The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

Boelter is apparently facing federal charges. Which opens to door to a presidential pardon if convicted (if not before). There should be a state prosecution here to make sure justice actually gets served (and so evidence re motive is not selectively presented to conform to predetermined narratives)

The problem isn’t Senator Padilla. It’s the fact a member of the president’s cabinet suggested that the federal government has an obligation to “liberate” American cities from their duly elected officials for an indefinite period, under no serious legal authority, with military personnel.

Pete is 100% correct: "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."

Senator Padilla was violently assaulted for doing his job. If this is how federal agents treat a sitting U.S. Senator peacefully asking questions, how far will they go?

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

This is chilling to watch and utterly unacceptable in the United States of America. As a former Senator, I’m calling on all current members to speak out on behalf of Sen. Padilla and defend him and the Senate against these outrageous attacks.

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

Here is the video of US Senator Alex Padilla being forcibly removed from a Kristi Noem press conference. Please make sure this video is everywhere. They claimed they didn't know who he was--but he identified himself. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Included in the Republican’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is a 365% increase in ‘anticipated’ tariffs. They ‘anticipate’ they’re going to collect 400 billion dollars in revenue in tariffs. As a reminder, we, the U.S. consumer will be paying this. The tariffs are another Republican scam.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

There’s an insane level of corruption in the Trump administration. This is a bribe from a foreign country, because they know the President of the United States is willing to accept it. Pay to play. Plain and simple.

“If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they’re likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment,” the Federal Reserve chair said. This is exactly what Trump doesn’t want the American public to hear.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand how “Christian” Conservatives back a guy who cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star, was found liable for rape, mocks their faith, and thinks he’s God—while hating Joe Biden, a devout Catholic who actually lives his faith. Olympic-level hypocrisy.
