That is exactly right!

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Mahmoud Khalil was sitting in ICE detention as his wife gave birth to their first child yesterday. ICE denied an emergency request for Mahmoud to be present for the delivery.

“Pro-life” but only until they’re born…

China’s auto exports just surged 16% in the first quarter of 2025 as Trump isolates America from the rest of the world.

Donald Trump is against due process even though he has benefited from it more than anyone else. And Donald doesn't just get *due* process, he get *undue* process, thanks to a corrupt, partisan Supreme Court.

Uncle Sam’s Naughty Fella shared this.

🚨Heads up — we are told by a source when the new anti-hemp law kicks in law enforcement across TN plans to raid stores… mainly for their cash. Any hemp-related businesses should make sure they are in compliance, as the TN GOP supermajority drags us in the wrong direction.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

At a time when moral leadership has been in short supply in the world — when authoritarians and neofascists are pushing us into darkness — Pope Francis pointed toward the light. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-conscience-of-the-world

Video shows far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir being heckled by Israeli activists in the US for his opposition to a new ceasefire and captive deal in Gaza.

Students in schools ran by the DoD, like all public school students, have a First Amendment right to read and learn free from government censorship.

They’re both very evil and very stupid

Elon Musk’s staffers are trying to push into the National Gallery of Art. They recently met with the museum’s director and legal team, to question its legal status and explore ways to assert influence. One of the nation’s most respected art institutions is now in their crosshairs.

He’s sick in the head. Time to go, POS.

Elon Musk reportedly wants to leave politics, because he is tired of getting criticized by folks like us. Here’s an idea: stop being absolutely horrible—and start using your money to help America, instead of trying to destroy it. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/more-great...

The head of Homeland Security lost her badge, passport, & $3k in cash. Her reputation for being an ineffective cosplaying figure head remains in tact.

A. True. American. Hero. 😎✨

He did it. He crashed the entire economy. In exactly 90 days.

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.

In 35-page ruling, DColo judge grants class-wide (statewide) TRO against removing Venezuelans under Alien Enemy Act. Plaintiffs likely to win on argument that ACT DOES NOT APPLY. "Invasion," "predatory incursion," "foreign nation or govt" all absent here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What she said for damn sake!!

At least 28 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air attacks on several areas across the Gaza Strip since dawn, medical sources tell Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/lxixmp

Masked ICE agents snatched Rümeysa Öztürk off the street for writing an op-ed in support of Palestinian rights. We're working for her immediate release from detention.

'What we are seeing is truly extraordinary in terms of very huge momentum of air strikes and artillery bombardments that have been seen over the course of the past 24 hours', reports Al Jazeera's Tareq Azzom from Gaza. 🟥 Read report: aje.io/hhhb0j

Q: “The people who were fired were Hegseth’s own guys. How do you square that?” Press Sec: “We don’t tolerate leaks… He’s doing a tremendous job…”🎪

They would have had ICE deport Him.

Missourians have stopped wringing their hands and are now protesting with their feet. They are marching. They are speaking out and fighting back. They are not silent. We can’t be silent anymore. We also can’t wait for anyone else to do the work for us. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Time for Marjorie Taylor Green to go down in flames, let’s get this done… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Real classy.

Really not good www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

Continuing a pattern of stonewalling, the Justice Department has defied a judge’s order to explain what the Trump administration has done, and plans to do, to seek the release of a Maryland man who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador last month, court papers show.

RFK Jr. is launching a government registry to track autistic Americans using private medical records.

I love this!

Remember, friends, it is definitely _progressives_ who are snowflaky and refuse to live in any reality they dislike. Pay no attention to this case in which whiny conservatives say _looking at a picture_ of two men holding hands is "religious coercion."

My ancestors taught me to freeze my flour, refrigerate my butter, wash my eggs before I crack them, and never buy meat that is pre-seasoned. I guess they prepared me for a country that doesn’t test the quality of milk…
