Rand Paul, who hand delivered a note from Trump to Putin with unknown contents, wanted to get rid of the espionage act. Here is a reminder from Senator John McCain that Rand Paul and Donald Trump work for Vladimir Putin.

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

This is not normal, and continued and ever-increasing rhetoric like this should not be treated as normal. #holdfast #steadystate

"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

”You said it like it was a bad thing”. Trumps response to a reporter about 24M losing health insurance. HE CARES NOTHING ABOUT AMERICA OR ITS PEOPLE. Losing and dignified will decimate REPS constituents and he doesnt fucking care

Published in the billionaire's newspaper Billionaires are spending massive sums on politics. A backlash brews. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How to find him more despicable? Let me count the ways! (apologies to Eliz Barret Browning) 1) DJT suggests we “give up” pencils & dolls for OUR kids... but this is what his last kid was born into-

They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here

Warren: "The president says here's what he thinks should happen to CNN. If that doesn't make your hair stand up, I don't know what does. That's him saying, 'You've got to make a deal w/me. That might involve a $1m a dinner & buying crypto & getting rid of a pesky news outfit I don't like'"

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Common Power, my law firm has filed to intervene against DOJ’s lawsuit seeking to compel Washington to provide its complete voter registration lists. We are now defending voters in 10 states against DOJ scheme to access voter records. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

"I truthfully don't understand why we brought special operators into this to launch drone aircraft and destroy boats and kill people other than performative politics," Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) tells Tim Miller. "It doesn't make any sense." lnk.thebulwark.com/4rM6OSX?utm_...

Congress just gave $900 billion to the US military in case you were wondering if there were any repercussions for blowing up civilian ships on the high seas. Meanwhile, the FIFA peace participation trophy guy still manages to keep the Epstein list out of the headlines.

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

That's called a Dictatorship.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

They cannot be given authority to forcibly remove anyone from their vehicle this way. Think about how bad actors would abuse this power.

“And then they made him a fake trophy because he kept whining and moaning and wouldn’t STFU.”

AMERICA IS A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Some might say, hacking billboards is noble work. 😉

02 Dec Good morning to you 🌻 from the Southern Coast on

My prediction. The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

Witkoff in Moscow for talks as Putin claims to have taken key Ukrainian city

Amazing headline. h/t @brianstelter.bsky.social

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress. Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Agree or disagree?

Don't get my hopes up.

Does it really? I seriously doubt it.
