Hi! Just another angry, scared American wanting to help rebuild a democracy where all can flourish. I like little colorful frogs too.

Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken? Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

Everytime I hear “no political retribution” I think of our country blowing up fishing vessels in the Caribbean and then going back to kill the survivors. Until now, the republicans have owned that unspeakably evil behavior. If the democrats do nothing about it, they are collaborators.
⚠️ Republicans are taking the first step in a likely bid to throw out votes in Mississippi’s extremely close U.S. Senate race. A victory for Democrat Scott Colom would represent a significant upset in the state’s Republican-dominated politics: https://demdock.com/4iExTDY
Heather Cox Richardson has a good video on YouTube that explains a lot about what the best qualifications are for these leadership roles. It's new as of a couple of hours ago. There's a lot more to it than I realized. (I have been driven ape shit by Schumer's choices, too, just FYI.)
Hell no. ABOLISH ICE. COMPLETELY DEFUND IT. FIRE AND INVESTIGATE LITERALLY EVERYONE WHO WORKED FOR IT. MELT DOWN ITS WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT. GIVE EVERYONE IT PROSECUTED AMNESTY AND CITIZENSHIP, SHOULD THEY WANT IT.
House Judiciary Dems@democrats-judiciary.house.gov · 3d agoIt’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.
ProPublica has been tracking the detention of U.S. citizens. So far, we’ve tallied 519 cases and counting:
More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica
The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

Hoo boy. Despite a court order prohibiting any work -- without court notification - at the site of Trump's Monumental Arch..... the Administration acknowledges there's been some work.
Dear @vanhollen.senate.gov, Can we please get Air Force Major Jason Watson out of solitary now? I remember when you helped Kilmar.
If at times these last two years, amidst the ceaseless onslaught of brutality and indecency, you doubted whether our Republic would survive, let yesterday’s results give you courage that the first light of dawn is on the horizon.
NEWS: Former top FBI official Douglas DePodesta has filed a bombshell lawsuit against Kash Patel, the DOJ, and other Trump officials, alleging he was forced out after refusing to go along with politically motivated prosecutions of Chicago protesters perceived as Trump’s political enemies.

James Talarico: Capitalism was an innovation — the revolutionary idea that you should be compensated for your time and work. That's not what we have today. We don't have capitalism. We have crony capitalism, where the gains go to those who can afford to buy access and politicians for control.
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for fraud. He enriched himself by $27 million in public office. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Tomorrow, we will stop him.
James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
Raskin: We now have the first-person accounts of five different women saying that they were sexually assaulted by Trump. And then we have another six women, for a total of 11, who link him to the whole network of sex trafficking of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
