I don't say this lightly, but Pete Hegseth deserves to be impeached. I understand just how serious a vote to impeach is from experience, and I still believe impeaching him is the right thing to do. The Iran war. The purge of senior ranks. The boat strikes. The case is overwhelming. (Link below)

Shoot this into my veins! What struck me as a Michigander, is that MAGA is going after Talarico in the same way they're attacking Abdul El Sayed. These 2 Democrats differ in faith, zip, and ethnicity, but their message and motives are the same: Government must work for The People again! 💙

A photographer in the Chatsworth Nature Preserve in Los Angeles captured a real-life image of something you would never see in cartoons: a coyote who successfully nabbed a road runner, instead of falling from a cliff, getting hit by a train or having an anvil land on him.

Trump spent years telling Americans 2020 was stolen. Last night, he used the presidency to revive that claim—again without evidence. This isn't about relitigating the past. It's about preparing people to reject the next election if he doesn't like the result: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
