If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Tariffs welcomed in Ohio's industrial Trump country As economic uncertainty swirls and the markets take a hit, many in this deeply Republican area back the president's plan.

Trump supporters are ok with all this chaos. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Glad WI voters chose a judge with integrity. Glad my city ousted a corrupt incumbent mayor. I needed some good news.

The Dept of Ed has a new page to report DEI β€œproblems” at K-we schools. It’d be a shame if people made ridiculous claims like aliens running schools and the page gets bogged down and broken… #deptofed

So Trump wants access to Ukraine’s minerals and is bargaining with Zelensky. Trump is allied with Putin. There was a big Russian attack that killed several civilians. I have a feeling USA is now complicit in the war on Ukraine. #ukraine

Scoop: Dems "pissed" at liberal groups MoveOn, Indivisible "I reject and resent the implication that congressional Democrats are simply standing by passively."

That means it's working. Keep at it. ✊️

Our executive branch seems to be struggling with this concept so I’m posting this in case anyone needs a refresher. Of course, when one has seeded the Judicial branch with appointees, and the Legislative Branch is full of Yes Men, I can see why they are frustrated that there are still some outliers.

I would love the press to start misgendering public officials intentionally. However, I’m really sorry this is happening to you. It does suck.

New β€” The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Country music fans mad at Beyonce…. Do you realize it was mediocre white dudes that completely bastardized the genre? You cranked up Jason Aldean and now you’re a β€œpurist?” Sit down.

The news today has me feeling like I’m watching a football game where one team is breaking all the rules, intentionally hitting players in the head, and the refs are letting it happen. I’m cheering for the team that’s not able to even get a play off, let alone going.

I’m sending mine messages of encouragement to fight harder. I think what’s going to be hard is dems are going to keep trying to stop this mess using traditional legislative means when the actors are going way out of bounds.

Fed up? Angry? Do this: download a free app called "Call 5".

Pop in your zip code & then choose the issues that matter to you from a list.

The app then gives you YOUR SENATORS' & REPRESENTATIVES' NUMBERS & a script you can use. WHOOT!

So start calling those motherf*ckers. Use your voice.
