Trump’s pardon of 1,600+ January 6th rioters has grave consequences for our democracy.
It empowers a group of people willing to commit violence in the President’s name and shows that anyone loyal to this administration is completely above the law.

🎩 I don’t have all the answers, and I don’t know what the fuck to do?
All I know is we cannot allow this to continue, the line has already been crossed!
And yet people are still acting as if we’re living in a functional democracy!
Wake up our government’s occupied by domestic terrorists!

Decades of research show that billionaire “flight” is wildly exaggerated. Wealthy people don’t uproot their lives over modest taxes. A one-time wealth tax would fund health care, food security, and education—all of which are driving up affordability. www.forbes.com/sites/teresa...

This. 😄
You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them.
Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them.
The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

Sad. He's so darn petty.
Per WASH POST, Stephen Miller will play an “elevated role” in Venezuela (what could go wrong!) and Machado won’t be president because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize Trump wants (yes, seriously)

In Duluth, I joined Adam and Ryan with Wild State Cider to discuss the federal hemp ban, which will hurt small businesses, farmers, and workers despite our state’s strong safety standards. I am working across the aisle to protect our state's thriving hemp industry.

That's like "I was just following orders".
GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔
@marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.”
GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.”
RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽♂️
