Democrats on the Judiciary Committee keep decrying nominees as unqualified extremists. They also keep voting to turn those nominees into life-tenured federal judges.

Police donβt wear masks. State troopers donβt wear masks. The National Guard doesnβt wear masks. But you know who does?
White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.
βDonβt be fooled by those in Epsteinβs circle who say they didnβt know what he was doing. Epstein β¦ took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch β scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didnβt care.β

ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly, which is why it can get away with awful service, charging exorbitant prices, and tacking on fees as high as 75% of the ticket.
Biden sued to break it up.
But after intense lobbying from MAGA world lawyers, Trump's regime seems set to cut a sweetheart deal.
No thrones. No crowns. No kings.
No negotiation. No surrender. No fear.

Young people are asking: WHY? Does our future not matter??
The simple truth is that adults are sacrificing the future of young people and future generations for the sake of money, oil, power & greed
We are failing our kids, grandkids and their unborn kids
Today, we taught med students about climate change
I had to begin by telling them how the richest country in the world & biggest contributor to climate change is now in complete climate change denial
And how this administration is actively bullying other countries to also give up on climate action
This is evil.
