They’ve illegally detained & deported countless innocent people
They’ve arrested 5 Democratic lawmakers
Insurrectionists are state-sanctioned terrorists

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

Trump is revoking Pres. Biden’s security clearance, plans to fire the Kennedy Center leadership and make himself the chair, and demands WaPo columnist Eugene Robinson be fired for criticizing weak Republicans who don’t stand up to Trump. This miserable mam is a blot against America.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who agrees that Jim Acosta was one of the few watchable journalists on CNN before they let him go, and MSNBC should prioritize hiring him to replace Andrea Mitchell or Katy Tur.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it.
This is the precedent.
