Agree. Dems don't need to be Republican lite. Progressive policies are what the majority want - a living wage, health care for all, tax the rich, remove wage cap on SS, housing and child care assistance. Dems were wrong to eject David Hogg who is embracing progressive candidates. Support Mamdani.
Can Governor Pritzker call up IL National Guard before the Feds do? Then they take orders from Governor? Then blue state governors send their National Guard to assist Illinois National Guard?
We live amongst some really evil, screwed up people.
What Mother in her right mind, would not care if an adult man touched her kids? That's a sickness. All Mamas should protect their kids, full stop.
I know I am stating the obvious but I need to say it. Velveeta Voldemort is one sick f**k.
And black women are the most educated part of the population.
Every white person on that bus should have stood up and walked to the back of bus. Or called the police. Fellow white people, it's on us to stop this.
Checking on you Ben. Hope you are okay.
Because her district is majority white. I live just south of it
Is this the Onion? Satire? If not, who gives a F**k about something this trivial. Our Democracy is going down in flames and finally someone is standing up for working people and giving us hope.
I say this with complete disgust and loathing - F*** you and your false God. You would send Christ to Alligator Auschwitz.
Support the progressives in the party, they are the path forward. Forget centrist politics. Working people want real change. Medicare for all, free education, decent minimum wage. Tax the rich, we are tired of making them obscene amounts of wealth at our expense.
Good trouble, necessary trouble
We are all Minnesota. Love from Georgia
Thank you Senator Van Hollen for standing up to this fascist regime.
Another Boomer here and I agree. Lots of unrest and violence, but significant changes were a result. I have hope.
It's offensive to watch leaders with intelligence and integrity questioned by ignorant, hateful morons
As a longtime Delta skymiles member, I just wrote and asked them why they sold my data.
Is the entire administration incompetent?
Why not release them back to their home countries. Plane tickets would be a lot cheaper.
Ben, you uplift others around the world with your authenticity and your bravery. Bravo Ben.
Great leaders and good men.
Sounds like this will be the next lawsuit against this mobster administration.
Live in the suburbs of Atlanta. MTG cannot win a state wide seat in Georgia. She is not well liked outside of her district.
I live just south of her district and do not believe she can win a state wide race. She is not well liked outside of her district
I live just south of MTG's district. It is economically depressed and racist with some Bible thumpers. She will not win Senate seat or Governors race.
Velveeta Voldemort
Ok God, please smite this heathen. We are trying but could use a little help.
Just saw Jon Stewart interview Andy Bashear and am impressed. He is not the most dynamic speaker but he is authentic and focused on results for his state. Reminds me a bit of Jimmy Carter.
How much of his Bitcoin did they buy?
Why are so many rich people soulless?
It is irrelevant what they voted for, illegal is still illegal. Their logic is so twisted, it hurts the brain
Velveeta Voldemort
I still have dreams of what could have been. It's the fuel for the fight today. We deserve better and will win this fight against evil.
Got an email from Ken Martin asking for $$. I responded that no $$ until they get old guard out (Schumer et al) and allow David Hogg and others to challenge status quo. The party is dying and the young people are trying to save it.
That's a terrible way to live, sorry you are going through that. This cult is causing so much suffering.
Really good photographs Ben. You have an eye for photography.
Agreed. Perhaps a distraction from low poll numbers and tariff catastrophe?
Thank you for fighting the lawless behavior of the current administration. Due process is vital for our democracy.
Congratulations, well deserved award. You inspire so many to keep fighting.
The Vatican could invite Obama and Biden but not FOTUS.
Isaiah Martin, you give us hope. We need your energy and voice for the future.
Bondi's brother is running for president of DC bar association. Not sure if Pam Bondi is licensed in DC. She is licensed in Florida
Canada has been the best friend and neighbor that we probably didn't deserve. Every disaster, Canada was always there first - 9/11, power crews, fire fighters. It's so awful that you are being treated so badly by our government. We the people still respect and love our neighbor.
Jail probably has no meeting space.
Jack Smith would be a good candidate
I knew what "person" meant before I went to law school and he does too.
Racism is strong in her district and education is not.
She should lay off the Botox too, she's getting that scary Mar a Lago witch look
I am in East Cobb and have had my district changed 3 times in last 4 or 5 years.
