Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

This is shocking. Trump refuses to care for soldiers injured in a war he started because he doesn’t want to look bad. The soldiers don’t matter to Trump at all.

Deporting people to unsafe countries that they’ve never been to and have no connection to is inhumane and unjustifiable. Incredibly disappointed to see the Supreme Court allow this to continue until they hear oral arguments. This policy is illegal and must be stopped.

The underlying theory Senate Republicans are going with is that Joe Biden secretly ordered DOJ to investigate Trump, something they have produced no evidence to support and also they're all fine with Trump publicly ordering DOJ to investigate his enemies.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.
