if they didn't receive due process, then they should sue. Due process is for everyone, it's not pie!
This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

@senatorjackyrosen.bsky.social supremely disappointed that you voted for Marco Rubio. The complete shut down down of our foreign assistance on YOUR watch.
I'm so disappointed in my senators, Rosen & Cortez-Masto. A Jewish woman and a Hispanic woman, and they seem to be doing fuck-all to try to stop this.

NEVADA DEMOCRATS: Call Senators Cortez-Masto and Rosen and ask them why they voted to confirm Marco Rubio! Ask them what we can expect from them going forward; resistance, or capitulation.
Senator Cortez-Masto (702) 388-5020
Senator Rosen (702) 388-0205

Democratic leaders must stop bringing pillows to a knife fight. Do not compromise, find common ground, or reach across the aisle. Bipartisanship doesn't work with fascists. Fight them as hard as you can. Sign the petition.

people don't get how many holes the State Department and USAID spend their fingers plugged into

Unilaterally shutting down USAID via Executive Order and merging it with State is openly illegal and Dems should immediately converge on D.C. and call for protests if Trump tries to do it.
