That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also paying for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

I want them all unmasked. I want Noem, Homan, and Miller to someday be tried for their crimes against humanity. Ditto for the ICE agents and other officers who abuse innocent tourists, college students, and refugees When all this is over, I want justice. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

🚨TARIFF UPDATE: Tariffs are non-negotiable, negotiable, but not a negotiating tactic. They are permanent until they are paused but they will never be paused, until they are paused which means they increase. Permanent exemptions already announced are temporary, but nothing has been announced. 🤡🎪

Congressional ofices are much more receptive to calls for Ukraine legislation right now. 70% of the country wants the U.S. to support Ukraine and defeat Putin. This is a popular piece of legislation that costs nothing and provides a diplomatic backstop to peace negotiations. Call Congress!

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

👇🎯 This stuff is the entire ballgame. And the fact that this hasn’t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If 👇 goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.

For the last 17 years, I’ve had access to classified information on a daily basis. When you use an unsecure chat like Signal, you’re laughing at the people who put themselves in harms way to keep us safe.

Union of Trumpist Republics of Trump Look at the effect of Trump's iron curtain! Europe is already starting tariff integration with China. Unfortunately, the isolation of the United States will affect its people, just as it affected the former USSR for decades. #TrumpsIronCurtain #MAGAvirus

I’d argue that the New Hampshire Town Meeting voter is the most engaged voter in the country. If even that voter can get tripped up, imagine what the typical voter might experience. The GOP is salivating at the chance to create chaos nationwide by passing the ‘SAVE Act.’ Call your Senators!

If i had had any role in sending an innocent man to prison in El Salvador ( or anywhere) i would spend every moment trying to bring him back to his home & freedom- for as long as it took. I feel all of us would do that. Only a sociopath would do otherwise

Trump's push for a consent decree over Columbia —essentially a court-enforced agreement—shows a growing control over academia. By threatening to withhold millions in federal grants, it forces campuses into political conformity. Columbia's fight for funding could lead to years of legal uncertainty.

Was this market manipulation? Was this corruption in plain sight? I’ve called for an independent investigation. The American people need to know whether Trump or anyone in his administration used their official position to benefit his billionaire donors.

If every American got a passport it wouldn't matter. The Republicans would add another condition in another law that required even more proof of citizenship. Republicans aren't actually trying to secure elections, they're trying to deny certain people the right to vote.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

You couldn’t make the corruption any clearer. Every member of Congress should disclose their trades in the market this week, effective immediately.
