Happy anniversary, Head Start!  It was built on a simple but powerful idea: that every child deserves a strong start in life and currently supports more than 4,000 kids enrolled in programs across in New Mexico.  We must continue investing in our kids—in our future. ❤️

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

President Trump is trying to accept a $400 million luxury plane from Qatar. I won’t stand for blatant corruption or foreign interference, so I’ve signed on to legislation to investigate further.

Guy who got a "free" $400M plane from Qatar was up late tweeting about corruption.

President Deranged Loser spent the weekend throwing tantrums about tariffs, threatening the Supreme Court, and attacking ABC for telling the truth about his new bribe jet. Verily, he never stops crying like a wee baby.

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles. I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc. Unprecedented levels of flop! www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-...

Fun fact: The plane delivering the 59 white Afrikaners from S. Africa was paid for by American taxpayers, including black and brown people, some of whose relatives have been trafficked to offshore prisons with no due process.

And he’s damn right!

Yesterday, our doctors showed up on Capitol Hill to say: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID. Tonight, tomorrow, and Friday, we are hosting a "Docs on Call" event to call your Members of Congress and let them know health care is a human right. Register here: calendarlink.com/eve...

BREAKING: Dems have FLIPPED the Omaha mayoral race. John Ewing Jr has beaten the GOP incumbent!!

See the difference? 🤨

We ALL should be very concerned about this!

read this please www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/o...

Trump’s team is threatening to ARREST members of Congress for conducting oversight. That’s not democracy — that’s dictatorship. We’re not backing down and neither will you. We’ll speak up, show up, and peacefully protest to protect our rights.

NEW VIDEO: Big redistricting news out of Wisconsin where a new petition in that state's supreme court seeks to strike down its gerrymandered congressional map. Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_WG...

He obviously doesn’t know the meaning of the word “need.”

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Why should our children go without Medicaid so billionaires can receive tax cuts?!! They are throwing away our children’s lives for billionaires?!! Medicaid cuts kill!! #MomSky

AOC: "We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces

No matter how many times they lie about this, it doesn’t make it any more true.

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

The GOP’s reconciliation bill is one of the worst environmental bills I’ve ever seen. It guts public input, silences tribal and community voices, slashes environmental protections, and hands sacred and public lands to the lowest bidder with no accountability.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

Firing Dr. Carla Hayden is an of despicable clownishness.

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

You never hear Don Williams county songs any more because of the old 70's pedal steel sound, but, damn, that voice. youtu.be/0_Vw6UrEKq4?...

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

Yes. Taxes should be higher on the wealthy. In 1981 Reagan lowered them from 70% to 50%. In 1986 he lowered them to 38.5% and lowered capital gains tax. Many wealth and corps pay zero. This is one of the problems.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

This right here......

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Oh hell no Trump abruptly fires Librarian of Congress - NBC News

I have only one request of the new Pope’s Swiss Guard. Don’t let JD Vance anywhere near him.
