Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who wonโ€™t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly whatโ€™s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

YouTube video by NewsNation Pete Hegseth won't commit to releasing video of second boat strike | Morning in America

Hegseth wonโ€™t release the footage. Trump wonโ€™t release the #Epsteinfiles . They are hiding their crimes & your family is letting them. This is a โ€œWEโ€ problem that โ€œWE, the Peopleโ€ can stop. Stop this criminal, Mob-mentality Govt.

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

There was a huge crowd at the Indiana Statehouse in opposition of redistricting. Let's see if the Senate listens to Hoosiers or to Washington.

Rand Paul: "It has not been the history of the US to kill people who are out of combat. Even if there is a war, which most of us dispute -- that a bunch of people who are unarmed allegedly running drugs is a war -- we still don't kill people when they're incapacitated ... it's illegal and immoral."

Ismael Ayala-Uribe came to the US at 4 yrs old & worked down the street from my parents house where he was detained in an immigration sweep. He died in ICE custody from lack of medical care.

This man died from being at the wrong place at the wrong time because of #IceLawlessness, cruelty & racism.

Pathetically incompetent, hair-flipping attorney Alina Habba didn't resign.

She was kicked to the curb by a judge who was OVER her appalling lack of qualifications.

The GOP enacted civil service reform.

The GOP will destroy civil service reform.

The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyrannyโ€”theyโ€™re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Start looking at republican policies and ask yourself - does this make it easier or harder for them to rape the group of interest
