Donald Trump incited a violent coup to overthrow the 2020 election and hold onto power. It will never be ok that he was not held accountable, including banning him from ever again holding public office.

It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.

I keep wondering why no Daniel Ellsberg type whistleblower has come forward to leak the Epstein files. Someone has access to them. Then I realized most of the mainstream press is not on our side or the side of democracy. Who would report it? Back in the 60s and 70s the press existed as a watchdog.

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
