Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Native American Women Tell Border Patrol To Fuck Off for Harassing Them About Being Citizens.

I hope they bring chainsaws and wheelbarrows and help with debris pickup while they are here with nothing to do. www.lakeexpo.com/news/lake_ne...

A walking example of how heroin destroys your mind.

Gavin Newsom needs to ban the orange idiots bitcoin.

Bye, Bye, Missouri America Pie...the day the music died.

All you need to know about St. Louis' worth to Republicans is 40 national guard for 2 weeks to help clean up after the tornado vs. all 12,000 of them activated for rumored protests that will be non-violent, if they even happen.

The ole "weapons of mass destruction excuse" to bomb the shit out of people.

The Department of Energy is trying to get rid of accessibility requirements for new construction via rulemaking. This unprecedented move, which seems to be illegal, could be the blueprint for other federal agencies to follow. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The orange idiot's deal with Iran has worked our well. 😱 Can he just shut his ignorant, damn mouth for the next week.

I miss the days when conservatives thought Marshall Dillon was right when he backhanded the Dodge, loud mouth, rich dude for spewing hate against Indians and homesteaders.

Remember my warning about playing fetch in the house with an 80lb dog. So, I fractured my tibia. For all of those who will ask, my dog is fine.

A bit of history: On Independence Day 1798, the Senate used the new attendance rule to call back enough senators to enact one of the most repressive statutes in American history. The Sedition Act of 1798 reflected growing national hysteria over the possibility of war with France.

Half of my friends are trying to figure out which country might take them.

Welp, you already can't sell your house in Florida, already can't afford insurance, already can't find workers, and it's hurricane season.

This is who the tyrant is deporting for the sole purpose of destroying California's economy. Republican Senators and Reps know this.

Stephen Miller is a bitter, spiteful, cold-hearted man — venomous in his words, ruthless in his actions, brimming with seething hatred, malicious intent, and a twisted, sadistic delight in others’ pain.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

The L.A. protesters have really gone too far this time… 🌼

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

Reading about the WWII European resistance. I didn't realize it only took 6 days for France to fall. It makes me so much more impressed by the people of Ukraine, who prevail up against a monster.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

Sen. Patty Murray on the Padilla incident: "I have been here for more than 32 years. I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."

Can the Missouri National Guard bring some chainsaws, wheel barrows, and pick up bricks in St. Louis on Saturday?

The Missouri National Guard consists of approximately 12,000 personnel, including Soldiers, Airmen, Federal technicians, and State employees. There are 3.6 million Missourians. 🤷‍♀️

Congress must bear witness to the police state that is happening in California. Get on a plane to L.A. now! Every single one of you!

Every Senator and Congressman should be on a plane to L.A. right now.

ICE agents saw a brown man speak up at Kristi Noem's conference and went to work. Didn't matter that it was Senator Padilla. Anyone who thinks their wealth, power and privilege will protect them, just see this video.

Oh Johnny boy but if more than he can chew

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

In the video footage of the moment, Padilla can be heard clearly identifying himself, saying: “I’m Senator Alex Padilla” and trying to ask Noem a question. If her Mar a Lago lips are flopping, she is lying. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...
