If you live in a Blue State, Donald Trump just put a gun to your head.
He's withholding cash to stop terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, and mass shootings from states that say "no" to his voting rules.
If the fight to protect democracy wasn’t “personal” for you, it is now.
Because of the Big, Beautiful Bill: A family making $50K will get less than $2 a day from this bill's tax cuts—while a household in the top 0.1% will receive more than $300K
This is legalized theft from working people to reward the ultra-rich.
We must not forget that.
Democrats - knock off the stupid ideological food fight. Find someone who can speak articulately about housing and gas costs, corruption, doesn't have a Nazi tattoo, and isn't over 80. It's not that hard.
Ken Burns, my favorite documentary filmmaker, has spent 50 years telling the American story, including of the Revolution itself. Nobody alive has looked harder at who we are and how we got here.
So when he warns us, we should listen.
Burns said the founders would not be surprised by a president’s reach for authoritarian power. But what would leave them completely disappointed is how poorly Republicans in Congress have responded.
Article I, the branch the founders built first and strongest to be the bulwark against exactly this, has abdicated its power and handed it to the executive.
The executive was supposed to carry out the will of the people’s representatives, not rule over them. Right now a Republican majority is choosing to surrender that authority to Donald Trump rather than do the job the Constitution gave them.
I took an oath to the Constitution, not to a party or a a president.
The whole point of this new thing the founders created in 1776, was that we do not suffer under authoritarian rule quietly.
We must keep fighting to make Congress do its job.

I am more and more convinced that - even though Trump's piss-poor polling to date is largely economically related (gas prices and kitchen table issues), and the consequences of a botched war of choice, THE thing that WILL bring him down, that even MAGA is beginning to see and deplore, that he is overreaching on beyond belief, like nobody's ever seen before, is CORRUPTION.
It's rampant, it's contagious, and it's infecting everything - now, even the World Cup.
