It’s time to tear down this secret police force.

Alex Pretti died as he lived — protecting his neighbors.

Not hiding behind a mask.
Not shooting a man in the back.
Not lying to cover it up.

In a country run by cowards, be like Alex Pretti.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.

This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Trump wants to rule like a king. And Republicans? They’re helping him—by sneaking dangerous provisions in their megabill.

In America, we have no kings. We have the rule of law.

No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.

This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

Today, a United States Senator was arrested for asking a question of a federal official, in a federal building, as was his right.

If it can happen to a sitting U.S. Senator, it can happen to anyone.

Silence is complicity. We are at a crossroads. We must speak up.
