Our campaign is within striking distance of victory. No matter what the establishment says, the choice is yours. Do you want six more years of a do-nothing Democrat? Or do you want someone who will fight to pass Medicare for All, universal child and eldercare, and abolish ICE? julieforcolorado.com

If you’re a journalist or lawmaker still planning to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner after WHCA cancelled Amber Ruffin to placate a petty tyrant, you need to dig deep and ask yourself why you’re really still going because it sure as hell isn’t to celebrate the First Amendment.

Retaliating against lawyers for challenging govt action is taking a sledgehammer to the rule of law. Lawyers need to stand up loudly in protest even if they face personal risk. It’s our duty to all those clients who have entrusted us with the honor of practicing law in the first place

One of the NYPD brass said “this isn’t blue bloods” when explaining they can’t just immediately find the guy and I like that years of copaganda have set standards cops can’t meet and might be contributing to people’s correct perception that cops don’t effectively stop crime or find killers.

We can post all we want about what the Democratic Party should do, but none of that has anywhere near as much influence as a memo counseling the sidelining of ‘core party activists’ written by a big donor.
