If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Who will tell the president what the Constitution requires? Certainly not Attorney General Bondi. And certainly not this nominee for the Office of Legal Counsel.

Amazingly, we are still forced to listen to Republicans say with a straight face that cutting taxes for the wealthy will create such an explosion of economic growth that the tax cut will pay for itself. This is what they always say to justify upper-income tax cuts, and they’re always wrong.

📣 CALL TO ACTION: KILL THE BILL. STOP THE LIES. Dear Senator: Stop pretending Medicaid work requirements are about "fiscal responsibility" or "getting people to work." It’s a sham. 🔹 64% of adult Medicaid recipients already work. 🔹 93% are either working, in school, caregiving, or disabled.

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.

Trump is going to kill millions, again, 👇 Congress must immediately create and pass a bipartisan, stand-alone, veto-proof bill appropriating emergency funding for a bird flu vaccine. To do otherwise will, with high likelihood (it's a 'when', not an 'if'), lead to the death to millions.

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

Please repost and don't let them EVER erase history! 😡

The amount of money Trump is stuffing into his pockets is unprecedented and unfortunately barely noticed. But what really pisses me off is he's making hundreds of millions of dollars while taking food from kids, jobs from veterans, and health care from people with disabilities.

To all the Latino Trump supporters, when he said that he was going to deport all the criminals, rapists, gang bangers, he meant YOU. Because that is how he sees you—what he thinks of you. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here, what you’ve contributed. You’re brown, that’s all that matters…

Canada, Germany, England, Denmark, Netherlands, and France all have travel advisory warnings for visiting America. Let that sink in.

The shift to clean energy has been a big boost for Arizona’s economy, but Trump’s plan could undo all of that — and thousands of Arizonans could lose their jobs because of it. I’m going to keep fighting to stop this bill in the Senate.

Full stop. Now what? Anyone have ideas?

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

The more you know…💫

⚡️'He was kidnapped' — Georgian opposition leader detained as ruling party continues crackdown on dissent. Leader of the Georgian opposition party "Coalition for Change," Nika Melia, was detained on May 29, NewsGeorgia reported, citing Melia's associates.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

DOJ is deciding to prosecute discrimination cases [on behalf of white people and/or "Christians" only] by reading the notoriously honest and reliable X, a gathering place for Nazis, white supremacists, and those who constantly nurse paranoid, fake persecution complexes. What a brilliant plan.

Jesus tapdancing Christ "The reason state troopers are being summoned to arrest the homeless, a WSMV4 Investigation found, is that they are working for a proprietary security organization in which the troopers are paid with private dollars by a downtown Nashville business organization."

This is a very big deal.👇 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: The U.S. deported a 2-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN CITIZEN. Manu Borges Santos. Born in Florida. Passport. Social security number. Brazilian authorities were stunned. This is white nationalist cruelty in action. THIS IS fascism! THIS IS HUMAN TRAFFICKING! www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

"Let's start a club for evil, corrupt men willing to ruin innocent people's lives for our own political ambitions!" "Great!"

Just called my Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL-04) & expressed my opposition to the budget bill. Would encourage everyone in his district to do the same. Bean’s phone # is 202-225-0123. #AmeliaIsland #Florida

Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL-04) Your constituents see what you are doing. -122k in #ACA -160k in Medicaid/Chip -166k in Medicare Cutting Medicaid and healthcare to give billionaires tax cuts is flat out wrong. VOTE NO ‼️ #Florida #FL04

It’s been around since 1983.

They were always going to go after the easy targets. These lazy fucks don’t want to chase actual criminals.

When you realize billionaires are going to get big tax cuts while students get kicked out of college…💩🤡 Call your lawmakers at 202-224-3121 & ask them to put our kids before billionaires & reject education cuts #HandsOffPublicSchools social.demcast.com/s/zgqtqpMp

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

🎯 🎯 🎯

Turns out, judges agree.

Straight up violation of the Civil Service Reform Act.

"'If they attempt to deport the Afghans, you’re going to see actual physical conflict between U.S. veterans and ICE,' he predicted..." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

This is horrible

Trump has hired TWO DOZEN people from FOX News to work in his administration. These are talentless frauds and inveterate liars who’ve each contributed to the demise of intelligence in America. I suppose we should be grateful that he didn’t watch The Walking Dead, instead.

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

Someone alert Jake Tapper, Trump had a very difficult time understanding questions from a reporter yesterday. A change of topic really confused him and it took him a while to catch up. Seems like this should be a pretty big story.

For many years, ICE has agreed not to deport certain people for humanitarian reasons, including this mother of three with no criminal record who has strong ties to her community. Now the Trump admin needs "easy" deportations; so they're revoking stays of removal without any warning at all.
