What we needed was a Black Woman President.
It was real simple.

But you were too sexist and racist and believe Russian bullshit. Gaza your ass.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

This act of violence by Trump’s masked DHS agents against a minister peacefully protesting reminds me of the darkest days of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

Now as then, we will not be intimidated.

Airports are experiencing massive staffing shortages because of the Trump shutdown.

House Republicans remain on vacation.

Get back to work so we can reopen the government!

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Two years ago, Israel was attacked in a horrific act of terrorism and violence by Hamas. As we remember the victims, I remain hopeful we will achieve a permanent ceasefire, lasting peace, and return of the hostages so that Palestinian & Israeli children can live in a world where they are all safe.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

The American Right is consumed with hatred, anger, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and personal grievance.

Always remember this question: if terrified GOP actually considered Vance a plausible or natural successor, in what universe wouldn’t they have rid themselves of the mad king? Fact they haven’t tells me they’re even more terrified of the internal bloodbath they’re facing when he’s gone.

Saw the Temptations Reunion show at the Concord Pavilion. When it came for Just My Imagination Mr. Kendricks hands the mic to a vocal group that was in the audience and they sang the whole song while he beamed and the Temps sang backing.

He was the most generous and elegant performer.
