It looks like Republicans think that unless you’re a billionaire, you don’t deserve a damn thing in terms of help or support.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

I’m an ex sex crimes prosecutor. I can attest it’s degrading to have a rape kit done. If an alleged victim submitted to one, I knew we had a real rape on our hands when I prosecuted cases.
Fox contributor Leslie Marshallthr tears into the nomination of Pete Hegseth:
“I am a rape victim, and I can tell you there’s a reason one in 10 rapes go unreported…Somebody doesn’t go into the hospital and subject herself to that…as a victim, I believe the victims, and this is a problem for me…”

Trump has fired 12 inspectors general without providing the 30-day notice to Congress required by law. He really is pushing the legal limits of his power and daring Congress to stop him. I’ll discuss at 10 AM ET on MSNBC.
