What gives me hope is this: In my lifetime, I have felt moments of profound grief and staggering despair, but it is only since then that I have been able to actualize and appreciate the greatest joys.

We must first witness the darkness to understand the need for light.

Please don’t give up. 🍁

YES! MORE OF THIS! Thank you Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold from Oregon’s National Guard 🙏

Imagine looking 15 million Americans in the eye and saying, “Sorry! I simply must fuck your life up totally because billionaires aren’t rich enough and our cult leader is a child rapist.”

That is everyone in the #GOP Congress.

Call them.
Everyday.

Make a plan to peacefully stand on October 18th.
Its time we scared them shitless for a change.

If you don't walk (or wheel) a mile in shoes of someone with chronic illness OR their caregivers, you can't fully understand the struggles we face. We fight SO hard to keep up w/forms & paperwork & granted FORTUNATE access to healthcare to LIVE.

To dangle healthcare & RIP it from us is MERCILESS! 🤬

Arnold Schwarzenegger has no place lecturing Californians. He left 6 billion in cuts, classrooms gutted, and kids without care. He wasn’t a hero — he was the hatchet man for the rich. Vote Yes On Prop 50

My gracious, Hakeem Jeffries goes IN on Mike Lawler and I can’t decide which line is my favorite:

‘Don’t come for me unless I send for you.’

‘I did not send for this malignant clown.’

‘He thought he was confronting Beltway Hakeem…but he saw Brooklyn Hakeem.’

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

When we have prevailed...(and...we will)...and are engaged in a vigorous and unending process of protecting what we saved, doing so with a ferocity we hadn't been for decades, be one of those who is unquestionably able to say, "I never gave in. I didn't allow my position to slip so much as an inch."

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on two major altercations breaking out in the Capitol Building as Republicans grow more desperate now that their shutdown lies are failing and as they attempted to confront Democrats in front of the press which did not go as they planned.

That’s the percentage I was thinking too.

To be fair, you need not be targeted by fascism to become a victim of it. Trump doesn't care about the casualties he causes with his actions.

The republicans also do not want full blame for the health premiums. They need to show that the democrats were equally responsible if the democrats help reopen the government. The democrats need to hold the line.

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."

No Thrones. No Crowns. #NoKings.

On October 18, we rise. Not to protect a broken system, but to protect each other.

We do not bow to power.

We build people power.

Whitehouse: "The supposed contribution made to me by some Epstein person is actually not true. It's false. So, weird when an AG of the US comes to the Judiciary Committee & makes false allegations about a senator - demonstrably false - rather than answer a simple Q: Is there a picture, or no?"

This needs to be shared far and wide. One party would consider it acceptable to take money away from hard working Americans who are furloughed through no fault of their own.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Republicans want to double your healthcare costs.

Republicans want to rip healthcare away from 15 million people.

Republicans want to give their billionaire donors handouts at your expense.

And they’re lying about it every chance they get.

Trump has reached the point where many of his cult members are waking up and dropping support.

Because of this we can expect a huge uptick in lies, deception, misinformation, and violence against people.

His administration will attempt to silence and overwhelm us into submission.

Don’t let them!
