On November 3rd, we were given a very specific, monumental mandate—and we must not squander the power given us. Let's be very clear: there is a world of difference between cheap, vindictive retribution and actual justice, which means exercising our full authority to ensure those responsible answer for their actions ​Lately, too many people are insisting we should just "leave it alone" and move on. ​Why can’t we do both? Why can’t we hold the guilty fully accountable while working to repair everything that was taken from us? Why can't we ensure, for example, that the victims of Epstein, Maxwell, and their cohort are finally treated as the survivors of rape and systemic torture, rather than being publicly doxxed by a corrupt Department of Justice? These individuals are victims of deliberate document alteration and destruction at best, and of unspeakable, recreational cruelty at worst. ​If we choose inaction, the message we send is immediate and absolute: we remain willing targets for every suit with a slick lie. Holding power accountable isn't a distraction from rebuilding—it is the prerequisite. If we don’t demand justice now, we aren't choosing peace; we're just signing off on the next betrayal.

An appreciative open note congratulating ALL of our Dem winners, up and down the ballot! This result made it VERY CLEAR that most of America--including large numbers of Repubs voting blue for the first time in their lives--finally raised our voices to let MAGA hear that NOBODY with a soul was buying the bullshit the grandstanding the endless lies the astonishing grift the stupidity and on, and on, and on ANYMORE

**REVISED due to new confirmations that Texas, Iowa and Maine flips have officially given us control of the Senate!! THANK YOU TEXAS!!!! ​This is a monumental win for ALL Texans who wondered if anyone was listening to them. ​In spite of the despicable smear campaign launched by Ken Paxton—which cost an incredible amount of money—Senator-Elect James Talarico has prevailed DECISIVELY. ​Greg Abbott having CONCEDED to Gina Hinojosa proves that we are seeing a historical reawakening. For the first time since the great Ann Richards won in 1990, the people's will pervades—ending a reign of biased, hateful partisanship and shattering history by electing Texas's first Latina governor. ​The U.S. House of Representatives has officially been declared back into the hands of those who fought for what's RIGHT—and with key pickups across Maine, Iowa, and Texas, **WE HAVE OFFICIALLY TAKEN BACK THE U.S. SENATE!** ​You showed us what’s possible. Texas spoke, the nation listened, and tonight, truth won.

Let’s stop calling this 3-ring totalitarian triumvirate a "peace deal", shall we? ​You can’t negotiate peace for a country when you don’t even let them in the room. What’s happening right now is a backroom mugging where Washington, Moscow, and Beijing sit at a table carving up Ukraine without a single Ukrainian in the room—all while our leadership lashes out at Zelenskyy for having the nerve to fight for his own country's survival. ​And for what? Why are we handing Putin a massive lifeline and ditching our own allies? ​For a drop of oil in the bucket.qq Literally. The fuel Putin is promising to send over doesn’t even cover one single day of what American trucks burn through. It won't lower gas prices, it won't help your wallet, and it won't protect American interests. It’s a giveaway for an illusion. ​We are giving away our integrity, selling out a democratic ally, and making America look completely unhinged on the world stage—all for a photo-op and a fake "ceasefire" that Putin is already breaking with fresh missile strikes. ​Our allies aren't looking at us right now thinking we're strong. They're looking at us thinking we've lost our fucking minds. ​And for those of you STILL supporting this lawless madness in order to give him another vehicle for FURTHER self-enrichment, having lost your minds is a very appropriate description.

Michiganders, I HOPE you know the gem you guys have in Abdul. I just saw his latest town hall, where this punk ass got up and began implicitly accusing him of being more beholden to his Muslim faith than he would be the Constitution. This kid actually began talking about Shari'a Law. He knows as little about Shari'a Law as he does the integrity and honesty of a great leader, who happens to be Muslim, as opposed to being a Muslim Leader. He didn't raise his voice, He didn't call this guy what I was SCREAMING at my TV lol, he calmly dismantled his rhetoric, piece by piece until the dude limped out of the hall with his head down. He is a magnificent communicator, he doesn't take a DIME of corporate or PAC money, and there isn't a disingenuous bone in his body. HE is what the Senate needs. Don't let Michigan or the Senate down in 3 weeks!!

I’ve donated to the Innocence Project because too many high-velocity prosecutions are driven by politics, not truth. But when an ideological fanatic commits an act of treason and massacres 13 soldiers in broad daylight, guilt isn't a question. Who the individual is makes zero difference—whst DOES matter is that this individual is entirely non rehabilitable. Anqqq irredeemable act of treason demands absolute accountability. I fully agree with his execution, and it is the only logical answer. What I reject is turning state power into a circus. Livestreaming a military execution isn't justice—it’s pure political perversion. Using state sanctioned death for clout and shock value degrades the law, exploits the victims’ families, and replaces solemn justice with performative reality TV.
