Sen. Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific: "One boat was said to be in distress and trying to get back to land that was bombed—that was said to be a fisherman. I don't know because I don't have any of the evidence."

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

Photo by Anthony Vazquez at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Could the blue state governors tie up their own NG by putting them to work around the state on other "emergencies"? Like infrastructure, helping seniors with grocery shopping and gardening????

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.
