I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

The legislation the House and Senate Republicans just voted on will have your tax dollars go to corrupt politicians conspiring to overturn an election. The corruption is staggering. Your healthcare costs, household expenses, & ability to make ends meet go up while Republicans enrich themselves.

Wow. Tip of the iceberg. But, does it matter? Won't Trump's slavish followers find some excuse, some way to ignore it?
"House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged."

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

We will never see eye to eye with republicans on healthcare.
It’s because most of us believe healthcare should be a human right, affordable to anyone.
They see it as a profit-rich enterprise for big pharma and insurance.
This is why any solution they put forward is invariably a non-starter.

McGovern: He would rather appeal to the highest court in the land to starve people than simply provide them with the food assistance that he is legally obligated to do. That is the Republican policy position. We will give you your food if you let us take away your health care.

Is it me, or is Trump finding ever new ways to kill americans?
About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.
