As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

Trump has so transformed and degraded the machinery of American government that it isn't enough to just beat him or his successor. Someone has to rebuild the liberal democratic state.

This ostentatious Christian with the big cross around her neck is really saying that people who cannot prove their citizenship in an emergency room should be left on the sidewalk to die. And that's what she believes.

Swalwell on Comey: "What I would just say to any prosecutor at the DOJ is that it's not going away. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I promise you when Democrats are in the majority we will look at all of this and there will be accountability and bar licenses will be at stake."

The New York Times is the most influential source of right wing propaganda in the entire world. This shit is just absolutely absurd. We’re going to see our rights gone and be killed because of this newspaper.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.
No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

During my 2d combat op, a POG Gunny showed up with zero infantry experience. He commanded my Marines to commit war crimes because it was easier than Rules of Engagement. Someone found out 2 hours before he was to be fragged. He was removed from the unit, stripped rank, & flown Stateside to the brig.

I have never witnessed such groveling and obsequious behavior in my life. Trump ass kissing is nauseating. An American version of Kim Jong Un.

Using threats of violence to gain power.

Targeting political enemies.

Undermining the free press.

Pumping huge sums of money into the police state.

Just a few months into his second term, Donald Trump is already following the dictator's playbook to a tee.

This is what Trump's Solicitor General told the Supreme Court about Maxwell last month. Unless it's withdrawn, this is the official position of DOJ and the United States.

It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
