Roosevelt would never have gotten the New Deal off the ground if heād spent his time worrying about what Republicans had to say. When Iām Governor, we will pass universal childcare with or without them.

Frederick Douglass knew. "If left to their own devices," he said in 1866, "white Southerners, by unfriendly legislation, could make our liberty a delusion, a mockery."

US troops are not in Germany to protect Germany. Theyāre there because the US needs bases to conduct operations beyond the North American continent. If Trump withdraws them, he will harm the United States, not Germany. Itās absurd how many Americans fail to grasp this.

To those who have been troubled by Graham Platner's rise in the Maine Senate race, this podcast with Jon Stewart should give some peace. (As a 2nd district Mainer, I have been impressed with his ability to connect with all types of Mainers.)

"The Chinese government has the full, un-redacted Epstein files." "Anonymous has the full, un-redacted Epstein files." That's nice. I'll care about it when they're released publicly online. Until then, it's all just meaningless, shameless engagement bait.

Will you be withholding unanimous consent and forcing votes and the longest feasible time to debate every single action? Blocking every nomination? Seeking to remove your own innefective leadership? You are suggesting something you can't do while not doing what you can

I think you can make a case that a city would be better off being invaded by Tren De Aragua than being invaded by Border Control. 1) Residents could legally defend themselves 2) local law enforcement would protect residents (at least possibly)
