Mr. Rodgers immediately comes to mind but I have to admit that there aren't many that I would feel comfortable suggesting. I've had so many of my childhood role models turn out to be scumbags or at least problematic. Garrison Keillor letting me down broke my heart

In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

Look, I know we're all sick of hearing "if this had happened with any other president ..." but it's absolutely true and absolutely can't be forgotten.

For some reason, this nation gives this idiotic spoiled brat a free pass from things that would destroy the administration of any other person.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Any Democratic senator not calling for Schumer to be removed as minority leader is complicit in this fiasco. Disgusting actions.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

It can't be overstated what an abject failure @schumer.senate.gov has been in confronting the crisis of fascism in America. All the people fighting, organizing, everything - all thrown out the window by this coward. Can't the @democrats.senate.gov for once have a fighter in leadership?

For obvious reasons, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Facial recognition has high false positive rates for immigrants in particular!
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people
