Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.

“Where’s James Talarico?” they screamed when he took 12 days off the campaign trail due to the flu. Yet they remained silent when Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) was absent for four months and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) missed more than three months.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Good morning. We have now crossed the rubicon. Hegseth needs to be impeached. Rep. Massie had the signatures. Mike Johnson vacated the House. Remember to vote 🗳️ November 3rd. Democracy is ON the ballot.
By announcing plans to live-stream an execution by firing squad, the Pentagon has crossed a severe moral boundary. This public display by the Trump regime reflects a pattern of using state-sanctioned violence as public entertainment and political intimidation, sending a chilling message to the public about state power.

San Diego is home to 110,000+ active-duty US military personnel, 60,000 military children and 200,000+ veterans and retirees. It’s also a major hub for the US Pacific Fleet. “Let them take out San Diego. This is a small price to pay.” Just think about what that actually means.
