We will never be able to put our country back together until we prosecute those who are breaking the law multiple times a day. It’s what should have happened four years ago and it is a huge part of the reason we are in this mess today.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:
•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court
Seriously: Why the hell not?

There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.

First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.
Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.
Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

The gerrymander in Wisconsin is outrageous.
Of their 8 congressional districts, 2 of them are Democratic. That means 25 percent of their delegation is Democratic when Democrats regularly win 50 percent of the vote in that state.
How can this possibly be allowed?

Imagine 67 Democratic Senators and a Democratic House majority.
The House could impeach all corrupt politicians and judges, and the Senate could convict and remove them from their positions. It could be done in a month.

There are so many times this nightmare should’ve been over, but I’ll never get how inciting a violent coup on J6 didn’t lead to a prison term post haste. That fucker should’ve been yanked by the lapels out of the White House, handcuffed, and hauled away that day. Everyone knew he was responsible.
