Lifelong helpless or hopeless romantic. AF veteran (25 years). I hate war and Frump+MAGA!!! Half ass survivor of Ronald Regans "trickle down" economics. More freaking war stories than most people can fathom. (And they are all the truth.)

I SWEAR TO WHOMEVER YOU BELIEVE IN. How in the name of hell do you run strategic kill strikes from a golf course in Florida? Understanding that I'm later than most reference this subject, however, I'm Irish and I showed up. Please, how are we going to deal with this "dick tater" from day 1? Thanks.

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

Tom Homan and the Case of the Missing Fifty Thousand

Lawmakers and ordinary citizens have to keep asking about the bag of cash, or accept an executive branch without any accountability.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

My daughter and I went to our No Kings rally in our small town in Ohio.

There were hundreds of people, maybe up to 1000. About 15 minutes in I found myself tearing up. I didn't realize how much I needed to see other people wanting to fight for our country. It's been such a painful and frightening time. I really needed this.

Yes, AIPAC. I do support human rights. Thanks for noticing!

A fundraising email sent by AIPAC that says:

Dear [REDACTED],
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has announced her retirement, and Illinois' 9th District will have an open primary for the first time in decades. Wasting no time to enter the race is anti-Israel detractor Kat Abughazaleh, a 25-year-old "social media influencer". Kat does not mince words when it comes to her thoughts on Israel and the bond between our two nations. Her radical foreign policy agenda includes:
• Calls for unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state and labels Israel's presence in the West Bank as an "illegal occupation".
• Baselessly blames Israel for the deaths of "tens of thousands" of Palestinians, without recognizing Hamas' initiation of the conflict on 10/7/23.
• Promotes the International Criminal Court, a biased, antisemitic institution targeting Israel under the false guise of justice.
And she's not just loud, she's well-funded - Abughazaleh has already raised nearly $1,000,000, positioning her as the financial frontrunner in the early stages of this race. If we don't act now, she could win.
She poses a direct threat to our mission and the future of Israel's security.
Fortunately, we have a fighter of our own: Illinois State Senator Laura Fine.

While Americans suffer from the government shutdown and farmers go bankrupt from Trump’s trade wars, Trump rides around his golf course telling his rich friends their taxes are going down. So out of touch.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.
