Your timely reminder that one thug demoted and relocated is barely a grain of sand at the bottom of the mountain we have yet to climb. Brace yourselves, we have a long way to go. #ICE #preschool #fascism

If Republicans want to be competitive in the 2026 elections they are going to have to get Stephen Miller out of the White House.
Trump is wildly unpopular. His domestic agenda has failed. The Epstein scandal is eroding his authority. The Europeans humiliated him last week, and now the country, and his own Party, are recoiling at ICE's lawlessness.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.
