Read @ddayen.bsky.social's interview with @jdscholten.bsky.social on why he's jumping into the Iowa Senate race against Joni "we are all going to die" Ernst: prospect.org/politics/202...

Only one day after launching our U.S. Senate campaign against Joni “we are all going to die” Ernst, the handicappers moved the race in our direction! 🇺🇸

Why is he still in office???

WATCH: “You stand in my church. You promised me.” A Minneapolis pastor confronts the chief of police about helping ICE

I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

🚨CBO: House GOP budget bill to add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years. 10.9 million people to lose health insurance by 2034.

Florida Meteorologist: “Due to budget cuts, we might not be able to warn you about hurricanes.” Welcome to 2025, where every gust of wind is a surprise round of “just a breeze or is my house about to blown away to Georgia?”

I’ve been feeling a bit defeated today, but this👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 is the light I needed👍🏻‼️👇🏼

I snorted my coffee when I saw this.

This is heartbreaking. Rest in peace, Jonathan 💔

KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal? LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Glorious swimming

1/ New in the Abrego Garcia case, the Judge has just granted his lawyers' request for permission to file sanctions against the government, which is very unusual.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries. Now she's running for state house. eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Good morning! 🙂

Truth! 👇👇👇

They prove it every single day.

Man he really hates being called a taco, doesn’t he? Might even say he’s got a thin shell.

New Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson's personal X page is a treasure trove of ultraright-wing content. She has posted about the great replacement theory—which alleges there's a coordinated plot to decrease America’s white population—incessantly for the past 3 years. https://trib.al/vrtqs6L

Defense Sec. Hegseth says he's detailing civilian DoD employees to DHS "to support its operations at the U.S. southern border and with internal immigration enforcement." (h/t @svdate.bsky.social) This is on top of letting soldiers detain civilians along the border: www.huffpost.com/entry/milita...

Why don't we name hegseth Jim bean hegaeth for united states navy 🤔 as a navy ship to be commissioned Hooyah #UnitedStatesNavy #ProudBlue

I do not know the whole service record of service of Harvey Milk in the United States Navy, but I do know that he did not let foot bone spurs to keep him from serving. Hegseth orders the name of gay rights activist Harvey Milk scrubbed from Navy ship www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Look at this. Representative Rob Bresnahan said he would ban stock trading when he got into Congress in January. Since then, he's traded 530 times.

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!😊💙

That's why.

Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email [email protected]. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

Imagine dedicating your career to hurting the most in need.

Poor Gizmo. All alone and waiting to join her flying family. She was flapping & jumping about 10 minutes ago. She’s getting so close!
