There's a lot we have not visualized in a useful way. One of the big ones is the SHIFT in govt employment from "people who cure cancer" and "people who make sure your Social Security comes on time" and "people who care for veterans" to "people who kidnap your neighbors."

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

I joined Representative Cleaver in Missouri to stand against Republican efforts to undermine democracy by splitting Kansas City into 3 districts. This is opposed by everyone from unions to the Kansas City chamber of commerce. We will fight back in court, in Congress and alongside our constituents.

Trump is using US taxpayer $$ to fund a private mercenary group that's led to hundreds of starving people being shot dead—all part of a sick scheme to drive Palestinians out of Gaza. Instead of ending the war & freeing the hostages, Trump gave Netanyahu a blank check. Shameful.
