What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.”

Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

In case you're wondering, the NYU law school has been running the War Powers Resolution Reporting Project at the Reiss Center on Law and Security, since February 2020. Researchers created the first publicly searchable database tracking all presidential 48-hour reports to Congress. 1/4

Literally this year the MN Speaker was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA chud dressed up as a fake cop & killed her

Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in MN wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to kids😐

OPINION: "And for all the talk about saving the American people money by gutting this agency, I can tell you that the federal government cutting AmeriCorps is the equivalent of me deciding to save money by not spending $10," Kevin Edwards writes.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Trump has gone off the rails this morning, calling for democrats to be arrested & killed, which only means one thing: he knows his time is up.

He will be impeached. He will be convicted. He will be removed. And this entire regime will be held accountable for its attack on our democracy and people.

Felon Trump rolls out the red carpet for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who ordered the brutal murder of journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.

My thoughts on this disgusting act of fawning & favor by Trump & how it demeans our standing on the global stage.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

It really doesn't get any more American than millions of Americas protesting against a tyrannical wannabe king.
Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

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.
