He is being actively supported by the whole Republican Party and Republicans. That is a continuing danger to our democracy.
Trump has to go NOW. You can’t suffer 3 more years of him. He’s already done so much damage. He’s done nothing right, nothing!Not sure how you remove him. 25th? He’s unfit for office. Everyone knows it.

And that is the issue. Not illegals committing serious crimes.
Most of these people are NOT criminals.
Some of these people;
entered legally,
have committed zero crimes,
& have gone through EVERY legal step towards citizenship.
And this is how they’re being treated.
This is what the world sees us doing.

If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.

They knew this policy was so unconstitutional that they kept the “legal memo” authorizing this practice hidden, wouldn't let physical copies of it circulate, and a whistleblower had to alert Congress about its very existence.

Jack Smith was sent a copy of Volume II to prepare for his testimony on the Hill, though he told Congress he didn't open it. So I think he has a copy, unless it was some kind of temporary access to a DOJ system like the DOJ Epstein Files computer terminals.

The people who really believe drug prices can be reduced by 1000% also believe rampant voter fraud.
Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.
