Janeese Lewis George, a self-described democratic socialist, could become the next mayor of D.C. Now, Trump is threatening to take over the nation’s capital if she wins, an assault on the Home Rule Act of 1973 and a grave threat to the democratic process. bit.ly/4ejAz7D

Orban copied Trump. Trump copied Orban. And in the end, the people of Hungary chose democracy and the rule of law. As will happen here too. But only if we do our work, like they did.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
