Donald Trump plans to try and end birthright citizenship via executive order.

He can't. The 14th Amendment is very clear on this, as is Supreme Court precedent.

Watch & share my explainer:
Debunking Trump’s Plan To End Birthright Citizenship

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.

Idiots.

The UN confirms Netanyahu’s siege on Gaza is consistent with genocide.

Two US State Dept reports confirm Netanyahu is committing war crimes.

Yet Biden and the State Dept continue to arm him unabated, and Trump has promised to do the same.

This cannot stand.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

If you’re more upset about a transgender woman using your bathroom than you are about a rapist felon running your country, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.

They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy.

So much for Christian charity toward the poor.
