Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

@schumer.senate.gov Dear Senator Schumer, thank you for your service, but we need you in the Senate leadership position like we needed Joe Biden still running for president 110 days before the 2024 election. You know what to do.

Cable news has people entirely too engaged with news stories that have nothing to do with them that they have no control over. But they're clueless that their local government is trying to bring a data center, raise their energy prices and close two middle schools.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately.
He blew off an order from a judge SO THAT he could send hundreds of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp, based on false claims of gang ties.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

It's a simple fix: return to status quo ante on global trade + tax on capital.
It is mathematically impossible to replace the income tax with tariffs without increasing the deficit by around two trillion dollars *each year*
at the same time, the swap would increase taxes on poor Americans despite still spiking the deficit by tens of trillions over the decade
