We cannot move on from Trump’s threats to our elections. He laid it out in primetime last week: any election result he doesn’t like he will just call stolen. We must continue to speak up for our democracy.

GALLEGO: Would you say as a former auditor you pride yourself on catching waste? DENNIS: Yes G: Let's do a test. Is $600m on a ballroom, half paid by taxpayers, is a good fiscal decision? D: Oh, I'm not going to get involved in what the WH is doing G: As HUD CFO, this is literally the job

AOC: I believe in guaranteeing health care to every American. I believe in raising the minimum wage. I believe in strong unions. And so, yeah, if a Republican wants to call a stronger union communist, they’re more than welcome to do that. I’m not going to be deterred.

A big reason for Democrats to promise prison time for Republicans in power and the use of the state to undermine the Republican Party as an organization is because our former allies need to believe that someday soon, America will cease to be like this.

The Supreme Court just handed DHS more power over immigrant lives. Some people call that “security.” Others call it “government with no empathy.” Guess where I stand. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ruling is huge blow for residents with temporary protected status, many of whom have resided here legally for decades

If we must (for now) have these data centers around, why don't they cover the roofs with solar panels, to allay some of the energy use within? Lot of these things are in hot sunny places like AZ too.
