I write books. Some people read them. I think “We the people…” means more than rich white guys. Shy about DMs.

Omg, no. This amazing and adorable sweetness is why I can't "just look at kittens" in the pet stores. I'm a pushover for these babies. 😍

Share if you think that Donald Trump should immediately reinstate Kamala Harris’s Secret Service detail

Trump is making thousands of rule-abiding immigrants undocumented Inside the largest delegalization campaign in modern US history.

“You enter legally, and suddenly, because of someone else’s whim, you’re illegal. It doesn’t make sense.”

I wrote about the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan TPS holders losing legal status overnight as a result of the Trump administration's mass deportation push.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad

Rep. Andy Ogles -- who apparently lied about his undergrad major, his fake graduate degrees, his past careers variously as an economist, a cop, and an expert in international sex crimes and so much more -- says that if another politician "fudged" about his own past then he should be deported.

If we had dumb presidents then, we have a brain damaged one now.

Remember when Trump promised that on day one grocery and gas prices would be lower, the war in Ukraine would be over, and there would be peace in the Middle East? LMFAO.

I’d like to argue, but you’re right. Too many of my neighbors vote GOP to own the libs.

Killing 300,000 children seems very non pro-life to me. Maybe the pro-lifers need to admit they’re more pro-birth because that whole life thing doesn’t seem to be their priority.

That’s so scary, but yeah. When I stopped by my primary care doc for chest pains, he said ambulance. I said naw, I drove here. It’s not that far. 🙄 Hugs to you. ❤️

The idea you can replace income tax with tariffs is like saying you can replace the gas in your car with windshield fluid.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Trump's VA is ending a rescue program that's saved 17,000 military veterans' homes The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will end a mortgage rescue plan that has saved many veterans from needlessly losing their homes, the move could strand thousands of others who need help.

Republicans have completely abandoned veterans.
Total abandonment.
Do not let them ever claim to be patriots again.

There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’ | Mehdi Hasan It is a factually inaccurate and totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ and are ‘criminals’

“There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’”

My myth-busting piece for The Guardian today arguing that it is factually inaccurate & totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ & are automatically ‘criminals’.

I bring receipts:

Just a reminder that even while being Putin’s petulant stooge and shaming our country Trump is also inevitably a liar.

Poor Zelenskyy. What that man has to endure for his people. He’s such a hero.
