Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

First they came for Rosie O'Donnell,

Because I thought it was a headline from The Onion.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Leader Schumer Statement On U.S. Strikes On Iran

New York, N.Y. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after President Trump announced that the United States struck targets in Iran:

"President Trump must provide the American people and Congress clear answers on the actions taken tonight and their implications for the safety of Americans. No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy. Confronting Iran's ruthless campaign of terror, nuclear ambitions, and regional aggression demands strength, resolve, and strategic clarity. The danger of wider, longer, and more devastating war has now dramatically increased.

"We must enforce the War Powers Act and I'm urging Leader Thune to put it on the Senate floor immediately. I am voting for it and implore all Senators on both sides of the aisle to vote for it."

Senate Minority Leader Schumer is urging all senators to support Sen. Kaineโ€™s war powers resolution, which would prohibit Trump from dragging us further into war. We need diplomacy with Iran, not another forever-war. Make sure your senators hear from you ASAP: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

When the KKK Murdered My Childhood Friend | Robert Reich

61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me. https://youtu.be/u-kv3wdqqNo?si=Zc3Uh-CJOcODt-RW

Weโ€™ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably wonโ€™t share intel with us. Because people couldnโ€™t vote for a woman.

Iโ€™ve been in politics for over a half-century. Iโ€™ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but hereโ€™s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he canโ€™t handle an alleged โ€œtouchโ€ without snapping.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.
