Pritzker calls for mass protests and disruption - “Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” he says, swaying their portraits will one day be put in museums “reserved for tyrants and traitors”
I'd like to see more people point out that every time the Trump Administration complains about leaks—or we learn that another Trump department has threatened employees over leaks—the stakes aren't about leaks at all. The Trump Administration is scared that media will find out what it's really doing.

“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”
When even Rogan is like, wait a minute, this might be going too far…
"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

“The original opening date had to be pushed back as they wanted to document their response to the tariffs, which required some re-shoots.”
Pete Hegseth leaked U.S. war plans — again. This time in a Signal chat with his wife and lawyer. If you or I did that, we’d be in jail. But in Trump’s America, the rules don’t apply to the powerful.

Trump keeps LOSING almost every court decision
Glad to see you!
Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.
This was always the risk with Gabbard and Patel at the head of our intelligence gathering.
We not only will lose our own sources who won’t trust them, but we will lose intelligence from our close allies.
This makes a terrorist attack on US soil much more likely.
Healthcare. Access to guns. Lack of support.
When do all the big issues get addressed…
Heart goes out to all those affected directly and indirectly.
Found out that yesterday in my home town, someone entered the hospital’s ICU and zip tied the medical staff. Held them at gun point. Several wounded, police officer killed, and the assailant killed.
Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
Elon Musk is making wild claims that #DOGE has found evidence of massive Social Security fraud....
The reality is that Musk's young engineers don't seem to be able to understand COBOL databases while Musk is misrepresenting the Social Security data

We’re royally screwed. Don’t know what to say anymore with how brazen he is in causing pure destruction and how people will continue to support it. How many politicians will follow rank & file.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
I for one am all for it 😃
GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.
