Forget about the treasonous 8 and support blue state financial control over federal tax revenue. Then, withhold funds until the unconstitutional spending stops.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Tonight Democrats proved that old quip.

If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1, and then wish for something they think Republicans will like.

We need a true opposition party now more than ever. Because this aint it.

On Jan 6, MAGA insurrectionists smeared feces on the halls of Congress.

Today, the MAGA cult leader Donald Trump posted an AI generated video of him smearing feces on peaceful protestors.

Trump is not an aberration of modern day conservatism—he’s a manifestation of it.

As I been a staunch opponent of capital punishment, I could never approve of the killing of someone like Charlie Kirk, just as I could not for a murderer. Ethical beliefs have to be consistent for me. Whether by assassination or state sanctioned murder, his lack of character is beside the point.
