me. Many people are saying that I don't have a Sharpie big enough to sign a castle. Which is a democrat lie because I have the bigliest Sharpie in the world. Tremendous pen. This whole castle is a hoax

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.

Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

One of Redford's underappreciated roles is The Candidate. The lite dirty tricks in that film seem ultra-quaint now.
Hell, Karl Rove seems quaint now. I wish we weren't still trying to answer The Candidate's final question in that film:
What do we do now?

They tried a good cop/bad cop with him but they couldn't find any good cops in the MAGA-loyal FBI.
