Solving this problem begins with impeaching trump. American voters must reject GOP candidates in future elections to create a democratic majority in Congress. Then trump impeachment can be accomplished. American voters have work to do.

Washington Post v. Democracy Docket on today's Bolton news.

I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong.

After driving down the market price of the overdose-reversing naloxone, we're now working to do the same for insulin.

California is taking direct action by supporting contracting for a quality, low-cost insulin supply — and we will keep fighting to slash costs for Californians.

The Supreme Court Left No Doubt: It Will Gut the Voting Rights Act.

A ruling gutting Section 2 could have a cascading effect on congressional maps in mostly Southern states.

The six Republican justices are going to declare the Voting Rights Act.

Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered state troopers and Texas National Guard members into Austin ahead of a planned protest this weekend, which the governor called an “antifa-linked demonstration.”

Exactly. We are anti fascism! Who’s buying the GOP’s BS?

🔥After promising NO cuts to Social Security, the Trump Admin. is prepping a proposed rule REDUCING share of APPLICANTS who QUALIFY for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) by up to 20%!

It’s the LARGEST cut EVER to SSDI. CRIMES AGAINST PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES! 🤬

Let this renewed threat against San Francisco be a warning to every community: Trump will not stop with L.A., Portland, D.C., or Chicago. Your city could be next.

Using our servicemembers for law enforcement is illegal, and I'm prepared to do everything I can to block this threatened deployment.

We are united against kings. Trump has already indicated that he’s aiming for at least a 3rd term. But #WeThePeople don’t put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption & abuse of power.

C-SPAN: Mike Johnson says Republicans “have always stood with Capitol police and we’ve shown that.”

Republicans forfeited their right to ever say the back the blue, when they betrayed the Capitol police officers by voting against a Jan. 6th investigation.

I was born in 1972. The replacement rate he's panicked about has been below 2.1% for almost every year of my life.

If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.

Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

📌BREAKING FROM AP: John Bolton charged in a federal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information.

📌Bolton's a selfish asshole, but if that was a crime in America, Trump would be doing 198 life terms.

📌Fascism is here.

The word “antifa” isn’t new.

It was coined in the 1920’s after a group of Italian anti-fascists began organizing to counter the growing fascism in Italy.

It was submitted for consideration by one of Merriam-Webster’s lexicographers in 1955.

I’m proud to continue this more than 100 year tradition.
