This is who our President is...

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Is that an old pic that someone used? Because Pat Tillman died years ago inn Afghanistan. A couple wars back.

I think comments from the public do affect them, esp. in the context of upcoming elections. But we all have to allocate our energies as we think best. I write a lot of letters to voters.

The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

. The reality is that our alternatives are: vote and get power that way at whatever level you can from school board up or organize an armed revolution, which isn't going to happen.

I'm tired of the "lack of leadership" It's mostly lack of knowledge of what is being done and what can be done.

Another gentle reminder that early voting options include in person early voting and mail in voting. Some states have both.

The Kurds would be fools to trust the US. We armed the Syrian Kurds and urged them to do our fighting for us and then abandoned them.

Impeachment, conviction, and removal only work when Congress has a spine.

Senators Slotkin, Reed and Shaheed are talking about funding the war, rationalizing that--though they opposed it--they now need to support fighting it. WE NEED TO START HAMMERING THESE WIMPS. It's worse, in my mind, than the amoral folly of Kerry and HRC on Iraq.

I think there are several orgs doing that but you could contact your local Democrats about doing that kind of outreach in your area.

Yuck. Why do we always have four or five Ds that cave?

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

She acts like she thinks she can get by on being pretty. And before anyone starts screaming that I'm a sexist--no. SHE seems to think she can get by on being pretty. That's her response to questions--confabulations and posing.

AOC: β€œThat’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

Senators blocked an effort to make President Donald Trump end strikes on Iran.
What happened? Democrats forced a vote in an attempt to halt a war started without the consent of Congress. Only one Republican voted in favor and one Democrat voted against.

I don't even have to click the link to know that one Democrat was my perennial disappointment of a senator.

Here’s the thing with Platner: what is his actual deal? We have a lot of information about this guy. He hasn’t been a longtime fighter for his community or progressivism or populist causes. He just woke up one day and decided to start saying the right words. Well, okay, a lot of people can do that.

There's nothing racist about discussing the difference between percentage and raw total. It's just math.
