I sat at my stepfather’s ICU bed a couple decades ago while he slowly drowned in his own fluids. Smoker. Cancer. (No more research needed there, eh?) any way, he says, “ I did this to myself.” Teary. I asked, ”is this what you thought would happen?” He says surprised, “No.” oh, dad. Oh, MAGA. SMDH

If Congress can evict 2 members for "sexual assault" where is their Impeachment for the President ?

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

BREAKING: Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna calls for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to remove President Trump from office.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

A little love from California today. Stay strong, Minnesota.

I’ll keep speaking about the survivors of Epstein’s network—because their stories matter.

Simple clear demands: Defund ICE Make Epstein files public Article 25/ try Trump for treason

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Has anyone written a coherent, good-faith argument *against* a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, or in favor of the status quo? What is the argument lawmakers use when explaining why they don't want a vote on the matter? Having trouble finding.
