Remember that video of the masked men who grabbed a man working as a landscaper, was pepper sprayed, violently pinned to the ground and repeatedly struck by unidentified masked men?! His name is Narciso Barranco, and he’s the father of three United States Marines. His sons are very upset.

BONDI: I was attempting to answer your question. Very calmly. Unlike you. DeLAURO: Excuse me? Excuse me? Answer yes or no. I don't want to hear all of your filibuster.

Jeffries: "Not a scintilla of evidence to date has been presented that I have seen to justify the notion that there was an imminent threat to the United States of America. If the administration has evidence to the contrary, come up to present it."

California currently has 205 members of the Cal Guard deployed in the Middle East, including at bases in Qatar and Iraq. Jen and I are praying for their safety — and for the safety of every American service member serving in harm’s way.

Trump wants to be a war president. Everything he has done has been aimed at concentrating power in his hands and undermining democratic institutions. War is the ultimate power grab

DEAN: Do you have any concerns about your conflicts of interest and the president's? BONDI: What I would be concerned about in Pennsylvania is all the child sex cases DEAN: Did you hear my question?

So far it appears as if Irans response, similar to after solemani was killed, is an attempt To respond to save face but not escalate.

Our air base in Qatar is under Iranian attack, but don’t worry because we have a former reality tv game show host criminal conman with the impulse control of a hangry toddler for a president and a day drinking weekend tv “news” pundit for a Secretary of Defense, so this is fine. Everything is fine.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Jeffries: We’ve seen no evidence to justify this type of offensive strike. There doesn’t seem to be a plan for how to avoid the kind of escalation that could drag America into another potentially disastrous Middle Eastern war—one that the overwhelming majority of the American people want no part of

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

Thank you to Prime Minister Kristen Michal for the warm welcome to Estonia. In uncertain times, partnerships like ours matter more than ever. The UK and Estonia stand together for democracy and our shared future. 🇬🇧🇪🇪

I was disappointed to miss the Assisted Dying Bill vote in Parliament on Friday. This is an issue I care about profoundly, and I know how important this vote was to so many of you. Please read my full statement explaining my absence below. 👇

Damn right!!!

Someone's panicking.

How Putin rigged the 2024 election and installed Trump as President. Putin is waging a new kind of war against America, and Trump is his weapon.

We are in the hands of a mentally unstable nut who is now threatening Russia with nuclear retaliation based on the midnight ramblings of a drunken fool in Russia.

President Donald Trump has just committed the most basic of strategic blunders: the fallacy of the last move. This is the mistaken belief that a powerful or bold action will decisively settle a dis...

"The ranked-choice voting simulation over eight rounds ends with Mamdani at 52% and Cuomo at 48%." 🔥

HUGE NEWS!!!! A new poll has me within single digits of leading in my race, ahead of FIVE other career politicians. This is incredible! I was a "long shot" in March. Now we’re proving that grassroots campaigns can be viable and win — but I can’t do it without your help.

I’m never getting past the anger that our political nemesis is so fucking stupid

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"

It isn't just Iran that needs a "regime" change? www.npr.org/2025/02/19/g...

Women voters prefer Cuomo, the sexual predator, 52%-48%, men prefer Mamdani. Make it make sense. I think women just expect powerful men to be dicks. JFC. Anyway, GO MAMDANI!! emersoncollegepolling.com/new-york-cit...

Happy “Make yourselves poorer and more isolated” day… £40Bn ongoing hit to economy and 10% inward investment drop confirmed… But hey ho… Who needs economic strength or strategic clout when you have super-special-sovereignty? 9 years on. And stupider every year. www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

BREAKING: According to the New York Times, U.S. intelligence believes Iran removed approximately 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity from the Fordow facility prior to the strike. The current location of this nuclear material is unknown to the United States.

MORNING ALL! Today is the 9th anniversary of the Brexit vote. How do we all think it’s gone so far?

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn Report here, and thread below: buff.ly/gpe2Dpf

The only way to truly make Brexit work... ...is to bury it six feet under and join the EU as full members again. That way Brexit can fulfil its true function as a blip in history that serves as an important cautionary tale.

The Govt should not just "stand ready for all eventualities". They should put Thames Water under special administration & turn it into a public benefit company asap, to finally end the raw sewage scandal & put customers first. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The people of Iran have suffered under a brutal regime for far too long. But a US President planning regime change in the Middle East feels like 2003 all over again. We’ve seen where that path leads and it does not end well.

I'm pleased HMRC are finally dealing with my constituent's request following my intervention. Whether it's HMRC or the high street, my team & I are always happy to help. 🙌 #LocalChampion #Casework
