The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.

No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

Local veterans in Virginia recently learned about the African American cemetery and the fact it had been overlooked in traditional military ceremonies.

This Veteran's Day, that will change.
Virginia vets pay tribute to an overlooked cemetery for Black soldiers
Organizers said they want descendants to help identify some of the veterans buried there.

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Happy Veterans Day!

Our veterans are defenders of democracy & freedom, and our communities are stronger thanks to their service, contributions, & sacrifices.

I'll never stop fighting for them to live with dignity, respect, quality healthcare, adequate housing, and so much more.

Schumer and the gang of 8 think that we will forget what they did to us.

They think we will just move on to the next onslaught of our rights and freedoms, the next headline, the next abuse.

We won't.

If you want to let these traitors know, the number for the Senate switchboard is 202-224-3121.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Murphy at #nokings: "The president of the United States during a shutdown, or even when the government is open, does not have the power to send masked men into our cities and pull off the streets our peaceful neighbors, and throw them into the back of vans and into prisons."

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?
