Donald Trump is a threat to democracy around the world.

My first, second, and third acts as your next congressman will be to impeach Trump, impeach his cabinet, and codify guardrails to defend our democracy.

The Trump regime’s pullback of federal immigration agents from Minneapolis is a major political retreat.

But what does it mean?

Here’s what I’m hearing about the real reasons for the pullback and the lessons to be drawn from it: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-what-does-the-regimes

This man is everything that is wrong with our culture right now. And Trump & his Republican colleagues have shown us they don't care how disgusting, hateful, & Islamophobic any of them are.

He should be expelled from Congress, but he’ll get away with it like Trump does every day.

ICE "brutally" detained a minister in Vermont. The Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.
He fled torture in Uganda. ICE is trying to send him back.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign.
