No one should have to face such threats.
It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

The ONLY innocent names in the Epstein files are the victims. Every other name needs to be exposed. There is no innocent way to be affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.
There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.
Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

One way to take action and make a difference. Don't worry about 2028 yet. Focus on this year's elections. Then next year's elections. That's one of the ways we ensure we even have a 2028.

Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

A warning from 1765 that's screaming at us today. When we surrender critical thinking for comfortable lies, atrocities follow—against truth, justice, and our shared humanity.

“The president demolished the White House.”
“The president politicized the FBI and DOJ to go after his opponents.”
“The president is why life is more expensive today.”
“The president was besties with Epstein.”
Messaging isn’t hard and makes you wonder why Dems aren’t saying this every day.

In case you forget, nearly every GOP member of the House is part of the coverup of the #Epstein files. All but 4 are protecting rapists of children.
