I've been protesting, but I decided to do something different. I made an ad. I've given a lot of thought as to how to communicate without confrontation to Republican voters, non-voters, or Trumpers who are beginning to be concerned. I hope you'll watch - it's only 30 seconds. youtu.be/bp6XUjteeV4

The House and Senate are battling over which chamber will take credit for passing Trump’s campaign promises in the form of a budget bill.
Lindsey Graham and Mike Johnson appear to be each chamber’s respective champion in this Trial by Combat.

No one can quash the legacy of the Tuskegee Airman.
Same for the Buffalo Soldiers.
That unit was sent to West Point from 1907-1947 to replace an undisciplined white unit. During segregation, they trained all the white officers who fought in WWI & II & they built a legacy.
We know their story.

Have you seen the new ad featuring a Black Mrs Claus being run in the UK by Boots? It’s being slammed by right-wing groups who say it’s racist against white folks. Sounds like the reaction we’d get if the ad were run here: ‘Too woke.’
Anyway—unbothered, Merry Christmas, and enjoy the ad, everyone.

The move will restore public sector workers' collective bargaining rights.

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.

I’m saying it now with hopes that it sinks in: Donald Trump cannot take any oath of office until he is granted amnesty for breaking the last one he swore. That’s just straight up in the Constitution. 2/3 of each House. That’s the bar.