I don't think people dislike churches. They dislike churches or religion forced on them. We have atheists, Jewish, Muslim, buddists, hindus. Everyone should be free to believe as they wish. The tendency of Christians to try to force others to believe as they do causes resentment.
And be subject to discipline from the Florida Bar for ignoring a court order
He should volunteer to test his hypothesis.
Anyone can file a bar complaint.
Well done Ben. You inspired me to get out for a nice walk this evening. Thank you Ben. Love and light to you.
I live just south of her district. It is very racist.
Agreed. They need to sell now.
That is incorrect. An earlier case, 2019 I think was where gang affiliation was alleged by ICE and found to be wrong. In this case, government admitted in court, they screwed up, he should not have been deported. That government lawyer has now been fired.
They are wrong but that is what Fox news and White House are spewing. In this case, before it went to S. Court, government admitted they screwed up and he should not have been deported. Now they are lying about what their lawyer admitted in court. These are some manacial liars.
These documents are for the bond hearing. My understanding is that the gang affiliation was proven to be false at a subsequent hearing. In fact the final order said that he was not to be deported to El Salvador.
But strong enough to invade Canada, Greenland and Panama?
I am in the district just south of Moscow Marge. It is mostly rural and economically depressed, very MAGA, very racist. In my opinion, they need a couple of months for the economic hardships to hit. Lots of folks with Medicaid, snap benefits who shop at American Temu (Walmart)
So we have DEI again?
Lawyer here and you are 1000% correct. So do you continue to teach constitutional law or just drop as irrelevant? Law exam question - President defies order of Supreme Court, discuss remedies.
Sadly I agree as a old white woman in the south. But my heart really wants an AOC/Jasmine ticket.
Thank you for stepping up Isaiah Martin. You embody the hope and courage we need in our leaders.
Yes. Atlanta will show up.
Lock Pam Bondi up.
A little dreaming is nice. The Resistance can also have a vision of a better society. Reminds us of what we are fighting for
I don't understand any of it. Is it fear of everything not like themselves? Scapegoats to distract from their own misery? Have any of these bigots even met a trans person?
Astounding derriere kissing, all trying to outdo each other in praising FOTUS. They have created their own reality.
Modernized with RICO to combat organized crime.
Bill Maher has become irrelevant.
They regulate our uterus so why not disenfranchise us too. When do we have to start wearing the red robe and white bonnet?
So what if they did? If you dumb asses in Texas vaccinated your kids, there wouldn't be an outbreak and dead children.
Well done, that moved me.
Has Abbott set a date for your election? Yes, I am manifesting you in Congress. We desperately need your humanity and fighting spirit.
The Clown Cabal doesn't understand big words like effectuate.
So sorry you aren't my representative anymore. After all the Republican gerrymandering, I am now "represented" by Barry Loudermilk. Proud of your strength and resilience. You are a true warrior for the people. Thank you.
Lawyers with a spine, also want to keep their law license.
Venezuela intercept a signal chat?
I have seen the billboards in northern suburbs of Atlanta. They have been spotted in other areas of Georgia
Are ICE agents trained by the Kremlin?
Gorgeous queen 👑
We got experience when we were young in the 60's and 70's. The buzzards are threatening our SS checks. We are angry
Yezzz. You are the energy we need. Thank you for stepping in to fight and save our democracy
We are so sorry. Velveeta Voldemort's attacks are reprehensible. Canada has been our staunchest ally and best friend. We are mourning a lot, but Canada hurts most of all.
Quite sure FOTUS is collecting a healthy sum for these pardons.
From a Georgia native, I felt John Lewis spirit today. I know he is very proud of you. You have ignited our weary spirits. Thank you Senator Corey Booker and to the ancestors who were with you today
Ancestors are with Senator Booker today. Good trouble, necessary trouble indeed.
Not sure what a security clearance means after Whiskileaks.
I am in the district just south of MTG. It is mostly an economically depressed area. Also an area with lots of racist people.
Please repost so that everyone will see. Her husband is in Yemen 🇾🇪 #NAFO can you lend a hand?
And the best part is, Coach really cares. A man of the people for the people. Rare today.
Another whiny rant from the toddler in Chief.
Surprised any Canadians are coming to US. It's not safe.
First amendment rights for me, but not for thee.
That's a lot of lying even for Bullshit Barbie
They won't voluntarily fire/resign. Will require Congressional action
Boom- that's the energy we need.
