A man for all time. Kennedy was my introduction into American government. I was 11 and living in Texas (not yet in Dallas) when he was assassinated. As I watched his demise and the funeral, I discovered a deep down desire to learn right from wrong... and good for all Americans
Woa. Republican Chuck Grassley just sided with Democrats to postpone Kash Patel’s nomination:
"The minority as well as myself has exercised their right to hold over the nomination of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI.”
BREAKING: Democratic superstar Governor J.B. Pritzker of Illinois brilliantly responds to Donald Trump's lawsuit against his state by exposing MAGA's ulterior motives and displaying exactly what real leadership looks like.
Rumblings of an eventual presidential run are already starting...
"It's a massive effort to distract from what they are doing across the country to take away things that working-class, middle-class people, families, the most vulnerable really need," Pritzker stated.
The lawsuit in question was filed by Trump's Department of Justice yesterday against the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois more broadly for allegedly interfering with federal immigration enforcement.
In reality, the city and state are rightfully opposing Trump's fascist mass deportation operations which have already resulted in the arrest of innocent American citizens.
"You know maybe as they come and try to attack the state of Illinois — and that's what they're doing — you know, the lawsuits are against laws on the books in Illinois," Pritzker continued.
"I mean unlike Donald Trump, we follow the law in Illinois," he went on. "Now, maybe they put up with this kind of garbage in Florida, which is the home state of the head of the DOJ, but in Illinois, we have grit. We are tough. We are strong. And Donald Trump has no idea what he's up against when he attacks Illinois."
"So we're here. We're going to stay here. We're going to keep fighting for lowering costs on people, on building up jobs, on holding back the tariffs, whatever we can do to make this a great state, we're going to continue to do," said the governor.
This is the bold resistance that we need from our Democratic governors right now. Pritzker is unafraid to go toe-to-toe with our cruel, ignorant president because he knows that the laws, public sentiment, and moral authority are on his side.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Governor Pritzker for standing up to Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "The water comes down from the northwest parts of Canada, I guess, but the Pacific Northwest. And it comes down by millions and millions of barrels a day and uh, I opened it up. It wasn't that easy to do. But I opened it up and it's pouring down."
Trump-appointed judge rules against Trump and Elon's attempt to fire thousands of USAID workers without cause.
The judge noted that Elon and the DOGE-bags have provided zero evidence of corruption or fraud at USAID.
I know some of you are fans of his, and we should all be for cutting wasteful spending.
This is not that. This is illegal. This is already costing lives.
The Doge Dipshits just sent that threatening "fork in the road" email to every federal judge in America. Yes, telling them to resign, even though they have lifetime tenure. I explain why this was an epic mistake that will impact every lawsuit vs. Trump and DOGE going forward:
Yesterday Trump unveiled his priorities for his tax bill.
Everyone needs to understand what's going on here. It's a massive tax giveaway to the rich and powerful, financed by deadly cuts to programs like Medicare and the ACA that help regular people.
I explain it here.
Boom. Ted Lieu with facts: “Trump ordered the release of 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland…this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching LA for a PR stunt.”
