Video shows agents breaking the passenger window, opening the door and pulling Daniel Flores-Martinez out of the SUV on Mother's Day.

Outside New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern is regarded as a liberal paragon among world leaders. Why did her own country turn on her?

“What we’re trying to do is say, across the board, Democrats need to stand up and fight harder." On the latest 🎧 More to the Story, gun control activist and DNC vice chair @davidhogg.bsky.social talks about the future of the party—and rattling the establishment.

Ernst said "we are all going to die." Trump is making sure women go first. apnews.com/article/abor...

Why isn’t this the headline on every news station?

And now for something different than my usual posts. www.bbc.com/reel/video/p...

Iowa Republican Senator Joni Ernst was cut off when an audience member shouted, “People are going to die!” “People are not—well, we all are going to die,” Ernst responded, as the audience drowned her in loud protests. https://trib.al/Je0Dp5L

Unbelievable. www.msn.com/en-us/video/...

NEW: Of the 238 men deported to the prison in El Salvador, DHS data shows: • 130 had no U.S. criminal histories aside from immigration violations; • 32 had been convicted of crimes in the U.S.; • 6 of those were violent crimes.

There's your fraud 👇

Libby swooned as Shelby Mustang arrived at his forever home. He has a large head, dun markings, beautiful soft eyes, and huge dinner-plate feet that will get a good trim. We’re building up his weight with good nutrition. Thank you for helping us give this gentle senior the retirement he deserves!

Something is flashing at us from space – and scientists have no idea what it is

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Conservatives in Congress are literally, right now trying to take health care and food assistance away from poor families in order to give yet another tax break to their rich friends. Send a letter to your Senators to stop them here: bit.ly/45n1uMX #ResistTrump

This Memorial Day weekend, take a moment to appreciate what the holiday truly means 👇

Great point 👇

Keep asking these questions, Peter Alexander. Bravo.

“Six years ago, I found myself face to face with a white farmer preparing for the government to take his land. This did not happen in South Africa. It was in South Texas, and it was because of Trump…” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

If only Christian charity were as easy as accessorizing.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

It seems like the head of the Department of Homeland Security should know what habeas corpus is. Especially since it is a pillar of the Constitution, the WH Policy Director has said publicly that they may suspend it, and DHS will have to enforce that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

He gets crazier and crazier by the day.
