The dishonesty of “conservatives” about the killing of Renee Good makes me want to quote Lincoln: “When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.

We know what we saw: A mother, a daughter, a wife, and a U.S. citizen killed in her own community.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Democrats need to develop a strategy to prosecute the war criminals in the Trump administration regardless of the inevitable blanket pardons that Trump will give out

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports.

But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.

maybe a hot take but you can simultaneously acknowledge

1) that republicans are awful and their bill will destroy Medicaid so they can cut taxes for the super rich

2) that, in order to be as effective an opposition party as possible, Dems really need to stop running elderly candidates

Democratic deaths allowed 3 Republicans (including 1 in an actually competitive district) to be able to avoid having to wear this vote around their necks.
Two Republicans were there and took a walk (Schweikert and Garbarino) and Andy Harris was just irritating leadership with the present vote. The vote math says this was not decided by deaths, it was decided by elections and by Republicans making voting decisions. Just, you know… saying
