We told you Mamacita's story several months ago. We're happy to share that since we sponsored her care with your help, things are looking up for her! She lost some much-needed weight, her swelling went down, and she was able to find what she'd long been waiting for: a family ❤️‍🩹

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

How is your Monday going so far?

More from Sotomayor's dissent in this horrific SCOTUS ruling: "By rewarding lawlessness, the Court once again undermines that foundational principle. Apparently, the Court finds the idea that thousands will suffer violence in farflung locales more palatable than

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants to countries they have never lived in, including places where they will likely be tortured. “I cannot join so gross an abuse of this Court’s equitable discretion,” writes Justice Sotomayor in a blistering dissent.

ICE has imprisoned the wife of a Marine veteran who was still breastfeeding a 3-month-old baby because her *mother* failed to attend a hearing in 2018 apnews.com/article/ice-...

Horrific ruling.

Last week, I joined nearly 200 other representatives and senators in demanding Mike Johnson and John Thune back Senator Alex Padilla, after he was wrongfully handcuffed and detained at a DHS press conference. We can not let this stand.

For anyone who needs it today, I’ll share my Mr. B!

There is ZERO evidence Iran is close to building a bomb. Tulsi basically said as much a few months ago. They've presented no compelling evidence to the American people. Good on Chris Murphy for calling that out 👇

A patient cat plus a dog that wears down the patient cat with love until they are friends is a very unlikely story. But it’s ours. ❤️

Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iran—without congressional authorization—risking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Each of the six bombs Trump just dropped on Iran costs $33.5 Million dollars. Each one. Each Arrow missile the US deploys to intercept an Iranian missile costs between $3 Million and $4 Million dollars. Each one.

This is your hypocritical, “anti-war” president who just illegally struck Iran and is putting countless lives at risk.

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars. No more wars.

The squeaky tank was the last straw.

Congress must impeach and remove Trump. Period.

Up early to beat the heat. Before it got too hot showed Thundy how to use the fountain. Since can’t swim thought this would be okay as not submerging the leg. We saw @baileyandbrawny.bsky.social’s and couldn’t resist. Thank you for the recommendation.

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

U.S. Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) declared Saturday evening that his party's leader, the president of the United States, made an unconstitutional move.

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

A former chess coach says a member of the Taliban vice squad told him: "Playing chess is forbidden. Buying a chess set is forbidden. Even watching it — is forbidden." Why was the game banned?

High humidity can make it tough for your body to cool down. As most of the country braces for extreme temperatures, a doctor shares advice on how to cool down when the humidity is working against you.

Republicans want to change or reduce key social safety net programs that provide health care, food benefits and financial assistance for millions of children.

JUST IN: Khalil left the Louisiana detention center where he's been since March, when ICE agents arrested him over his pro-Palestinian activism. A federal judge ruled the government could no longer detain him.

A new documentary on PBS shows what it's like to care for adult family members and recounts the history of caregiving policy in the U.S. revealing why those caring for family are often on their own.

The video of John Spitzberg's arrest has been shared widely across social platforms, becoming a crystalizing moment for those protesting the Trump administration.

I wonder how they decide who gets the inside and who gets the outside...

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

Here’s JD Vance accidentally on purpose calling Alex Padilla, a California Senator, ‘Jose Padilla.’ What juvenile and embarrassing behavior.

You know who paid some of the taxes that got wasted on that stupid parade in DC this weekend? Immigrants.

Trump refusing to call Gov. Walz after shootings isn't leadership—it’s petty politics at its worst. Unfortunately, it's also Trump...at his best. It's who he is. It's all he has to offer.

Tell him, Nancy!

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

The biggest change in reproductive rights in Britain in half a century has just passed the Commons. MPs have voted 379-137 to decriminalise abortion, preventing women from being prosecuted for terminating a pregnancy after 24 weeks.

Investigate ICE, Congress

“We are not criminals. We are human.” He lost his job. His home. He is on the street. A young girl with cancer stands beside him, with little time left. This is what Trump’s hate does. It destroys families. It destroys lives. We must stand up and demand better. #Voices4Victory

10 years later, we have not forgotten the 9 Black lives taken from us in Charleston by a white supremacist. Clementa, Cynthia, Susie, Ethel, Depayne, Tywanza, Daniel, Sharonda, and Myra should be here. Congress must pass the Enhanced Background Checks Act by @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social
