The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

There was a time when all Americans would recoil at a mom getting shot in the face by a law enforcement officer.

We've travelled so far from decency, it's heartbreaking.

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.

DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

The struggle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

AOC: Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century. He will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. Most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us .

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.
