Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

I feel like so much of politics has turned into “well, if you give a mouse a cookie…” politics, without interrogating the fact that we actually deserve food and a warm, comfortable place to sleep and free hours in the day.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Public college was never “cheap.” It was funded by taxpayers who saw higher education as a public good. Then came tax cuts for the rich, budget cuts for education, and rising tuition. Now we’re told debt is the only way forward.

I have stopped expecting much in the way of bravery from @cantwell.senate.gov but seriously? The only state to tilt more blue; the bare minimum you should be doing is not moving any of his folks forward while we’re in free fall.
