Federal law specifies that members of Congress can access any DHS facility, including ICE detention centers, but two US representatives were denied entry today: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/n...

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Rep. Gomez: LA County alone is 34% foreign born, 34%. So when he says they're going to liberate us, who is he going to liberate us from? Ourselves?

Every accusation is a confession.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

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.

True story bro.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Are you all listening @housedemocrats.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social What is the plan?

Their M.O. distract. distract. distract, while they slowly kill us off.🤔

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!😊💙

US immigration officers ordered to arrest more people even without warrants. Ice officers are told to get ‘creative’ with arrests, including of undocumented people encountered by chance. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you find yourself fighting with other Dems about Biden, keep in mind that Tapper and the corporate media are part of the oligarchy, and they want us fighting.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

Heads up Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina. Elevated risk. www.health.com/tomato-recal...

I've got bookmark folders for various outrages of the Trump administration—budget cuts, the war on science & medical research, immigration human rights violations. This transcript is bookmarked in the latter as firsthand testimony to the personal, human cost of the Trump administration's cruelty.

Friends, as we gear up for a summer of protesting this cruel administration, it’s important not to give them any excuse to respond with violence. Please consider these tips for ensuring safe, peaceful protests. They want a police state. We’ll model peaceful calm opposition. Stay safe out there.🕊️

You can't kick millions off Medicaid without forcing hospitals across America to close, especially in rural communities. People who've lost coverage will delay care and eventually head to the emergency room, uninsured. Every Senator needs to vote NO on these Medicaid cuts.

Hey Sen. Joni Ernst, people shouldn't be dying of treatable conditions because their Senators cut social safety nets that people have paid into all their lives, so they no longer have access to the care that would treat or manage their conditions. The fact that this has to be spelled out is insane.

Popok: I don’t want to live in a country where I wake up and the president and his henchmen are sending other human beings—and they are outsourcing them for cash. Paying cash to third-world countries that don’t respect our values.

One passed laws for your kids. The other passed his hat for your cash.

If we can afford to give another $664 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% and spend over $1 trillion on the Pentagon, we can afford health care for the working people of this country.

Share these facts:

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

We’ve slipped toward authoritarianism in the U.S., with portions of the country seemingly unalarmed or even generally supportive. So, how do we talk about or even define democracy? We're start by explaining why it matters in this week’s briefing.

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

There was simply zero need for masked, armed, unidentified agents to kidnap Rümeysa Öztürk off the street. It was a blatant intimidation tactic by an authoritarian administration, plain and simple.

Always be a Bruce.
