I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Fuck that "no sitting President can be asked to testify" bullshit.

Countdown to Putin brazenly declaring that the US should respect the sovereign integrity of other states and not launch attacks whilst talks are progressing.

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Trump could start a ground war - and institute the draft - and Congress would do nothing.

Dems would continue to say "wait till the midterms".

Kansas Revokes IDs for 1,000+ Transgender Residents Under New State Law More than 1,000 transgender Kansas residents have had their driver's licenses and birth certificates invalidated under a new state law that took effect Thursday. The legislation requires gender marker...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

The only real question of the evening is: will legacy news orgs call Trump out for this insanely corrosive stuff or will they get in front of camera & pretend that this deeply unwell, deteriorating man talking about how Dems are the enemy of the country is just run of the mill political discourse

The US Womens Hockey Team showed far more principle and commitment to our American values and decency than the Mens Hockey Team. Brava to the women who stood tall in courage and strength and compassion.

Two incontrovertible facts...

1) Trump always lies
2) Your pocketbook always tells the truth.

Like rump, his enablers and followers are unafraid to say the β€œquiet part” out loud. The laws and Constitution mean nothing to them, rather their loyalty is to what is good for themselves and their β€œleader”.

The US President is a traitor to the nation.

Donald Trump has done pretty much everything in his power to do what Putin wants. He has made America even more vulnerable to FSB spying and influence. Why do this? He only cares about making Putin happy for his own personal gain.
