Congress is on the verge of passing a bill that will wreck our health care system. Whether or not you get health care through Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, or Medicare, these cuts will affect everyone when it bankrupts the providers we all depend on. #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

Happy No Kings Day!

BREAKING: Suspect in shooting of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota had a hit list with nearly 70 names, including abortion providers, pro-choice advocates and lawmakers - CNN

AWESOME!

Nobody should be driven into debt because they decided to go to the hospital and receive life saving care.

Exactly. We have entered dangerous and unprecedented times.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, State Senator John Hoffman and State Representative Melissa Hortman, were shot in their own homes overnight.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents. When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

I am seeing conflicting posts about whether the US knew about Israel’s attacks on Iran. What are others seeing on this question?

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Tupac was wise before his time. In this video, he was 23 yrs young. youtube.com/shorts/uCfo-...

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

In no universe did Senator Alex Padilla “lunge” at anyone. This administration is full of pathological liars.

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

@therickwilson.bsky.social: If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe. WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=cEqM...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Oh look RJ May who proposed a bill for Trump to be entombed in the South Carolina Capitol charged with distribution of child abuse materials. And check out his username... Mmhmm.

Rep. Lynch: "In late March, ICE agents wearing masks detained Rümeysa Öztürk. And those of you who watched that abduction, when you compare the old films of the Gestapo grabbing people off the streets of Poland ... it does look like the Gestapo."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., speaks out after Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed and handcuffed during a DHS press conference. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said law enforcement “acted appropriately.”

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

Resign now, Kristi Noem.

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

WTAF??

LA is home to nearly a million undocumented immigrants. If you live here, you know someone living that reality whether you know it or not. It’s part of what makes this city what it is—and no, we’re not living in fear because of them.

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.

🔥 @repstansbury.bsky.social : “The deployment of Marines against American citizens is a disgusting abuse of power. There is no legal basis for it.”

The news about Brian Wilson’s passing isn’t unexpected, but is still incredibly sad. Despite being widely and correctly regarded as one of greatest musicians he was still, in my opinion, underrated. Hardly ever mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles though they revered him

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.
