I’m a paratrooper. I’m used to being behind enemy lines.

To lead in this moment requires us to be bold & unafraid.

Donald Trump can threaten to arrest & execute me, but he'll never intimidate me.

A child who was sexually abused was told by church leaders to forgive her abuser and then forget it. If she spoke of it again, she would be guilty of having an unforgiving heart and the sins would become hers.

Voting patterns in the 2024 election Voting patterns among many demographic groups in 2024 were similar to those in 2020 and 2016, but Trump made gains among several key groups, a Pew Research Center analysis shows.

It’s encouraging that Pope Leo has denounced Trump’s campaign of terror against immigrants. But 55% of Catholics voted for Trump in 2024, and 81% of white evangelicals did. Voters who attend religious services at least once a month backed Trump nearly 2-to-1. 🧵 2/

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

NEW: We released a report exposing how death penalty cases are often plagued with errors and misconduct that lead to wrongful convictions.

Black defendants are more likely to be sentenced to death for a crime they didn’t commit because of the systemic racism baked into the death penalty.

Senator Warren is so right about this.

Why are we not holding both parties' feet to the fire for continuing this corrosive corruption - a crime to everyone but them?

Dems also wallow in this sty and there is no excuse.

The Epstein files bill that passed today in both the House and Senate grants AG Pam Bondi the authority to “withhold or redact…any material that…would jeopardize an active investigation or national security.”

U.S. District Courts and many fighting lawyers on bsky believe we do have a Constitutions worth defending, and they're fighting to enforce it.

A whole lot of us here have taken oaths to defend it, and we're not going anywhere. We will have a Constitution up to the moment we stop believing in it.

The Trump administration is going to make it harder for the public to learn about wrongdoing by withdrawing protections for whistleblowers.

Hosting a man who (per the CIA) ordered the murder of a journalist, Trump berates a journalist who dares to "embarrass our guest" by asking about it and later threatens to take away her network's license for asking about Epstein files.

The President doesn’t really want the Epstein files to be released. He just reversed his position because Republicans were getting their asses kicked.

If Trump wanted to, he could order the release of the files right now.

Trump dismisses criticism of' Saudi crown prince over 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, says 'things happen'

Jamal Khashoggi was a WaPo columnist when he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul at the direction of the Saudi government. The entire world condemned it, except Trump. This wasn’t “things happen.” It was a state-sanctioned assassination for exercising free speech.

Q: “Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?”

Trump: “It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter…You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter…What the Epstein is, is a Democrat hoax.”

Trump HIV prevention plan shuts out South Africa — the nation most affected Administration officials say South Africa has “significant means” to fund a promising new drug, lenacapavir, on its own. Critics call the move self-defeating.

The Trump administration will provide a HIV-prevention drug to countries most affected by the disease in a push to end the spread of the virus that causes AIDS, but won't provide it to South Africa, which has the world’s largest HIV-positive population.
