Waiting now for the press statement on her tattoos from Bondi … @timmiller.bsky.social

A federal judge is raising alarms that the Trump administration deported a two-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with “no meaningful process,” even as the child’s father was frantically petitioning the courts to keep her in the country.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

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.

Francis was the best Pope of my lifetime. He occupied the top of a powerful hierarchy while still challenging it. He provided a moral reminder of the values of decency, humility and empathy towards the vulnerable in a role, and at a time, where it easy to lose sight of those values.

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.”

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

This is the 1-for-1 trade-off the sick fucks want to make. These DC Republicans are broken, corrupt and soulless. This is a straight-up heist, and we are the mark. #MedicaidCutsKillUS

I do everything I can to keep my kids away from politics, but I sat with them for the last hour of Cory Booker’s speech. It’s a remarkable moment.

Sen. @booker.senate.gov's speech on the Senate floor, now live for almost 25 hours, has been liked on TikTok a staggering 350 million times www.tiktok.com/@senbooker/l...

and that’s why you do performative things

The rhetorical victory is this: the proposal that we can and will outlast them.

(stomps on floor) "You hear that down there, Strom?"

we’ll see how it plays out, primaries are hard, but I genuinely think “what if we didn’t suck” is a great pitch Dem voters right now are incredibly tired of watching the party fold like a wet paper bag, so it resonates, and it also doesn’t feel message tested like so many Dem communications
