This is important.
I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote.

To Recap:
You can commit a crime by negligently divulging military secrets, in violation of the Espionage Act, and you will *not* be arrested.
But if you have an autism awareness tattoo to support your autistic brother, you *will* be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp in another country.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

These are the Democrats who just helped Trump by voting for cloture. Beyond disappointing. Dems can do much better than this.

To our allies, economic partners, & friends in Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, the E.U., et al. - I’m sorry about how badly my Government is fucking everything up. It hurts my heart to see 47 shredding democracy in the USA and screwing everyone else over in the process. I hope we can fix this.

I’m using the app - so should you!!! (If calling your members of Congress seems at all hard - this will dial for you & give you a script to read!)
They're lying to you about their budget plans because they know nobody wants to slash funding for Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

There is no strict constitutional prohibition against giving the nuclear codes to teenagers, so it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset about the DOGE kids taking over the Pentagon.

@markzaidesq.bsky.social on the mass firings in the Trump DOJ: “These are individuals that have spent 15-20 years inside law enforcement through multiple admins that are now being fired for daring to do one thing: they got assigned to work on a case that involved Donald Trump.”

How to Take Heart From What Really Worked in the First Resistance
Marches and lawsuits are fine, but the real wins over MAGA last time were powered by grassroots activists pushing from thousands of districts across the country.

The Importance of Information
When the dust settles, I expect the people who assess elections will tell us disinformation was key in 2024.
