In case anyone doubted it, this Texas gentlemen reminds us we definitely aren't all the same; and there's a vast ocean between what MAGA is and who WE are.

We are never the same people. We still believe government should work for the people, not against them. We fight to keep workers paid, families fed, and the system running while y'all Republicans play power games and cheer as the country burns. Call it what it is: sabotage dressed up as “principle.

"The authoritarian will hurt you if you do not cooperate with them. But a liberal regime will not punish you for having cooperated with authoritarians. So your incentives are clear." How do you fix this?

Here’s How Trump Loses the Shutdown

God help us but Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat who understands power.

Jacob Soboroff of MSNBC continues to perform heroic, eye-witness reporting from the ground - from Trump 45's cruel child separation implementation in 2017 to today in Chicago. He's one of the best MSNBC has.

We are not scared. The blowback from the abuses by this violent fascist regime will terrify tyrants everywhere.

They will ALL face JUSTICE. Bad news for them—punishments will be proportionate to the crimes.

We ARE The People—hundreds of millions of us vs. thousands of them.

Stevie, Kash, Kristi and Russ are hated from afar. ICE agents can be hated UP CLOSE. And it WILL affect them. Make them as uncomfortable as possible.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

"Making the rigged election claim to the military now, retroactively, is a half-step. By stating it as fact and forcing the general staff to accept it, he is laying the predicate to make such a claim directly to the military in the future." www.thebulwark.com/p/legal-orde...

“Legal Orders” and Trump’s Military

Authoritarians don’t take power by openly flouting the law. They look for pretexts and legal theories.
