Positive strong alliances with other
democratic countries are ESSENTIAL.

Whitehouse: Not only were the founders extremely interested in checks and balances but they were desperately concerned about corruption.

This Court has consistently taken the side of corruption against every device Congress has created to fight political corruption.

We have never seen a presidency as criminal, lawless, and corrupt as the fascist authoritarian Trump regime. No other presidency is even close. 😳👇

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Warren: "The president says here's what he thinks should happen to CNN. If that doesn't make your hair stand up, I don't know what does. That's him saying, 'You've got to make a deal w/me. That might involve a $1m a dinner & buying crypto & getting rid of a pesky news outfit I don't like'"

Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina.

In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination.

These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void.

Trump’s America.

Mubashir is a 20-year-old Minneapolis resident and a U.S. citizen. ICE assaulted him and grabbed him off the street anyway.

Cruelty and incompetence, and an unlawful detention. A kidnapping. ICE gets to do this with zero accountability.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Yesterday I argued in the Supreme Court to defend a 50 year old law that prevent corruption in our campaign finance system. Meanwhile, Republicans are attacking the 60 year old Voting Rights Act in SCOTUS as well. We won't let them gut democracy without a fight.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!

50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.

I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”
