· Mar 30
The Queen's Gambit is a chess move sacrificing a pawn to gain control of the center of the board. In politics, it's much the same, a tactical move that turns a calculated loss into a strategy to win the long game. Make your move. #Resist

FBI seizing ballots and election records from a Georgia election office isn’t normal law enforcement. Nor is it normal for the Director of National Intelligence to be involved.
If the DOJ can be used to relitigate a settled election, it can be weaponized in every future one. This is not democracy.

Today’s Senate vote is an important first step toward unifying Democrats against the escalating violence carried out by ICE and Border Patrol in our communities. Republicans don’t have the votes to jam through this toxic DHS bill.

"Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe. But most importantly, he was my brother."

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook.
Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.
Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.
Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”

Reporter: Higher prices. The overall inflation rate as of July at 2.7%. That's well above what the Fed was targeting. When you look at just furniture prices for living room, dining room, and kitchen, almost 8%. This is before these furniture tariffs even kick in
