I have been saying this for almost a year and it is long past due for Dems to adopt this framing for 2 reasons: 1) it is entirely and demonstrably true. 2) the public must be prepared for the enormity of what will be required to dismantle the criminal organization and create a better democracy.

We should have already Impeached Trump and removed Hegseth for their brutal misuse of our troops, in their reckless war of choice. Now they are leaving more allies behind in South Korea?

Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

Trump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."

One insurance denial for Teressa’s husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.” “This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’” (Published Sept. 2025)

ICE agents shot and killed an unarmed civilian in Houston, Texas. The victim was a construction worker, a father of three US citizens, had lived in the US for 35 years and was applying for a work permit. He panicked and tried to flee when he mistook masked, armed ICE agents for thieves.

Can't recall a recent video that better captures Trump's essence. Misogynist goon sweatily belches out egregious lies to a woman reporter, insults and berates her when she asks for evidence, then storms off in anger, all while his spray-tan slowly slides down his face.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Oh look it’s NBC equivocating Trump’s clearly illegal troop action like it’s a debate about sports. Gutless #NBC. You helped elect him in 2016. Shame on you.

Warren: "Knock 15 million people off their coverage, drive up the cost for everyone else, close rural hospitals -- that's the Republican plan, because you know what the real heart of it was? They gave away a trillion dollars to the billionaires. That was the part that matters to them."

What would the reaction be if Democratic politicians went on TV every week to talk about how scary and dangerous Louisiana was, or how bleak and depressing life in rural Mississippi is, or how Oklahoma ranks last in education and “God, can you imagine being from there?”

3 months ago, Senator Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their golden retriever were shot and killed in their home in a politically motivated attack by a conservative Christian disguised as a police officer. Not only was Trump golfing during her services, he doesn't even recognize her name.

Trump's dictator moves like calling in the national guard or ballooning the ice budget are designed to enrage you, but also to desensitize you to his authoritarian behavior. As Rick Wilson says, we can't let that happen:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is an engine of better health and economic development. Congress knows that, economists know that, and Bay Staters know that. Any attempts to cut the NIH must be stopped cold.
