Not too happy about the pervasive and aggressive assault on our constitutional order or our foreign policy being taken over by an expansionist enemy of the United States.
We have to stop the fascists.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

We’re suing to expose records related to President Trump’s stunning effort to pocket $230 million in taxpayer dollars as a payout for investigations into his own misconduct.

Plus, DOJ's ridiculous response to my Epstein FOIA, Trump's corrupt collusion with a hand-picked immigration judge to re-arrest Kilmar Abrego, and more embarrassing DOJ losses!

A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.
The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.
He will be fine according to a relative.
