Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Can we all agree that our country did just fine the first 225 years of its existence without the Department of Homeland Security and would do just fine again without it?

Proven voter fraud cases are far less than 1/1000 of 1% of votes cast. (Right-wing Heritage Foundation numbers). The SAVE Act has nothing to do with election integrity and everything to do with voter suppression. P.S., in the majority of cases it's a Republican.

Standing Up For Our Neighbors - A Vital Lesson From The Siege Of Minnesota
Dems need to make clear they are for reining in ICE, *and* stopping mass deportation and the expansion of the detention centers. We must stand up for our neighbors.

In the Navy, NASA, and the Senate, I’ve served under many presidents whose integrity and dedication to upholding our Constitution made our country stronger. On Presidents’ Day, I’m especially grateful for the leaders throughout our history who’ve embodied those principles.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand
it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating
