OMG yes.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning.

And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Time change is so hard for pets. They have their internal clocks highly-regulated. They're attuned to the rhythms and routines of the day. They know their rights. And suddenly, everything is in disarray and confusion and their people are pointing at clocks and lecturing them about arcane human rules

Democracy dies in silence.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.

Not today.

MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.

Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.

It’s a beautiful sight.

Most Americans are genuinely good people, regardless of their political affiliation.
So when the White House says horrible things to make you hate your neighbor, the White House IS THE PROBLEM.

This moral disinformation is getting old. Peaceful protest ≠ hate. Repeating that the Democratic Party is some monolithic extremist group does not make it real, no matter how many times they say it. We will not let authoritarian rhetoric shame or silence Americans who still believe in democracy.
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

Pleasant day out in my neighborhood in Chicago. There was a farmer’s market and people are out strolling, chatting, and sitting out on porches. Just like every weekend.

Except now most of us are wearing whistles to alert neighbors if unidentified guys in tactical gear show up to kidnap people.

A sane country would begin impeachment proceedings ASAP. Or yesterday. Or not have reelected him. Or not have elected him at all in the first place.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
