House Democrats are in the fight to bring government back from the brink of authoritarianism. We will shine a light on President Trump's quid pro quo, coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption and renew American government as an instrument for the common good.

Can’t deal with politics right now, so went to the Sugar show in Atlanta. I dare anyone to come up with a more powerful three-song debut album Side 1 than “The Act We Act,” “A Good Idea,” “Changes,” “Helpless” and “Hoover Dam.” They opened the set Friday with the first three. Enjoy!

The first federal hate crimes law was passed in 1968, protecting people targeted for who they are and what they believe. More than 50 years later, hate crimes laws have expanded dramatically. #HateCrimesAwarenessMonth #HCAM26

This is awesome. If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.
Let's create some hyperbolic context: - Roosevelt has an investment in Jagermeister, so he keeps trade open with Germany, supplying Hitler's war machine while Europe is still occupied. - He also hates blood sausages, so he stops the Lend-Lease program with Great Britain. Would that be treasonous?
Elon Musk has just shown why Trump and the US are now the enemy within
Trump’s moves against Ukraine – including a diesel deal with Putin and a row over restricting Starlink – mean he must now be seen as a hostile force in Europe, explains world affairs editor Sam Kiley

Just thinking there is probably an easy answer to Katie Zacariah's qualifications as a lawyer. I mean, I could claim to be an ordained minister. I just don't. But if I wanted to, I have that certificate from The Church of the Latter-Day Dude to verify my credentials. If I can find it.

Hate-fueled violence is far-reaching, and it can leave individuals and entire communities feeling terrorized, isolated and vulnerable. #HateCrimesAwarenessMonth is our chance to take action to prevent hate-fueled violence and help steer young people away from violence and extremism.
I love both steps. Let’s do this shit.
Will someone, anyone, please stop these stupid, stupid people? They’re killing trees in D.C. They’re destroying historic landmarks. Instead, we’re getting crappy wading pools, whorehouse-level decor and a huge bill for the “improvements.”

It survived every civilization on 2 continents. In April a border wall contractor scraped a 50-foot path through it. CBP: "inadvertently disturbed."
