I don't care how many junior staffs Hegseth or others throw under the bus. Hegseth HIMSELF was on the Signal group chat. He used his fingers to enter the sensitive military info into the chat. He bears 100% full responsibility for that -- no matter how many scapegoats he finds.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Now that the SAVE Act has passed the House, what will the Senate do? @robertgarcia.bsky.social on how the GOP is trying to make voting harder www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

Princeton, Harvard, MIT…. Courage is contagious. Do not capitulate. Do not kiss the ring.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

As everybody gins up their rage at the “mainstream media” in anticipation of todays joint presser with the President of El Salvador, remember that this WH, more than any in our lifetimes, controls who gets to ask questions of the President.

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

Today El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukeke will visit the White House - no doubt to advance plans to imprison incarcerated U.S. citizens in El Salvador.We need to stop this before it happens. Call both your Senators and your Rep. & tell them NO! 202-224-3121 open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Remember Fiona Hill? She’s now sounding the alarm again: “We’re definitely on a path toward full-on state repression. There’s no question about it. I’ve thought about this for an extraordinarily long time.” When Fiona speaks, we should all listen.

This White House is a threat to our most basic rights. This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation. Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.

The SAVE Act, the extreme bill that would make voting harder for millions of Americans, passed today in the US House. Next stop in our fight to protect voter rights– the US Senate. See the League of Women Voters of the US statement here: bit.ly/LWVstatementSAVEact

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

DOGE eliminated 3 of the 5 investigators at the NIOSH Firefighter Fatality Investigation Program. And despite cancer now being the leading cause of death in firefighters nationwide, DOGE eliminated the entire office of the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer.

Nationwide organizing (like our work to help mobilize millions last weekend) takes a lot of resources, so our resistance grows bigger and better when you pitch in. Please consider a donation to build momentum and fuel our organizing during the congressional recess: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

The "freight train" coming for the separation of church and state is receiving scant coverage. Before I left my job at POLITICO, I was heavily researching the case at the center of it all -- started in Oklahoma. Justice Barrett's good friend helped seed it, which I reported. I have more to share 👇

The rationale was to address "mismanagement, fraud, and misaligned priorities." Former USAID official Jeremy Konyndyk said reversals and inconsistencies in the cancellations created "total whiplash."

THEY ARE ALL INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

Children receiving social security until 18 because of the death of a parent is very common…. ITS BASED ON THE PAYMENTS THE DEAD PARENT PAID. It’s SOCIAL SECURITY INSURANCE….. it’s not free it was paid in to a trust just in case…. You know how life insurance works.

Let’s cut taxes for hardworking moms and dads.

She meant to say “this administration is doing things illegally”.

NEWS: The House narrowly voted to approve the GOP budget blueprint by a vote of 216-214, which aims to make massive cuts to Medicaid and give massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.
