Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

The House version of Trump's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" cut $800B from Medicaid—and the Senate version is even worse. There's nothing "beautiful" about kicking millions off their health care. And to pay for billionaire tax cuts? We must fight this with everything we've got.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law by withholding funding for the nation’s libraries as part of its federal reorganization plan. The G.A.O. will sue if the administration continues to block funds already approved by Congress.

Waiting for joint resolutions from Congress and every state house in the country condemning the violence.

Slashing funding for the LGBTQ+ crisis hotline is a heartbreaking blow. NJ counselors warn these cuts will cost lives. When people have the strength to ask for help, we must stand with them, and against policies that put our community’s mental health—and lives—on the line.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

This is a four alarm fire for democracy. The Homeland Security secretary is vowing to "liberate" Los Angeles with the U.S. military as a U.S. Senator is dragged away, tackled and handcuffed.

There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad. 16 MILLION losing health care. 4.3 MILLION losing food assistance. And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt. All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

Those who stay quiet now, in the face of this lawless President, will regret it. Like so many throughout history who stood silent as dictators worked to seized power. Preserving the rule of law and our Constitution is a job that belongs to all of us.

Get thee to a rally and make-eth merry! #NoKings

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

This Father's Day, don't believe everything you read on the internet. But read this. #MenCare #CareCantWait https://globalstrategygroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/PLFA-Men-Survey-Memo-F06.02.25.pdf

@rephaleystevens.bsky.social lays out how the One Big Ugly Bill will cut health care for 16 million people, in Michigan and across the country, and hurt critical industries that power the American economy.

Knowing our history is important

Our local trusted journalists @cardinalandpine.bsky.social just reported that the imminent hurricane season is predicted to be “bumpy” and we in NC are left wondering whether we’re “on our own,” as trump’s decimation of FEMA has left WNC without the assistance it still needs after Helene ‘24

America's promise is to be the land of the free. So why are extremist pundits and politicians leading attacks on the rights of vulnerable people who just want to be themselves? Fear mongering is about power, not people. Spread facts, not fear! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/0Fbsg1m5

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom warned. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

ICE is rounding up individuals off the street with no warrants, including children. He’s playing with peoples’ lives like they’re pawns in his political game. California will never ever bend to the will of a tyrant.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

This week, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office revealed that Trump’s budget bill will not only add $3 trillion to the deficit, but it will also strip health care away from 16 million Americans.

Today in Chicago, people attempting to do things the right and legal way, by showing up to immigration check-ins, were lured to ISAP and entrapped by ICE so that the fascists in the White House can meet their daily deportation quotas.
