The richest man on Earth is a drug-addict Nazi with an office in The White House.

What are you going to do about it?

We must bring together voices who can help the party's message resonate across race, ethnicity, gender, generation, geography, and ideology.

"After the 2016 election... many news organizations got a so-called 'Trump bump'."

I canceled cable the moment he won, and I hope folks starve the companies that sanewashed the extreme and incoherent ramblings of that elderly man. They sold us all out for ratings. Let a new media landscape bloom.

Gaetz resigned 2 days before they could release the ‘damning report’ from the ethics investigation AND he doesn’t think he could be confirmed. What a desperate man.
Matt Gaetz in August 2023 on becoming attorney general: "The world is not ready probably. Certainly Senate confirmation wouldn't be."
