We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Sen. SCHIFF: There are laws that say you can’t use the military for domestic law enforcement. Why? Constitutional law expert: This goes back to our founding. We did not want our military engaging in domestic law enforcement at the behest of potentially corrupt politicians.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Donald Trump's policies are cruel and harmful. They're also insulting, to his opponents and supporters alike. His actions and claims insult the intelligence of the American people - and our shared values.

Vladimir Putin is a sworn enemy of the United States. Appeasement was never going to work. Why is that so difficult to understand?

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.

Buttigieg understands how to do this. If people don't care about their neighbors, you can't change their hearts (at least not in the short term.) But you can make them understand how this affects entire communities. MEDICAID DOLLARS DON'T GO TO PEOPLE. THEY GO TO HOSPITALS, DOCTORS, NURSING HOMES.

They found no fraud—just a new way to screw over retirees at Silicon Valley speed.

Okay, that’s enough internet for today.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Thank you for having Jon Tester join the team‼️ 👍🏼

Happy Mother's Day to the world's best Mom - and all the amazing mothers out there who shape this world for the better, one life at a time!

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

New Mexico’s LGBTQ+ community knows I will always stand with them and that’s why, once again, I’m cosponsoring the Equality Act. No one should ever fear harassment or discrimination because of who they are or who they love.

Looks like I will be on 60 Minutes on Sunday. That is me at the end of the clip.👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1ef...

this is just the beginning. hearing of multiple corporate clients leaving law firms that capitulated to Trump. it’s only logical: if you’re in a face off with federal government, you can’t retain a law firm with conflicted interests.

@maddow.msnbc.com. Thought sure someone at msnbc would continue showing all the protests around the country. We get 24/7 non-stop coverage of the trump administration and it’s chaos. Your coverage of the people standing up and fighting back is why I tuned in. Hardly nothing yesterday. 🫣☹️

Join us in Cedar Rapids as @votevets.org hosts a townhall with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social May 13th! I’ll be there!

Again, I am ASTOUNDED that SO MANY people don’t understand that if Walmart or Target can’t stock their shelves, NO STORE will be able to. It doesn’t matter if you are boycotting them. How are people on both sides somehow not grasping this concept?!?

I truly wish him the best and thank him for his service. The Dems now have to demonstrate that they are prepared to forge a new path forward in which leadership is selected based on the range of skills we need to effectively navigate this emergency, not exclusively on “next man up” seniority.

Who else AGREES with Pedro?! 🤚

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Pope Francis was a master of making emotional connections. He was, at heart, a pastor to wounded souls. Here are some of the most memorable moments of Pope Francis' papacy.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Is this real #magic or just a mind-blowing trick? Watch this illusion that’ll leave you amazed!

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Honestly unless there’s swift arrests and prosecution happening from things like this then stop reporting it, cause clearly no one’s getting reprimanded for wiping their asses w/the Constitution so who cares?

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Occasionally someone on here tries to "Come for me" but I'm simply too old to have online beef. You are a barking chihuahua and I am the silent oak tree (200 years old)

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.
