The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Invading Venezuela will do nothing to protect the United States and directly puts American lives at risk. We must stand up now and stop President Trump from dragging us into war with Venezuela.

I’m closely monitoring this horrific shooting and hope for a swift and full recovery for the injured servicemembers. They never should have been in this position to begin with.

I stood with community leaders at the ICE facility in Burlington today to say: No family should fear separation. No refugee should be stranded. No human being should be denied dignity. The Trump administration has broken our promise of justice and we must repair it.

An investigative expose. Forty-one percent of migrants say their belongings never returned from ICE custody, and the items left behind at the moment of arrest disappear just as quietly.

In s1e2 they mention Brody’s family is having financial troubles, as a way to pressure him into reenlisting.
He has 8 years of backpay due to him, how would they be in financial crisis?
If taken as a POW in combat your pay doesn’t stop, does it?!
