I’ve had to tell so many parents that their sons & daughters were dead, had been murdered. Their screams, their silences, their faces, their collapses, cling to me like cobwebs I can’t ever shake.

Our leaders, so callous with death as games or memes or brags, know nothing of grief, only of greed.

Since the Dow is at 47,500 are we allowed to talk about Epstein now?

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

A very low energy performance by Trump. His basic message for the 2026 midterm elections is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for Republicans to cheat.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections.

Here you go, I list and explain them one by one.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know.

It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

Again I say into the void: stop saying the ICE officer had no time to think. Time doesn’t start when the drama starts. They drove up. They walked up. They engaged. Stop saying there is only reflex, no thought. If so, stop arming ambulatory startle reflexes & calling them cops

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.

The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.

They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.

Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air

Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:

✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

My original thought was it’s a horror that Trump is in office for America’s 250th anniversary. Now I’m pleased that we will be reminded by our founders every day in 2026 that they fought to free themselves from a tyrannical despot and we must, too.

Remind yourself of this every day.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks.

Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics.

We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

📌Last year, Trump inherited an economy that according to the British magazine "The Economist" was "the envy of the world" coming off Covid.

It has taken him less than a year to completely wreck it.

Elections have consequences. A man like this never belonged near the levers of power. Not the first time. And certainly not this second time when everything was knowable. We are trapped in a tragedy and must fight our way out.
