Any Senate Democrats who vote to cave are feckless, weak-willed and gullible โ€” or even worse. The American people want you to hold the line and keep on fighting.

DO NOT FOLD!!!

We really need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential pardon power even if it is only possible to pass it after Trumpโ€™s term. The founders obviously never envisioned any president using it this brazenly and corruptly while remaining impervious to impeachment.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These arenโ€™t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?.  She's smiling with every cell in her body.  Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time.  Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display.  Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

โ€”Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
โ€”More guns don't make us safer
โ€”A majority of Americans want gun reform

We don't have to live like this.

Hey Republicans, It's the Damn Guns. And, It's You. Dear Republicans,

Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns.

You can deny it, but that's simply the truth.

And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too.

We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in Americaโ€”and youโ€™re it.

What the actual hell?! A close Trump advisor and MAGA figure just posted, โ€œAlligator lives matter. The good news is alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals if we get started now.โ€ This is disgusting, itโ€™s genocidal language. Dehumanizing, dangerous, and unacceptable. How is this even real life?
