That was fast. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR. Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

Hidden in the GOP Tax scam is a provision to take away the tax on..... gun silencers. #StopTheBillionaireBailout

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

Patrick Gaspard was the U.S. ambassador to South Africa from 2013 to 2016. 🇺🇸 🇿🇦

McGovern: The reason why the tax cuts for middle class families might expire is because that's the way you wrote them in the 2017 Republican tax scam bill. You made the corporate tax cuts permanent but those for working people you made expire, so it's your fault.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

I’m only a Juris Doctor, but I diagnose Don Jr. as being a soulless moron.

"Some National Weather Service offices, including Jackson, no longer have overnight staff from midnight to 7AM. All three Kentucky offices - Jackson, Paducah and Louisville - are short-staffed. There is no meteorologist in charge at any of the three offices..." www.kentucky.com/news/state/k...

In our entire history only one President got our credit downgraded in both his terms AND got us added to the Human Rights Watch List.

"In the few months since the second Trump administration began, the federal government’s efforts to control silicosis have been destroyed," David Michaels and Gregory Wagner write:

Good morning !

looking at the photo that headlines this piece i think i know what the university of austin means when they say they don't tolerate "DEI" quillette.com/2025/05/16/i...

I have endured his scurrilous attacks for years. He has sued me for racketeering — and lost. He has unleashed his right-wing army of online trolls. Since his reelection, he has threatened me, defamed me and singled me out by name in two executive orders. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-t...

Republicans can't stop being weird about my campaign and a recent piece by the Chicago Contrarian encapsulated just how lame and triggered these dudes are: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RUt...

Apologies for the corrupt in-kind donation here, but this is very funny. She’s pissing off all the right people.

yes. this.

On FB I asked: “Who do you blame for Walmart raising prices because of tariffs” You wouldn’t believe how many morons are saying ‘Walmart.’

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Alsobrooks to RFK Jr: "You are the wrong person for this job. And you had in this hearing today the unmitigated gall to say at the beginning of your testimony that China is ahead of the United States in healthcare because China does not have DEI."

🔥 DAMN! — @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: “I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
