5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Never Forget!

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary. And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Despicable!

To be clear: the American president doesn’t declare war, Congress does, and the fact that the administration left Congress completely out of the decision to invade Venezuela is a real problem. youtu.be/vxFTKlah9uE

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

The Trump administration has erased the history of slavery, the women’s suffrage movement, and the civil rights movement from new commemorative coins. They rejected bipartisan recommendations to feature Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges and instead will feature white men, including Trump.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Famed primatologist Jane Goodall gave an interview on Netflix's show "Famous Last Words" that would only be released after her death. Goodall shared some candid words about world leaders.

President Obama couldn’t create a healthcare program without full scale condemnation. President Biden couldn’t forgive student debt without calls for him to be prosecuted. The orange felon covers up child sex crimes and bombs other countries and republicans are pleased.

Pete Buttigieg: “It’s an old & obvious pattern. An unpopular president — failing on the economy & losing his grip on power at home — decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one”

If you don't know this fellow resister, you're missing out. And she does a NON POLITICAL music game that's a nice respite from *all of this*. Music is a big part of my life and I love the challenge and little escape Monica provides. Carry on. (my wayward son...)

Ok let’s keep playing this.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

🚨BREAKING: A pro-democracy organization has filed two formal complaints asking federal watchdogs to look into potential illegal actions and partisanship inside the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, an independent federal agency tasked with helping states administer elections.

It's a nice change of pace for once.

On the agenda: no healthcare for tens of millions of Americans but endless wars that surely will end up costing taxpayers trillions of dollars.

FDT!

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot. That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Crockett: The speaker, he loves to run when things get tough. That's not leadership. That's cowardice. And so that is what he's decided to do—we are supposed to be in till Friday. He has decided that our last day is going to be tomorrow…
