Farmworkers are hiding because Trump made them targets. Without farmworkers, the crops that feed our nation rot and our tables go empty. This isn’t strong immigration policy — it’s economic sabotage fueled by hate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

58 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled on the side of our clients Mildred and Richard Loving, legalizing interracial marriages nationwide. This Loving Day, we honor the generations of families who were torn apart by anti-miscegenation laws and celebrate the couple that changed history.

Sure! Here’s Can someone please explain the logic behind the megabill? I still don’t understand why wealthy individuals supposedly need even more money.

You reaped what you sowed, Rand. Enjoy FAFO.

Well said, in stating the obvious. Anyone who has experience with sociopathic narcissists can see this clearly.

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

BREAKING: After Trump deployed Marines to LA, this military member joined an anti-ICE protest in Dallas, declaring, 'We won’t be pawns in stripping away constitutional rights.’ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙

🔥🔥🔥 Russia has now lost over 1 million troops in Ukraine. At least 250,000 are confirmed dead. This isn’t just the biggest military disaster since WWII—it’s a national death spiral. 👉Putin isn’t slowing down. He’s accelerating the collapse. youtu.be/5GIvYMsxgCc

Hypocritical bigots, if you ask me.

Rep. Eric. Sorensen on Harvey Milk: "He stood up for the same people who are being targeted, persecuted, and vilified by this administration today ... picking and choosing who deserves that thanks -- it's not just wrong, it's un-American."

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump's California troop deployment is impeachable, CBC chair says

Terry Moran isn’t wrong about Stephen Miller—his rhetoric is often fueled by insecurity and hate.

This video highlights exactly why I struggle to see any true embodiment of Jesus’ teachings among MAGA supporters. Instead of reflecting His message of compassion, humility, and love for others, the movement often seems to embody values that stand in direct contradiction to what Jesus taught.

As I said, I do not believe anything from 47’s lying, nasty, pungent, swampy mouth.

Agreed, George.

Donald Trump didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6th. Yet he called them in to LA without a request from officials in California. He pardoned people who smeared bodily fluids on our Capitol and beat cops, calling them “patriots.” His hypocrisy is nauseating.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

It’s refreshing for once to read a news story saying that there’s still some good shit going on somewhere. www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

JUST IN: California has officially sued the Trump administration to rescind the deployment of the national guard over the objection of Gov. Gavin Newsom. The lawsuit: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Me neither.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

I wouldn't be too surprised. Elon Musk admitted it from his X account, and 47 personally thanked him for it on live TV some time ago.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. just fired the entire independent CDC vaccine advisory committee. “A clean sweep is needed to re-establish public confidence in vaccine science,” Kennedy, a notorious anti-vax activist, said in an opinion piece in the WSJ. What could possibly go wrong?

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

NEW: California's impending lawsuit will seek a court order to rescind Trump's deployment of the National Guard to L.A., saying it violated federal law and the 10th Amendment. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

NEW: Brad Bondi, brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi, just lost his bid to lead the D.C. Bar Association in a landslide, 91% to 9%. He was defeated by employment lawyer Diane Seltzer.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

@donwinslow.bsky.social nails it.

I witnessed Jan 6 in DC. I witnessed the protests in LA. The only violence I have seen in LA is from law enforcement. The only violence I saw in DC was from the crowd. Neither were “rebellion” but Jan 6 was a literal riot.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Statement from Gavin Newsom: “The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

May 4, 1970, Kent State University. The Ohio National Guard shot unarmed college students. The guards fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students (Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Knox Schroeder) and wounding nine others.
