When a rapist sticks up for other rapists it's called a professional courtesy.

I was told I shouldn’t be open about my mental health journey. But I've been grateful for the chance to connect with Vermonters going through it themselves.   It's those conversations that have inspired the legislation I've introduced in Congress to make a difference.

Poor Trump. He's trying to help us peons, but there's some vague "resistance" out here thwarting his noble efforts.

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Apparently, racist Republicans have been so successful with their "voucher" gimmick to move children from mixed-race public schools to white Christian for-profit schools that they can now turn their attention back to the resegregation of public schools. Glory!

Republicans' fear of fake socialism in the United States is bringing about real fascism in the United States. Mainly because they are too ignorant to know the difference.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Trump is banning news outlets the week before a court's deadline for Todd Blanche to release interview notes with underage girls Trump is alleged to have raped and threatened. He'd rather we talk about his censorship than his pedophilia.

The Trump admin has now ILLEGALLY deported over 170 people. That's 170 times they've broken the law &, in some cases, sent people back into harm's way.   The Constitution guarantees due process to ALL — Trump & Miller don't get to pick & choose. Everyone involved must be held accountable.
