I want to remind folks of something that’s still raw for me. After the 2024 loss, most Dems in Congress went quiet. You remember the silence. It was deafening.
Jasmine Crockett did the opposite. She stepped up early, got loud, and was never afraid to take on Trump.

Yes, Donald Trump deserves to be impeached.
But, no, the United States does not deserve to have a President JD Vance. Or a president Mike Johnson. Or a president Marco Rubio.
Trump ensured job security by padding the line of succession with people just as dishonest and incompetent as he.

This is the language of occupation -- how we descrbed Baghdad and Kabul. -- Continued deployment of paramilitary troops on the ground to enforce agreements is an occupation, not law enforcement.
Homan on Minnesota: "There will be a small force, a security force, that will respond when our agents are out and get surrounded by agitators. They will remain for a short period of time to make sure the coordination, the agreements we have with local and state law enforcement stay in place."
