President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

I’m thinking of Dr. Lorna Breen—an MD from Charlottesville who died by suicide while on the COVID frontlines—and her loved ones today on the 6th anniversary of her death. Proud to have worked with her family to pass a law that funds support for our healers’ mental health.

Donald Trump Lost In 2020. An Alarming Number Of His Nominees Won’t Say So.
Dozens of the president’s court picks have refused to say Joe Biden fairly won in 2020. Now his executive nominees are avoiding the question, too.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup. Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires. It's a disgrace.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow. Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance. Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."
