Renee Good was murdered by an ICE agent today. This is on Trump and every Republican Congressperson too cowardly to stand up to this insane Administration.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Trump’s ‘paramilitary force’ have shot and killed a woman. This Administration’s absolute lawlessness must be stopped.
Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

So, the Rubio “closed briefings” with lawmakers are obviously lies, evidenced by Venezuela. Can Congress stop this man before we wake up to an invasion of Greenland?!

100% agree.
No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Nearly a year into Trump’s second term, too many people feel stuck with chaos, corruption, and a government that doesn’t work for them. But this isn’t inevitable — and it doesn’t have to be this way. Check out my substack!

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

Starting a war without legal authority and abducting foreign leaders is a dangerous abuse of power. Congress needs to wake up before another generation of young Americans is sent to die in a fool's war over oil.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.
