Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

30 years ago, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnd0eSuxu84

It was a genuine pleasure to work with Jim Alwine on this OpEd about RFK Jr. replacing ACIP members with scientific outcasts of whom 7 out of 8 are unqualified to determine which vaccines to recommend to the American public.

One week after terminating the employment of over 100 staff at the National Endowment for the Humanities, the agency posts four open positions...but we who are now unemployed are not "eligible" to apply for them. The absolute cruelty is more apparent than ever. #NEH

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Real issue here is the exploitation of workers. The government could solve the immigration issues but chose not to so that workers can be exploited with low wages because they are undocumented. Again the average American would have come up with a solution but the CEOs etc just want to make money.

They have stolen our future. Feeling optimistic about your future is what keeps people happy. Taking that away and claiming we have no future unless we export all the immigrants or stop all abortions or make everyone Christian robs people of their happiness and replaces it with fear.

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

I can't help but think that there's also still a lot of very real PTSD around the fact that supporters of current GOP electeds came v close to killing Congressmembers on Jan 6—HUNTING specific D members—but those GOP electeds very performatively dismiss it & deride their colleagues' concerns.

Forcefully stopping and detaining my constituent and interrogating him about which hospital he was born in solely because he’s Latino is blatant racism. ICE's racial profiling is terrorizing communities, targeting U.S. citizens and making us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

This past Saturday, Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing birthday parade was held in stark contrast to thousands of protests across the country. But what does this non-violent resistance against Trump add up to in terms of creating real change? Looking to history can help.

Last night in Riverside, CA, what 6 months ago would’ve been on every new channel, was only on local news. A man drove his vehicle into protesters. At least one woman screamed that her sister had been ran over. /

For MAGA influencers (both in and out of office), right-wing violence doesn't exist. When those on the right commit it, they are either secretly liberal (Minnesota shooter), it wasn’t actually violence (Jan. 6 “tourists”) or their victims deserved what they got (the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi).

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

House Republicans voted to kick 16 MILLION people off their healthcare. Today, Senate Republicans proposed BIGGER CUTS to Medicaid, just to fund bigger tax cuts for giant corporations. Call your senator.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.

“Our job, as American citizens, is to make sure they realize that they have more politically to lose by riding the tiger of this out of control administration- which will sooner or later eat them too- than going along with it. And that’s going to take all of us raising our voices like never before…”

Kristi Noem, Dr. Phil, and ICE went to this woman’s home in Huntington Park, CA at 6am to make a spectacle and you want me to be satisfied with @governor.ca.gov flowery words? Watch. It’s disgusting. Noem belongs in prison.

🧵Over 6,000 doctors, nurses, researchers, and others released an open letter of warning against the administration’s destruction of public health, research, and Medicaid programs. “We are certain this will cost lives.” This is the energy we need right now. Refuse to be silent. Lives depend on it.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…
