I like my margaritas on the rocks no salt. Socially awkward yet also socially conscious. Just glad when I make it through the day and both socks match.

WATCH: During a hearing, GOP Sen. Josh Hawley presented a chart claiming Trump was victimized by injunctions—only to be dismantled by legal scholar (and wife of Chris Hayes) Kate Shaw.

“Shame! Shame! Shame!” Crowd forms in response to San Diego deportation effort.

How is this #justice?

We cannot let Trump hide behind his Big Budget Bill. We must fight each and every provision that threatens democracy and American lives.

❗️SHAME❗️Avelo Airlines signed a contract to run deportation flights for the Trump regime. Human rights & laws be damned, the Avelo CEO wants the 💰 from ICE flights. Near Chicago's O'Hare Airport, we're over the Kennedy, spreading the word: #BoycottAvelo

📍 Salem Municipal Airport Part of today’s Nationwide Day of Protest against Avelo Airlines. It takes all of us to make change. Together, we can stop these deportation flights and stand up for justice + due process. #StopAvelo #DontFlyAvelo #StopDeportationFlights #NationwideDayofAveloProtests

Good people who showed up today to protest against ICE, across from Avelo at Wilmington Airport here in Delaware. Due process is for everyone! Keep up the good work, democracy is at risk. #habeascorpus #resist #democracy #constitution

🚨 I am struck by the date. June 14th. 2:30 PM CST. Anything else scheduled on that date?? 🤔🤔🤔 www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/p...

Are Proud Boys cosplaying as ICE agents, or are ICE agents dressing up like Proud Boys?  Both are extremely problematic.

Citizens United amounts to legalized bribery – plain and simple.

Foreign governments and individuals are stuffing money into the president's pockets to influence his actions. Could not be more clear or obvious. Unprecedented corruption - and *exactly* what the Founders feared.

The New York Times is reporting that four of the top partners at Paul Weiss are leaving in order to create their own law firm. Paul Weiss capitulated to the Felon. Weiss’s deal with Mephisto pledged $40 million in free legal work to support mutually agreed causes with the administration.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

This is deeply disgusting. Wearing his pathetic campaign hat to the West Point graduation.

The greed of this era is staggering.

Shane Jenkins, a lifelong criminal, was found guilty of assaulting police officers on J6. He was just invited to the WH, like a hero. Jenkins, who has "Mama tried" tattooed on his neck & texted "I have murder in my heart and head" after the attack, says he's not sorry. www.npr.org/2025/05/21/n...

#MorningVibe WOTD - chicanery. Let’s use it in a sentence! Donald Trump and the Republicans often resort to chicanery—through misinformation, legal manipulation, and obstruction tactics—to advance their political agenda and maintain power. 🗣️beverlymahone, IG

STUDY: “When a state made cuts to Medicaid, depriving people of access to health insurance, the crime rate increased… cuts to Medicaid hurt public safety.” Don’t tell us you care about crime then slash Medicaid by $1 Trillion, underfund education, etc. boltsmag.org/medicaid-cov...

Today, we remember Uvalde. We remember the 19 children and 2 teachers who were mercilessly gunned down. The kids who hid underneath their dead classmates to survive. The parents who had to submit DNA to identify their own babies. We need an assault weapons ban. Now.

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table or affording lifesaving medical care. But, Republicans in Congress are forcing families to make this choice by gutting Medicaid funding. Now is NOT the time to stay silent– keep speaking out about #Medicaid!

Trump held up a printed picture of people lifting body bags and said, "These are all white farmers that are being buried.” The image actually shows humanitarian workers burying bodies in the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo. They are not white, not farmers, and not South African.

Funny, but when I was a federal prosecutor, people, including folks I know to be conservative Republicans, were absolutely adamant about prosecuting pay-to-play schemes that were much less bold and audacious than this one. Those folks all seem to have gone into hiding now.

This is for you, Marco Rubio! It’s taught in elementary school. And yes, you have to answer to the Judicial Branch. #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory

President Trump and the GOP lied to Americans about their "big beautiful bill." Tax on tips? Still there. Tax on overtime? Still there. Tax on Social Security benefits? Still there. The Trump administration continues to help the wealthiest Americans instead of the working Americans.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

🚨Rep. Mike Levin exposes secret provisions in the GOP’s budget like Tax Free Gun Silencers. 😳

If @msnbc is going to have random physicians who have never treated Biden speculating about him, maybe they can find some to speculate about Trump’s apparent medical issues.

I feel like a strong leader wouldn’t be afraid to ask El Salvador’s president to send back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, just saying.

Real Capitalism™ is the President telling an individual corporation how to set its prices.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.
