How grotesque. The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

The Trump Admin just decided to send thousands of innocent people who have been living and working here legally into imminent danger in Haiti. Trump will tear apart families, rip up communities, and leave businesses and nursing homes short handed. And no one will be safer.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it?? Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate the anniversary of Union troops' arrival in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, with the news of the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we must continue the work of breaking down inequality and injustice in all of our systems.

Today we honor Juneteenth, a reminder that freedom was fought for, not given. We must honor the past by continuing to fight every day for justice, truth, and equality.

On June 19, 1865, the last slaves in Galveston, Texas rejoiced as they received word of their freedom. 160 years later, we recognize #Juneteenth as a celebration of their strength, resiliency and dreams, and recommit ourselves to working toward a more just and fair society.

Praying for all American troops who may be in harm’s way. Regardless of your politics I think we can all agree to the safety of our troops.

Tomorrow we DISRUPT! #goodtrouble 💙

Does anyone think these unspeakably evil political assassinations of Democratic lawmakers would’ve occurred without the vicious permission structure erected by Trump, Vance, Rubio, and their MAGAts? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

A woman is hospitalized and receives staples in her head after LAPD trampled her with their horses. LAPD also impeded her receiving medical attention.

You know, we used to study Dr Kings civil disobedience as something good. It was

Today I watched as my colleague, @padilla.senate.gov, was shoved and handcuffed by Trump officials. I immediately went to the Senate floor to respond. This is what I said: youtu.be/h40tBBFkiq4?...

If we were a serious country, here is how we'd talk about Biden vs Trump: 1. Biden was too old, but he ran the most competent government in our lifetimes & it was full of highly qualified experts 2. Trump is too old & a criminal fascist & the government is failing & full of malevolent incompetents

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

The right to peacefully protest is fundamental. It is in the Constitution. No president can nullify it—because in the United States of America, we have no kings. Join @indivisible.org and more this weekend to make your voice heard: www.nokings.org

NONE OF THIS HAD TO HAPPEN.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Did Trump call in the National Guard because ICE agents were afraid the rhythm was going to get them?

When the LA police says you are overreaching, you are overreaching.

January Trump approval on the economy: plus +8.24 points Today Trump approval on the economy: minus -15.75 January Trump approval on inflation: plus +1.99 Today Trump approval on inflation: minus -22.24 So clearly it's time to deploy the Marines in L.A.? www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

On his first day in office, Donald Trump pardoned 169 people who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6.

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...
