History's what people are trying to hide from you, not what they're trying to show you.

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

#RepublicanDidThat

Do not let Republicans hide behind acronyms. Republicans are responsible.

All of them, for all of this.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Remember all those times Trump & Vance said they wouldn’t drag America into another war? They LIED.

Their actions today put American lives at risk, undermine our broader interests around the world, & will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.

It’s not supporting the troops to send them off to kill and die in an illegal war of aggression whose purpose is to make sure that their votes don’t count.

Any WWII historians of UK internment camps out there? I have 4 letters written to my mother by a Mrs Emmerich, a German (probably) cook who worked for her family before the war. They are so gorgeous, & so heartbreaking, & might be of interest to historians? @waitmanwbeorn.com ?

Pathetic: Maryland Democrats Have Surrendered on Gerrymandering Maryland could easily have added one Democratic House district, but the state Senate presidentβ€”a Democratβ€”wouldn’t let it happen.

Maryland Senate Democrats not only won’t redraw their state’s House districts, they won’t even hold a vote on the idea. Spineless. Pathetic. trib.al/nqdAv60

No one who is at all concerned with the national security of the United States can possibly support Trump. This is simply a hideous betrayal of the country and its future in exchange for a bribe.

Worth remembering that, among his many other evils, Newsom's fortune and businesses were extensively bankrolled by Gordon Getty β€” his father was an attorney and fixer for Getty Oil β€” and that his first major move in politics was cutting aid to homeless people.

The gentry, y'all.
