Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Did you read the book about Joe’s decline? Big Bill: No because he’s not the president anymore and he did a good job when he was the president.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Margaret Brennan totally exposes FDA Commissioner Makary for making it up as he goes and making conflicting recommendations in order to cast doubt on covid vaccines. He's so terrible during this interview that Brennan is left shaking her head as she wraps it up.

A father daughter bonding day together turns into a nightmare. Sheron Brown, a Black man, took his 10-year-old daughter fishing at Lake Shirley in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. A man on the shore, later identified as David McPartlan, demanded they leave, yelling profanities and even throwing rocks.

🏫 Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private and religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. 🛑 We must STOP this backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice!" #HandsOffPublicSchools

The voucher system is a Trojan horse for privatization. Don't be fooled – it's a threat to public education as we know it. A right wing target for decades. #HandsOffPublicSchools

Future teachers are being priced out of the profession. Aspiring educators rely on Pell Grants and federal aid to finish their degrees—but GOP cuts are slamming the door. We need more teachers, not more barriers. Fund their future so they can shape ours. 📚🍎 #HandsOffPublicSchools

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

My BIGGEST concern is that NO Senators are addressing the power consolidation efforts. They are focused almost exclusive on #Medicaid cuts. This bill doesn't break the law. It rewrites the law so yam tits never breaks it again. thehill.com/homenews/sen... CALL THEM! www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid. Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt. Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.
