Two justice systems.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Happy Pride! I was so honored to lead Baltimore’s 50th Pride Parade as Grand Marshal and celebrate with our community in love and appreciation for our LGBTQ neighbors. We must never lose sight that everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are and love who they love.

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

TACO Trump Always Chickens Out

When you see posts like this, it's helpful to keep in mind that Donald doesn't think like a watchful statesman, he thinks like a greedy crook. These posts are not intended to bring jobs back to America, they are intended to manipulate stock prices to bring money back to Donald and his oligarchs.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Some random Virgil for you: "Be warned; learn ye to be just and not to slight the gods! This one sold his country for gold & fastened on her a tyrant lord; he made and unmade laws for a bribe. Had I a hundred tongues, a hundred mouths, and voice of iron, I could not sum up all the forms of crime.’"

The GOP wants to hand out $7T in tax breaks to billionaires while taking food from our kids. Cutting SNAP isn’t about “balancing the budget” — it’s a cruel agenda that will impact millions of children, seniors, and families. That’s why these cuts are not only unconscionable, they’re disgusting.

Putin has decided to end his attack on Ukraine. Just because Donald Trump said STOP! I think it was the all caps that did it… 😉

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Alright y’all—early voting starts TODAY in Texas! Make your voice heard in local elections that impact our schools, streets, and everyday lives. Find your polling place or more information at votetexas.gov

The pope dies while JD Vance is in Rome. Coincidence? Or something else entirely? Conspiracy theorists – go!

To anyone facing the administration’s wrath. (Those of them with money anyway) Get some of Tr*mp‘s lawyers and delay, delay, delay. Use his own playbook against him.

The only autistic person that will never pay any taxes is Elon Musk.

We apologize for the length of this post, but we felt it was important to share the full details with you.

Dem’s project 2029 part 6

Notice how nobody talks about bodily autonomy for women anymore? I betcha they’re going to try and curtail women’s rights further while all this other sh*t is going down.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

Bill Maher probably would have told us the Hitler had a nice mustache and made a good schnitzel.

What did Marjorie Taylor Greene know about the tariff announcements and what stock trades did she make? We need answers.

Trump’s trade chaos is undermining our economy and hurting American families. If Republicans have their way on tariffs and their huge tax bill, most Americans will see their taxes go up, while those on top get a big break. We need a trade policy that puts working people first.

In America last year, nearly 40 million workers made less than $17 an hour. Unacceptable. Nobody in America can make it on $7.25 an hour, $9 an hour or $12 an hour. We need an economy in which all of our workers earn a living wage.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.
