Today May 15th is Peace Officers Memorial Day. Statements like this are inflammatory, disrespectful and flat out lies. Not only did you betray law enforcement, but you sided with people who attacked us. You don't support law enforcement, you are are a criminal.

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

Pope Leo is the Vatican's response for America giving us the Anti-Christ.

JUST IN: ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, which exposes the fatal consequences of abortion bans, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. This is the second consecutive year we’ve been awarded this distinction and our eighth Pulitzer: www.propublica.org/series/life-...

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

If you have to carry your papers so you don't renditioned to die in a foreign gulag, you're living in a fascist state. If you're arresting judges because they're not an active tool of the Executive, you're a fascist. When you are essentially outlawing the opposition party, you're a fascist.

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

Portland, Maine today. #NoKings

Republicans want to make this all about criminals and victims. It’s about the Constitution and due process for all. It doesn’t matter who they are torturing today. They want it to be us next. That’s the fight.

People still act like a special bell will ring signaling the arrival of Fascism. Trump just defied a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. Fascism is here.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Reminder: The Trump Administration used an unsecured commercial messaging app to text secret military plans to a journalist, endangering our national security. There’s still been zero accountability. Fire Hegseth. Fire Waltz.

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

The end of my speech from a local rally.

Portland, Maine. #Handsoff

Congratulations to all the people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d be good for the economy

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Trump is carving out a foreign policy legacy of diminished U.S. leadership, abandoned allies, starving children, and spreading diseases. History will never forget if he succeeds. Trump is not just turning America away from the world—he is turning the world away from America.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Hegseth is in way over his head. He’s got to go.

Whiskey Pete Hegseth has a Russian burner phone which he uses to communicate in secret with someone. 👊🇺🇸🔥

Trump & Musk are tossing life-saving research into the shredder—and the consequences will be devastating for treatment for childhood cancers, a cure for Alzheimer's, and so much more. Does cutting off cancer research make sense to anyone?

Fmr National Security Advisor Susan Rice has LAID IT OUT on @msnbc.com. You wanna know exactly what is outrageous about the conduct of these actors in Signal-gate. Get the tape. She’s on to something, among other questions: why was the Acting Chair of the Joint Chiefs left out of this conversation?

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should resign. He recklessly texted operational details of military strikes to a journalist, endangering the lives of American troops and our national security.
