The people of the treasure coast deserve someone that’s ready to meet the moment and fight for what’s right. Thank you to the North County democratic club for allowing me the opportunity to speak in front of the people of Northern Palm Beach County, Florida.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

But when will enough people say ENOUGH?

Bluesky is beautiful, even when it’s stormy. #photography #scape #clouds #sky 💙

God Bless our noble Senator Alex Padilla.

You can be the whitest American in all of America and still love all humans not the same color or creed. This was once what made America GREAT!

Let's be clear. When Kristi Noem describes on Fox News that a man "started shouting" and "charged the podium" during her press conference, she probably didn't see a US Senator. She saw a man with brown skin challenging her authority and probably did feel threatened. And, that is exactly the problem.

Homeland Security can’t even bring itself to apologize.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Did you ask for a bird fact? No, but you're getting one whether you like it or not. 🪶 (Actually, Sarah R. asked for this bird fact. The rest of you can thank her.)

Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Who else nearly fell out of the seat when you heard Cosplay Kristi accuse Sen. Padilla of “political theater”?

What an entrance

Terry Moran and Jim Acosta should start the own news network with some other journalist and resistors

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

Angus: Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law. Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada. He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.

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

Sometimes I think the “this is just a distraction” crowd just can’t handle the chaos, and that’s their way of cooping. But this is our reality. All of it. We don’t get to pick one crisis at a time. Walk and chew gum.

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

I couldn't agree more. Heartbreaking

Vermont: this is Annie! She's young, pretty, and incredibly friendly - the type that normally gets snapped up within a few days at the shelter. She's been passed over for weeks, though, because she has FIV and people are scared off by misconceptions.🧵 www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...
